We had Cas as a tour guide and she was phenomenal! She brought a lot of humor to the tour and was very knowledgeable about all things Salem, haunted or not. She gave us a little bit of history for context as well as the haunted sightings. Would highly recommend Salem Night Tours!

BMW was so much fun! By far the best tour we had during our stay in Salem. She involves the passengers and really makes the tour fun with her sense of humor. Highly recommend, you won’t regret it.
