At first the tour seemed a bit disorganised, we were sent to stand beside the Bewitched Statue with loads of other people who were waiting on tours, however the guide soon took control and gathered his flock and we began our amazing journey into the darkest stories of Salem’s history. Coming from Scotland it was our first time in USA and in Salem and we were delighted with the knowldedge of our guide of events in Scotland and the UK which linked to Salem. The guide, Vin, was professional, knowledgeable and an expert story teller. We particularly loved the end where he tied in the Clue(do) game to the murder of a local resident in front of the house it took place. We would highly recommend this tour. First class.

I was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. After a day packed with waiting in lines, we had an 8:30 ghost tour booked, and even though we were exhausted I'm so glad we did this! The streets were much less crowded by then, our group was a little smaller than some of the other tours I'd been seeing which was a huge relief, and our guides were amazing! I learned so much, and the lady who started off said she was the owner and she was awesome! Everyone else in town seemed like they were really run down but she was so energetic and the ghost stories were so different than what I was expecting! Pirates, ancient Chinese ghosts, Houdini, I was really surprised. Halfway through her trainee took over, and even though she was obviously nervous and needed to check in about a name or two, some of the stuff she was saying really creeped me out. If this is what they're like on a crazy busy night, I'd love to do it again. There were a couple of really obnoxious folks in the back that left partway through, and they were the only issue I had, apart from just general loud music at some of the stops, but the guides had mics that helped a lot.

Was delighted to be able to take Black Cat tours night tour. I had researched the tour groups in Salem and everything I read about this tour was so positive...from the #4 spot in USA Today's top 10 ghost tours in the country to their support of feline rescue and foster. The information is clearly researched and delivered in a way that leaves goosebumps without being over the top. The attention to detail with the guide's attire and the glowing pumpkin lights add to the truly Salem atmosphere. Bravo to owners Daniel and Lara for creating such an amazing experience!

Our guide was Adriana (not sure of correct spelling) and Doug was her backup person. We had a large group and being Halloween night Salem was packed. Both our guide and backup person were able to keep us all together. She spoke loudly and clearly and had a great pace both walking and telling us the history and stories of Salem. Have to give her credit for getting us around the other Tour groups and general crowd.

Came for my 7th Visit to Salem, and had my first tour with Black Cat tours. I have taken other tours with other companies in the past, but this was MY favorite to date. Very informative. We had split Tour guides as out second half was with a guide finishing her training and she did Very well. I was very pleased with the tour all the way around. Even with the masks, we could easily hear the guides which was NOT the case with other tours we had taken 2 years ago. Very Good Job by Black Cat !

Daniel was an amazing tour guide. I am so glad I did my research and went with Black Cat. Leading up to the tour my husband and I asked the locals in shops and restaurants what company they would recommend and they ALL Said Black Cat. They are there year round and don't just show up during the Halloween season. They are well versed in the history of Salem. It was a highlight of our trip.

Such a great experience! We were a little unsure with it being off season. Wasn’t sure if tours were going on and what not. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to answer questions anyone had. You could tell he loved his job and made it so fun for everyone on the tour. Highly recommended!

We did the ghostly night tour and it was awesome. We also did it a few years ago and it was just as fun the second time around, and we definitely learned new things. Our guide was Adri and she was a joy. And she's local, so she really knows her stuff! Allons-y! One of the surprisingly helpful aspects of Black Cat tours is that they have someone function as the rear guard to make sure you don't lose the group if you're not at the front of the pack with the guide, which is hugely helpful when Salem is as busy as it gets on weekends. Plus the guide used a microphone which was key to not missing any ghostly details. Overall, we had an awesome time and you won't regret taking this fun/spooky tour of Salem.

This walking night tour with Olivia was great. With so many options for walking tours, I wasn't sure which to choose. I was looking for something with some history and some ghostly stories, but not hokey. This was the perfect tour for that. Our tour was small, 8 people, and I liked that much better than the larger groups we saw. This was a perfect tour for our group of young teens and adults. Would be fine for younger children as well.

Jeff was amazing, you can tell he knows his history and certainly has a passion for it. Although we are in the middle of a pandemic he made what would have been a boring Friday night, a fun, fact filled entertaining evening out.
Thank you so much,
Misty
