We were walking down the street and ran into the Spellbound tour guide and of course he suggested we purchase tickets at the time which we did. We met up exactly on time and the fun started. The historical narrative of the tour made it extremely interesting. Not only was the ghost sightings discussed but there was a lot of... More

Mike lead a fantastic tour. He is a very knowledgable and enthusiastic tour guide. Salem is a great city to do a ghost tour in and Mike is an excellent guide.

We did the Spellbound tour on May 5th 2012. The tour was good, went to a couple different places we didnt know about and the guide was very knowledgable. We had two compliants though, one there were people smoking in the group during the tour which made it uncomfortable as I have asthma. I think it would be help for... More

We just got back from our tour tonight and it was GREAT! I had been to Salem before and was pretty annoyed because it seemed like some history places changed a ton but gave you next to nothing for it. But on the adivce of a friend I decided to give Salem another chance and I am so glad we... More

Mike was our tour guide this evening and we all agreed that he was very knowledgeable on Both the history and legend! We found that while he was really interesting to listen to, he was also interested in what we had to say and was very keen to share in our experiences. We were very lucky to have a private... More

My teenage daughter & I went to Salem, MA on Friday the 13th (April 2012). This tour was our favorite part of our trip. Mike, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about Salem history and the paranormal. He was dressed appropiately for a ghost tour, not in period costume as were some of the other tour guides. We had a... More

Don't be fooled by the fliers that say THIS is the real deal! There was nothing interesting about this tour whatsoever! It was completely boring and I couldn't wait until it was over - in fact my friend and I cut out early because we couldn't take it anymore! It's not that expensive but even $1 isn't worth it. You...

Our guide was Jackie, who could be described as sassy. She had a lot of great info about old Salem and its sordid and certainly haunted past. While we did not see any ghosts, i am convinced others have on this tour as the buildings we visited have a unique paranormal past. You will see some scary places!

I decided to go onto this tour. Overall I have to say I enjoyed it. However, after paying 13.00 a ticket I would assume that some of that money could go towards getting new ones instead of reusing the ones from previous tours. (It's called VistaPrint, get some of the free business cards and just pay the shipping.) My tour... More
