“Our tour guide Spookey Rob was excellent, this was an informative and engaging tour. Allows to you to see some great sites and learn some history. Rob was very attentive, we even had a guest in the group who was on the tour in a wheelchair that Rob was helping out throughout the entire tour. Because as you may know, New Orleans sidewalks are a challenge for anyone, no less for someone who required wheelchair assistance.”

Salem’s Best Ghost Tour

4.Salem’s Best Ghost Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4,186 reviews · 1 hour 15 minutes (approx.) · from $30

Salem’s Best Ghost Tour is a 75-minute, $30 nighttime walking tour of witch trial sites, cemeteries, and Essex Street with a licensed guide.

“I had a very bad tour guide. I left after the 2nd stop on the tour. I believe her name was Julie or Stacey from Buffalo. She reiterated all the facts given from the Salem Witch Trial Museum. She seemed bothered to be working and more interested in making jokes with other tour members about SpongeBob Square Pants than getting into the Halloween significance of Salem. I did this tour 6 years ago and my tour guide was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. Not this time. I guess this tour is dependent on your guide.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our evening on this ghost tour! Our guide, Simon, was excellent, providing a captivating and detailed recounting of ghost stories sourced from a local author. His knowledge and presentation truly made the historical lore come alive. It’s important to note that this tour focuses more on local storytelling and history than outright frights—it wasn't spooky or scary, but the narrative quality was outstanding. A practical tip: The route involves walking through several low-lit areas with uneven cobblestone streets and walkways. Be sure to wear appropriate, comfortable shoes, and keep an eye on your footing! Highly recommended for anyone interested in Charleston's history an...”

Savannah Ghosts & Gravestones trolley tour with nighttime River Street access and Andrew Low House visits, PG-13 spooky stories, fun guides.

“I was really disappointed with this ghost tour. The “acting” felt more silly than spooky, and it completely took away from the experience. Instead of creating any real atmosphere or suspense, the performances came across as forced and not believable. The warehouse portion of the tour was especially frustrating — it felt pointless, dragged on, and honestly was a waste of time. On top of that, the staff didn’t seem friendly or welcoming, which only made the whole thing less enjoyable. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this tour and definitely wouldn’t do it again.”
