The tour was fun and informative. The guide was entertaining and very knowledgeable about local history. We do a lot of ghost tours when we travel as a family and this was one of our favorite.

Our guide was great! He was knowledgeable and answered ALL of our questions (and we had a lot of them). He also provided books, and podcasts if we wanted to continue learning about Salem and the Witch Trials.

I would 100% recommend this tour. Dr. Vitka is not only very knowledgeable and an expert in the field but is also very friendly and accommodating.!!! I can’t emphasize enough - but this tour is definitely worth each and every penny you spend! The knowledge and the stories he shares is amazing!!!! My friend and I had the best time, and it’s very wholesome how he remembers each person on each of his tours and if he sees them again in the city he greets them with absolute kindness!!! Please go support the local business and go on his tours!
