Dr. Vitka was great! You can tell he loves what he does and takes his craft seriously, And that is exactly who you want to be giving you a ghost/paranormal tour of Salem. He was kind enough to hang around at the end to answer our many questions. We loved getting his take on the darker side of Salem’s history and present day and had great insider suggestions of other things we should do during our stay. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour, I would recommend it to everyone!! Very entertaining, very good storyteller (even my boyfriend and I got a little bit scared) and an amazing job of sharing well-researched historical facts.

Michael was very nice and entertaining. Definitely one of the best tours I've been on. We started at the bell and circled around to a variety of haunted places. Learned about the witch trials, but also ghosts and vampire lore. There was a section on serial killers as well.

This is a great tour.

Mike, the guide, does an amazing job of sharing well-researched historical facts and some of the more... "supernatural"... history of Salem. He does this in an incredibly intelligent, credible, and fun way. Never boring, never so far-fetched as to be absurd, he does a brilliant job of weaving all the hysteria of the witch trials, the spookiness of their aftermath, and the moderne-day impact of those events.

Part entertainer, part historian, all knowledgeable, Spellbound's tour of Salem is an incredible way to spend an evening learning a tremendous amount in a short time.

Highly recommended!

It was amazing hearing about the many alleged ghost sightings that Salem had to offer, as well as some incite into Voodoo/Hoodoo, the vampires part actually surprised me by the recounting of a story the guide told. Definitely worth a second trip

Michael is an excellent guy. He has this voice that encapsulates you into the whole experience. Very informative. I especially liked the Houdini story. Would definitely go again. Even though the city is crowded, that’s to be expected, he was patient with waiting to let the others catch up.
