April gave us a 5 star tour - We went on the tour this evening with our nine-year-old on our first trip to Salem. April was AWESOME!!! Her knowledge of the history of Salem made it so much more than just a ghost tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and her enthusiasm!

Salem Night Tour a Must for Us Whenever We Go - This was our second time taking the Night Tour in Salem. We enjoyed it so much last time with Bobby that we decided upon our return to the New England town, to do it again to close out our great time there and we were not disappointed. The history in this small town is amazing and we learn new things every time we go and every time we go on the tour. Our guide this time was April. She was funny and fascinating. If you go to Salem Mass, make it a point to do this tour, Bobby, April, or whomever your guide is, you'll look at and appreciate the town even more after you do!

Spooky Good Time! - My daughter and I truly enjoyed this tour. Our tour master Bobby Kerrigan was informative and entertaining. We learned so much about the history of Salem as well as all of the spooky spots within the city. Our only regret was that we waited until our last night of vacation to take the tour - I suggest taking it early on in your stay so that you can go back to the sites visited and explore on your own time as well!

Very professional and fun! - Duo, did a great job explaining the history of Salam and of all the places we stopped at, especially trying to deal with weather. We had high winds, lightning and thunder. Duo our tour guide found a dry place for all of us to go and kept going with telling us the history of the witch trials.

Loved it - Bobby was so dynamic, fun and knowledgeable. It was a pretty large group (about 20) but it felt much smaller as he was great at engaging everyone. So much info about the witch trials in conjunction with the locations of happenings. I haven't been to Salem before and I learned so much from this tour. He balanced out the rimless of the topics with jokes. All of us loved it. Even though this is not geared to littles my 4 yr old had some fun too. Bobby did a great job of engaging him at times so he felt included. Great family tour!

Informative and entertaining - Duo was a great tour guide. He clearly did a lot of research about Salem and it's history. He was funny and entertaining even while the tour had to take cover from a large storm that came through! We missed some of the stops due to the storm but we enjoyed the tour over all.
