Salem Ghost Tour/Reviews
Every Salem tour we cover, weighed by its reviews. A rating only means something on a pile of reviews, so this page shows the pile next to the score: which ratings stand on hundreds of travelers, which stand on a handful, and which tours have none yet. Fourteen have our full review; the rest link straight to the listing.

Bar length is the review count, drawn from the listing at build. Ratings and counts refresh with the site; a "thin" mark means fewer reviews than we trust a decimal on.
Almost every tour in Salem scores between very good and excellent, so the decimal alone will not choose for you. A score on a few dozen reviews can move a tenth of a point with one bad evening in the rain; a score on several hundred barely moves at all. We mark the first kind thin and say so in the row, because a perfect score on four reviews is the least reliable number on this page, and it usually sits at the top of any list sorted by rating.
A few tours have no rating at all. That is not a warning: they are new listings or private tours that rarely collects reviews. We show the dash, keep the button, and tell you what we would book instead if a track record matters to you.
Low ratings, where they exist, are shown as they are. The button still works. Where a tour scores below the pack, its row says why, and names the alternative in the same breath.

Salem Ghost Tours →History and Hauntings holds the highest rating among tours with a large number of reviews: 4.8 on 858. Several tours score higher on paper, but on too few reviews to lean on.
Book History and Hauntings →We mark a rating thin below a threshold set from the data, currently 50 reviews. Above it, one bad night cannot move the score by more than a fraction; below it, one can.
See the ledger →They are new listings or private tours, which rarely collect reviews. The dash is not a warning. Each row names the rated alternative if a track record matters to you.
How to read a rating →No. Every quote on a review page is a traveler review from the listing, unedited. Our part is the verdict, and it is labeled as ours.
How this site earns →1692 Witchcraft Trials Walk, from $25 on the listing when we checked on 5 October 2026. Cheapest is not the same as best: the comparison above says what each price buys.
15, every one that the listings sell under this heading, with the figures each listing publishes.

History and Hauntings carries the most reviews on this page and the highest rating of any tour with real weight behind it. If you have one evening and no strong preference, it is the safe call; the Salem Night Tour is the shorter, cheaper evening.
