Dianne was wonderful. Animated, warm, and completely alive to the stories of Salem. She made history feel less like the past and more like something still breathing in the streets around us. Her eye contact drew you in, her passion never wavered, and her love for this remarkable town was impossible not to feel. A beautiful walk through Salem’s history, led by someone who clearly carries a piece of it with her.

Salem ghost tour reviews
One review from each of the four best-known walks here, as GetYourGuide prints them. Each card says which walk it belongs to; the score for that walk is on its own page.
The tour was fun, Conor was knowledgeable and very entertaining! I loved learning about the history of Salem and it was cool to learn about other stuff other than the Salem witch trials. The ghost stories were great
I did this tour with my friend while we visited Salem for the evening. We did it during the summer which meant there was a smaller group of us. Honestly this was ideal as it was much more of a personal experience. While our guide was well about Salem, the witch trials and paranormal activity as a whole, his delivery of the stories were very entertaining and engaging. He was able to answer any questions we had and encouraged everyone to get involved.
I don’t normally enjoy interactive elements during tours but Stash’s enthusiasm was infectious and I had a great time!
Before you book a haunted walk
Nine things people ask about this kind of walk, answered from the same catalogue the table above is built from.
Is a Salem ghost tour scary?+
These are storytelling walks, not haunted houses: a guide, the streets and the documented cases. Nobody jumps out at you. The walks that lean hardest on fear are the late ones that hand out detection gear.
How long do they take?+
Most run an hour and a half. The shortest is an hour, the longest two.
Do they run in the rain?+
Yes. Every operator in this table says the walk runs rain or shine, and every one of them refunds a cancellation made 24 hours ahead.
Can children come?+
On all of these except the pub crawl, which is adults only, and the true-crime walk, which the operator sets at 13 and over.
Is there a Salem vampire tour?+
Two of the nine lean that way. Voodoo, Vampires, and Ghosts is the best rated walk in this group — 4.85 from 224 reviews, an hour and a half, from $25. Vampires and Ghosts with Haunted Objects is smaller and costs $32, but only twelve people have rated it.
What is on the Salem Voodoo, Vampires and Ghosts walking tour?+
An hour and a half on foot from the bell outside the visitor center on New Liberty Street, from $25. It carries the highest rating here and the second largest review count, which is why it is our best-value pick.
How is the Ghosts of Salem Walking Tour different?+
It leaves from 15 Derby Square rather than 32, runs an hour and a half and costs $29.99. Its rating is 4.03 from 59 reviews — a real record, but a fraction of the evidence behind the walk above it.
What is the Requiem for Salem ghost tour?+
A ninety-minute walk from the Charter Street Burying Point, $34.99, rated 4.43 from ten reviews. Ten is too few for a page of its own, so it sits in the table with the count showing.
What are the Salem ghost tours Witches and Wicked Whispers?+
The cheapest of the big-name walks at $24, one to an hour and a half depending on the option, rated 4.32 from 443 reviews. The meeting point varies by option, so read the confirmation.
