Black Cat Tours

About

Black Cat Tours offers daytime historical walking tours and nighttime ghost tours in Salem, built around true stories from the city’s past. Day tours cover Salem’s history in full, with a focus on accuracy, and include a combined walking and boat tour that the company says is the only one of its kind in Salem. Evening ghost tours explore the city’s haunted past, which the company bills as an eerie experience unlike any other.

The tours have been voted onto USA Today’s list of the 10 best ghost tours in the United States in multiple years. Tickets can be bought online or in person at the Black Cat Curiosity Shoppe, the company’s shop in downtown Salem. Guides put the guest experience first, and the company welcomes requests for private tours, school groups and specific dates when given enough notice.

  • Private tours cannot be booked on weekend nights in October.
