It was such an amazing tour! I read reviews before booking and it seemed like it fits our criteria for something factual and historical. We were blown away! Our tour guide Sarah was incredible! With two degrees in History she elaborately brought us through the history of Salem and the massacre, in such captivating way that there wasn’t a single dull moment. Never knew history could be so interesting! Our 18 year-old loved it too. The only disappointing thing was that we took the later tour and needed to go back to Boston right after, so we didn’t get to visit all the places she suggested. We definitely want to and plan to go back!

Sarah did a great job making the history of the events of Salem come alive, while also sharing some humour along the way to lighten heavy parts that are quite sad and tragic. She explains this well at the beginning of the tour also. Sarah was fantastic and I would go on the same tour or any other tour with Sarah again!

Sarah was an awesome and energetic guide! The whole thing was worth the $35 price tag and it was super informative. We really enjoyed the storytelling and knowledge that was shared. Will definitely be back!

The time line of history and the stories of real people involved was shared very well. The knowledge of our tour guide, Sarah, was incredible. She did a great job!

I live locally but took the tour with my sister and her friend who were visiting from NJ. Sarah was our tour guide and she was great! She was not only knowledgeable about the witches but she knew a lot about the history of the area and she had a great mix of serious historical and lighter stories with humor. I highly recommend this tour
