We had Heather as our tour guide and she was amazing! She really got into character and you could tell she had a passion for what she was telling us! It wasn’t as spooky as I thought it would be, more historical than I expected, but we still enjoyed it!

Theatrical Experience of Salem Mysteries & Murders
Jackie_C
, Jul 2022
The Mysteries & Murders tour was excellent. Our host Paige was amazing. She made everyone feel welcome and included. We learned lots of history in a way that was theatrical and entertaining. We did the 7 pm tour which was great, it started to get darker as we were ending. Good for pictures but we might try a later tour just to get more of the spooky aspect in the dark next time. We highly recommend this tour and Paige.

Our guide was amazing. She really got into the stories and knew her information. She spoke loud enough for everyone to hear
Response from Host , Jul 2022
Not good. We left the tour early
Caitlyn_P
, Jul 2022
We didn't love this tour. The guide was perfectly nice, but would have been better for her to be a kids tour guide. There was too much theatrics like she was trying to keep a bunch of 10 year old interested. There were many many times I could understand what she was saying because she talked in a higher voice as part of her act. There were actual whole stories I didn't understand or hear all all. We actually left the tour about 30 minutes early.
We were pretty excited about this tour not being wll about the Salem witches, but we were pretty upset we wasted our money. Would not recommend.
Great tour!!!

Informational but not fun
Elizabeth_L
, Jun 2022
She had interesting information but the presentation was lacking. A more theatrical presentation would have been more fun. It was not her fault but there quite a few guests that were rude during her presentation. She tried to joke with them to diffuse the situation it seemed to have made it worse.
Boring and not worth $30
Aprill_K
, Jun 2022
I do not recommend this tour. It was long, drawn out stories about nothing. Several in the tour snuck away during the tour. Our tour guide was a great story teller but the actual history/murder mysteries were so long at each l location that interest was easily lost.
We also snuck away before the end. Definitely NOT worth $30!!!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
