3.00This tour was just okay for us. I was a little bored to be honest. This tour was about the witch trials which I was very interested in, but the tour guide got off topic way too often and I lost interest very quickly. I felt like he talked more about other things instead of the witch trials and Salem in general. Wasn't worth the money spent. Maybe with another tour guide you may have a different experience.
Experience of a lifetime!! If you are in Salem this is a must!

5.00This is an amazing experience that is informative on so many levels. Jeffrey was our guide and he was a spectacular guide and he not only imparted an enormous amount of lore and knowledge regarding the witch trials but also did an amazing job of leaving us with an emotional investment into the trials and the people involved. Highlight of our visit to Salem. On a side note Jeffrey is an amazing speaker/entertainer so would definitely suggest any other tour that he hosted. Thanks for a blast!

5.00Jeffrey was the best tour guide. Passionate and knowledgeable and engaging. He was funny and entertaining but the tour was still honest and he didn't shy away from the darker side of the story.
