    Mixed Reviews

    We enjoyed our tour with Samantha. She was entertaining and the tour was lovely. Unfortunately, many of the stops did not occur such as the hotel and the mansion, and there were only a few superstition stories told. It was different than described in the booking.

We are so happy to hear that you had a wonderful time on the Spirits & Superstitions Friday the 13th Tour of Salem with Samantha ! She definitely makes the tour spooky and fascinating.

    Spirits and Superstitions A Friday the 13th Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salem.

    How much does Spirits and Superstitions A Friday the 13th Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $48 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salem usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Spirits and Superstitions A Friday the 13th Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Salem is not rushed.

    Is Spirits and Superstitions A Friday the 13th Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Salem, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Spirits and Superstitions A Friday the 13th Tour?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Spirits and Superstitions A Friday the 13th Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Spirits and Superstitions A Friday the 13th Tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Salem can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Salem and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Spirits and Superstitions A Friday the 13th Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Salem within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Salem?

    +

    Salem runs witch trial history tours, ghost and cemetery walks, museum entries and harbour trips, with October turning the whole town into a month-long event. On Outty we rank every Salem experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Satanic Salem Walking Tour, Salem Voodoo, Vampires, and Ghosts Guided Walking Tour, Bewitched Walking Tour of Salem. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Salem?

    +

    September to October for atmosphere, May to June for smaller crowds. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Salem?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Spirits and Superstitions A Friday the 13th Tour?

    +

    Included: Licensed Tour Guide. Not included: Gratuity not included. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Spirits and Superstitions A Friday the 13th Tour?

    +

    +
