8 Ghost Tours in Salem Worth Booking

1.Salem’s Best Ghost Tour

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

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.”
