This is the best night tour in Salem! I absolutely loved it! The in depth details of each story painted a vivid scene of Salem's dark and mysterious past.

A fantastic tour for anyone who wants to know the gory details and spooky happenings of Salem!

6. The Scarlet Letter(s) Walking Tour

Salem, Salem, Massachusetts Haunted Footsteps & Salem Historical Tours

Upon his death, Salem’s Nathaniel Hawthorne asked his friends and family to destroy all personal letters between them. Some of them complied, but many letters survive to this day, revealing the true nature of one of our greatest American authors. The famous author of The Scarlet Letter (1850) and The House of the Seven Gables (1851) had quite a lot of snarky comments to say about people he encountered. Some of it will shock you, while some of it will make you laugh. Come along on this walking tour/play and witness the life, loves and locations  of Salem's most celebrated author as actors pop up all over the city during your stroll.

Inclusions: Local guide

Exclusions: Hotel pickup and drop-off, Gratuities
