We had a great time, and learned a lot about the history of Salem. Dr. Vitka is a great storyteller, making it easy to listen and absorb the information.

A 90min walking tour of Salems most haunted and infamous places, narrated by a well spoken and informative host. Got to hear some of the great history of the sites with ties to the witch trails and other spooky/ paranormal areas. I’d recommended it.

Was the highlight of our Halloween trip to Salem this year. The tour guide was very funny and had a lot of cool paranormal stories to show and evidence to prove it too. Tour was about an hour to an hour and a half. Definitely worth the price
