    Our tour guide Diane was very informative and knowledgeable and really brought to life the history and stories of Salem including the witch trials! The locations she took us were beautiful especially Chestnut Street, with its avenue of beautiful historical period buildings! My husband and I would recommend this tour for a 2hr overview of the town!

    The tour was informative and spooky! We went during the off season (beginning of March) so it was a small group. Our tour guide Dean was very funny and attentive. He gave us hand heat pads which were lifesavers! We didn’t expect how cold Salem could be in March!

  • Amazing
