Customer Reviews
Edward the vampire has been doing this tour for over 30 years! (No one knows how old he really is though….) The experience was unforgettable and just the right amount of spooky. If you like ghost stories, history and even a dash of murder, this tour is for you!
My friend and I were on a girls trip to Salem from 9/14-917. We were invited by a lady she takes ceramics class with. Her and her daughter included us in their trip. Long story short. They wanted to do a ghost tour about every night. This specific one for vampires 🧛 and ghosts was our 3rd and finale one of the trip. So take in mind, some of them were a little burned out on going to or talking about the same places. ( understandably). Our first tour honestly wasn’t bad, but the guide we had on night one ( Sunday) nice guy but he would talk in circles and you couldn’t keep focus. That one was called “The Requiem for Salem Ghost Tour .” This one particularly we had was on a Tuesday evening, a tad later than our priors. Most of the night ones began at 8pm. Whereas, this one was 8:40p. I felt bad that it was only us 4; 5 including the guide, Ed. We enjoyed how Ed took us to some different spots and we did hear different stories and he didn’t bs us. Love how he dressed the part!! He reminded me of the grandpa from The Munsters ( not in a bad way) nice guy and took us inside their office building that stores haunted items. Overall one of our top tours we took while visiting Salem!
My daughter and I did this tour last night, and I am so glad we did! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Salem, and a very captivating storyteller. By the time you get to the end, you have a very good understanding of Salem and its history, culture and residents, both living, dead, or somewhere in between! The tour ended with getting to see some real haunted objects, which was very interesting! We thoroughly enjoyed this experience, and highly recommend it! Can’t wait to come back and do it again!
