| Tour | Format | Access | Verdict | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salem Night Tour: Haunt and Historyour pickfrom $30 · rated 4.5 | after darkEvening walk, storiesnightstories | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Rain or shine | The shorter evening, and our pick for a first night. Stories first, and it ends downtown. It is also the busiest, so October dates go early; History and Hauntings is the longer walk over the same streets. | Book |
| History and Hauntings Guided Walking Tourthe cheaper alternativefrom $36 · rated 4.8 | after darkWalk, stories + historystorieshistory | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Rain or shine | The honest cheaper alternative. Same streets, more history in the mix, less theater. If you want pure scares, take the Night Tour instead. | Book |
| Witches & Wicked Whispersfrom $32 · rated 4.3 | after darkEvening walk, theatricalnighttheatrical | Starts SalemKids All agesRain Rain or shine | Most theatrical of the set, a costumed guide and staged moments. Not for anyone wanting the record; for that, cross to the 1692 walks. | Book |
| Boos and Brews Haunted Pub Crawlfrom $40 · rated 4.1 | after darkPub crawl, storiesnightpub | Starts SalemKids 21+Rain Rain or shine | Stories between bars. Adults only, so a family evening needs the Night Tour; a group of friends needs nothing else. | Book |
| Voodoo, Vampires and Ghostsfrom $25 · rated 4.8 | after darkEvening walk, legendsnightvampire | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Not stated | Broader lore, vampires and voodoo alongside the ghosts. Thin on the trials; pair it with a daytime 1692 walk if you want both. | Book |
| Haunted Footsteps Ghost Tourfrom $25 · rated 4.1 | after darkEvening walk, storiesstories | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Not stated | Quieter streets, mansions and gardens. Less downtown bustle, which also means fewer landmarks; the Night Tour covers more center. | Book |
| Ghosts of Salem Walking Tourfrom $29.99 · rated 4.0 | after darkEvening walk, storiesstories | Starts SalemKids Family-friendly, dark themesRain Rain or shine | Straightforward classic. Route overlaps heavily with the others, so pick it by time slot rather than by content. | Book |
| Ghosts of the Witch City Ultimate Extendedfrom $40 · rated 3.8 | after darkExtended evening walknightlong | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Rain or shine | The longest of the after-dark walks, with props and costume. Long on foot; for tired legs the standard-length Night Tour is the alternative. | Book |
| 1692 Witchcraft Trials Walkour pickfrom $25 · rated 4.2 | on the recordDaylight walk, documentaryhistory | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Rain or shine | Our pick for the record. Names, dates, sites, no costumes. If you want a scare after, add an after-dark walk the same night. | Book |
| Secrets of Salem Hidden History Walking Tourfrom $35 · rated 4.5 | on the recordDaylight walk, side streetshistoryhidden | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Rain or shine | Side streets and lesser-told episodes. Assumes you know the outline; first-timers start with the 1692 Walk. | Book |
| Witch Trial History and Salem Hauntsfrom $29 · rated 4.6 | on the recordWalk, history + hauntingshistorystories | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Not stated | Both halves in one walk. Neither half is as deep as a dedicated tour; fine if you have one slot only. | Book |
| Ultimate Witches and Witchcraft of Salemfrom $35 · rated 3.9 | on the recordDaylight walk, witchcrafthistorywitchcraft | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Rain or shine | Covers the trials and today's practicing community. Less courtroom detail; the 1692 Walk is stricter. | Book |
| Witch Trial Walking Tourfrom $29.99 · rated 4.3 | on the recordDaylight walk, documentaryhistory | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Rain or shine | Compact version of the record. Skips outlying sites; Salem Village walk covers the Danvers side. | Book |
| Salem Witch Tourfrom $80 · rated 4.9 | on the recordDaylight walkhistory | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Not stated | A plain walk of the sites. Nothing wrong, nothing distinctive; the 1692 Walk does the same with more depth. | Book |
| Salem Village Witch Hunt Walking Tourfrom $25 · rated 5.0 | on the recordDaylight walk, Danvershistorydanvers | Starts DanversKids Not statedRain Rain or shine | Starts in Danvers, the Salem Village of 1692, where the accusations began.

| Hocus Pocus Movies & More Walking Tourfrom $25 · rated 3.8 | on screenDaylight walk, several filmsfilm | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Rain or shine | Adds other productions shot in town. Less time per location; the Official tour goes deeper on one film. | Book |
| Witch City Broom Making Workshopfrom $135 · rated 4.9 | not a walkIndoor workshopworkshop | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Indoors | Indoors, hands busy, a broom to take home. Not a tour at all; pair with a walk before or after. | Book |
| Psychic Bewitched Tour With Tarot Readingfrom $140 · rated 5.0 | not a walkWalk + tarot readingpsychic | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Rain or shine | A short walk that ends in a reading. The reading is the point; for the sites themselves take a 1692 walk. | Book |

| Edge of Twilight Dead of Night Ghost Tourfrom $34.75 · rated 4.3 | after darkLate-night walknightlate | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Not stated | Latest start of the set, emptiest streets. Late means cold in October; the pub crawl is the warm late alternative. | Book |
| Specters and Apparitions Ghost Hunting Tourfrom $36 · rated 3.9 | after darkGhost hunt, equipmentnighthunting | Starts SalemKids Not statedRain Not stated | Equipment in hand, a burying ground at night. Slower and quieter than a stories walk; if you want narration, this is not it. | Book |

honest note
Tours that do not start in Salem
7 listings in the catalog start in Boston or Danvers, not in Salem. They are day trips with transport, or a walk of Salem Village where the accusations began. We keep them here because people search for them under Salem, and we say plainly on each card where you will actually be standing when it starts.
