History Tour of Salem with Tour Guide John

5.00The tour with tour guide John was very informative! I’ve been on history tours before in Salem and I felt like I learned the most history and information on this tour! We went to several different sites including some of my favorite highlights learning about the Charter Street Cemetery, Pickman House, Salem Witch Trials memorial, Old Salem Jail, St. Peter’s Church and other sites and learning the history behind them. The tour didn’t feel rushed, John took his time explaining all the different sites and the history behind them, and overall the tour was very informative and my mom and I truly enjoyed having John as our tour guide!
