★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Awesome night tour!
919chelsiek, October 2026
We just completed our tour with Mike aka Dr. Vikta and it was so fun! Mike has such a good way of speaking and explaining supernatural and historical stories. I love that they research all the information they tell instead of making up facts. Meet up and drop off were easy. The tour lasted 90 minutes that flew by. The walking was an easy pace and no hills. 100% recommend!
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
A great tour through old Salem.
BenjaminGIII, October 2026
Viator booked the trip but I found it on TripAdvisor. A great experience. You can easily find the sites we toured but you miss so much without the information and background our excellent guide imparted. Short walk from the commuter rail station to the meeting point at the Park Visitor Center. The route was not difficult walking. Just long enough to give you the flavor and make you want to dive in a little deeper. Like they say, looks like just a bunch of old houses until you know what they've witnessed. Highly recommend!
★★★★★Tripadvisor review

Great tour for spooky history!
Alyson_M, October 2026
Lots of history and spooky info. Our guide was very knowledgeable and a good storyteller. There is a lot of standing and bathrooms in Salem are scarce, so plan ahead.

Mike was very knowledgeable. He told us some really cool stories. One of the guests might have even got a picture of a ghost! We hope the Peabody museum does a gallery on pirates and show cases captain black beards skull! (Which mike Told us about)
