Salem Black Cat Tours

Did this tour on Halloween night and it was great! Our tour guide did a great job considering the HUGH crowds that night. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Salem. We enjoyed how funny and witty he was. I would definitely recommend this tour

I had never done an after-​dark tour of Salem, and this one was definitely worth it. There were only 4 of us in the group, which made it that much more personalized. Daniel was knowledgeable and very receptive of questions. Tons of fun!

Had a great time on the tour Lara was very knowledgable. It was freezing out and she didn’t skip a beat. Lara knows her stuff. I wish that the meeting spot was clearer to find. But asking even
Other tour companies they knew right where to send you. I highly recommend Black Cat Tours.

I want to give this tour so much more than 5 stars! But I suppose it will have to do.
Let me start by stating that I have done several different ghost tours in Salem. Some disappointing, while other were VERY disappointing. I have taken some that were just make believe stories told to keep the audience entertained. While we did other tours that were the complete opposite and were purely fact which is good but no fun.
This night we showed up to a rather large group which is always nice. We didn’t know what we were in for and since we’ve been burned in the past. We were pleased to see our guide Daniel, Was dressed in period clothing (not cheesey, but not over the top) and spoke loud and clear. He was very accurate when he spoke of the history but also drew you in while recounting the legends that occurred here in salem.
Now I will admit I didn’t expect to hear any new info on this tour. I mean haven’t I heard it all? Somehow he managed to surprise me with (new to me) tales of famous pirates and streets that once carried the accused witches to the courthouse. I was thrilled to learn so many STUDIED and FACTUAL tales. I mean any one could say «this spot is haunted» or «so and so died here», but he only tells tales of events that did indeed impact or effect Salem.
One of the best parts in that I captured a picture of a fricken ghost! before taking it he said where the ghost was usually seen so i took a picture of the window and BOOM there it was! so cool!
We got a good tour of Salem and the pace is perfect for young and old. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour! Don’t be fooled by some of the bigger names in the ghost tour business around here. Some have become lazy and complacent. Do yourself, your friends, or your family a favor and book your tour here!

Enjoyed this tour as there were only 3 of us plus the guide. Found it very engaging and they guide was passionate about haunted Salem. Felt sorry for him as it was bucketing down and there was a ton a thunder and lighting all night long but it set the scene :) In regards to history and the paranormal I found he relaid it about ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ so if you are wanting to go on a tour purely history or purely paranormal find a different one but I thoroughly enjoyed it as I like both.

We experienced Salem after dark through the enthralling storytelling of our tour guide, Daniel. He was fantastic! Not only were his tales accurately conveyed, providing us with a history lesson, but his narratives were chilling and spooky. He is a captivating, funny theatrical storyteller. We followed him through Salem as he took us back through time to when witch hysteria was ran rampant. This is the only tour we did in Salem and it was definitely worth the driver from RI.
We passed other tours and their guides were using microphones and bullhorns. The loud AV noises really took away from the mysterious of the tour. I love that Black Cat Tours stays true to storytelling by NOT using AV devices. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to hear Daniel just fine!
The tour — advertised as an hour long — was TWO hours long. We definitely got our money’s worth! Customer service — EXCELLENT!
Be sure to use the restroom BEFORE the tour. No restroom breaks.
