5.00The tour we went on was awesome! I live in Salem and love history and I still learned so much. My six year old sister and my grandmother loved it too. She shared cool Salem artifacts along the tour and told about Salem in a way that was interesting for all of us. I would recommend this tour for people who live in Salem and people visiting Salem. I am definitely going on another one of these kids tours. Caleb and Delia
Wonderful tour during April vacation!

5.00My family and I had a wonderful time on Alicia's walking tour of Salem. We were there during April break so the crowds weren't too crazy. I have a 10-year-old and 8-year-old, both of whom are very enthusiastic and curious. Alicia did a wonderful job of fielding their questions without detracting from her tour (a big risk with my younger child!). Alicia was knowledgeable and told us many amazing stories about Salem. If we go back, I would definitely sign up for one of the spooky ghost tours. Thanks, Alicia!
Awesome experience!

5.00I took my three kids - aged 8, 6, and 4, for this walking tour and we loved it! Alicia is a fantastic & engaging story teller. I appreciated how she touched on many different eras of Salem's history, but had common threads to tie the stories together. We all had a great time and learned a lot!
Fun, interactive walking tour!

5.00We had a wonderful time! We have a kindergartener, 3rd grader and 5th grader. Her tour was perfect, she balanced the ages well (there were younger children in the group in addition to ours). She was very knowledgeable and handled interruptions well. My 5th grader thought it was very cool that she was a 6th grade teacher. The tour was great for kids and adults alike- the distance was not far to walk but we got to see some really great sights in Salem! I only wish we did the tour earlier in the day so we had time to visit sites she pointed out afterwards.
Amazing tour guide for kids! Don't hesitate!

5.00We took our 5 year old twins and had no idea how to approach telling them about Salem's history. This tour was the perfect answer! She made all of the history, from scary to strange, understandable to the kids in really fun ways. I can't recommend this enough! We booked a private tour because our daughter uses a wheelchair and we needed some extra time to get around, well worth the extra cost!
An experience you won’t regret!

5.00When in Salem with young children, you won’t regret doing this. Tailored to ages 5-12, this one-hour walking tour was just right for our kiddos, ages 6 and 9. The tour was enjoyed by the whole family and Alicia is the perfect person for the job! Highly recommend!

5.00Alicia is a wonderful guide! Her experience as an educator directly translates to her ability to keep children entertained and engaged. The one hour tour explains how Salem became famous for Witchcraft. You will explore various landmarks and how the city has changed over time.
Just what we were hoping for!

5.00Tour guide clearly had experience talking with kids. Stories were entertaining, and as parents we learned some things too. Turns out there's more to Salem history than just the witch trials. Tour lasted about 70-75 minutes and was well worth it.
