5.00We had such a fantastic experience on the Salem tour! Our guide, Jobian, was an incredibly engaging storyteller with a remarkable depth of historical knowledge. He wove together the city’s rich history, the culture of the region, and the legacy of the Witch Trials in a way that was both captivating and easy to follow. What stood out most was his genuine empathy for the people who were so deeply and negatively affected by the Witch Trials. He spoke about their experiences with respect and sensitivity, reminding us that behind the history were real individuals and families whose lives were forever changed. I loved that the tour didn’t just focus on the well-known stories, but also offered deeper context that made the events and people of that time feel real and human. The pacing was perfect, the information was engaging, and I walked away with a much richer understanding of Salem’s past—far beyond the usual spooky folklore. Whether you’re a history buff or just curious about the area, I highly recommend this tour. It was informative, empathetic, and a truly memorable way to explore such a fascinating city.

5.00This is a very informative historical tour. Our guide was vey informative and interesting. He really know his history and is a great speaker. We liked this tour better than the other ones. Just know that all of the witch tours are basically the same. Some are just based more on fun than actual facts. This tour is definitely fact based but overall it was great.
