This was such a fun tour throughout an amazing town. I really liked how so much of Salem history was covered, not just the witch trials. Diane was such a great tour guide and she told the stories of Salem with such confidence. I’m a big history buff and there were so many things about Salem and the witch trials that I didn’t know before this tour. I will 100% recommend this tour to friends going to Salem in the future.

We booked the tour only two hours in advance - that worked perfectly. When we arrived at the meeting spot it turned put that it would just be our guide Heidi, my friend and I. We had an amazing time with Heidi. She told us a lot about the history of Salem as well as some ghost stories. She also answered all our questions and you could see how interested she was herself and how much she enjoyed the tour as well. We loved it and would recommend it to anybody :)
