It was a combination of motives and each person's story is different. We will use a combination of story telling, pictures and maps to paint the truest picture of what was really going on during the infamous Salem Witchcraft Trials. Discover the somber and harrowing events that occurred before, during and after the trials on this walking tour in Salem.

Our public walking tours can pose challenges for participants with mobility and accessibility concerns. Tours are 90 minutes long and about one mile in length. Each participant must be able to complete the one-mile tour within 90 minutes, providing for frequent stops to view sites and for information from the tour guide. As Salem is a historical city, there are narrow and uneven sidewalks, bricks, cobblestones, and stairs. During events and festivals (and particularly October), with crowds and street vendors, the streets can become difficult to navigate.
Traffic and parking can be very difficult and October is much worse with "" trafLA Levelfic. Give yourself extra time to get here and park no matter what your GPS is telling you.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

I went into the tour with little to no knowledge about the Salem Witch Trials and it was a very interesting and informative tour! It’s 90 minutes so it’s quick but covers A LOT in that time! Our guide also told us about other local memorial sites and information about the town which was amazing!

This tour was beyond boring that I left halfway through. You can experience Salem for free by following the yellow trail. Don’t waste your time and brain cells listening to nothing new.

Our tour guide was a very knowledgeable historian who talked of the real history of the witch trials vs what are myths.
