Our tour guide Samantha was amazing! We have done many tours in various places and this one was easily one of our top favorites and we highly recommend. This tour I would recommend for all who visit Salem (except kids under 13) who want more then just the witch trial stories or tales that have been told over and over. We learned some interesting facts and added some local knowledge to our brain vaults. Again, highly recommend.
