Mike was a phenomenal tour guide. He was funny, knowledgeable, and engaging. I have taken a few Salem tours and I learned so many things from him. He gives information about the Salem Witch trials that no other tour gives. Long story short, this tour is worth it.

Absolutely phenomenal tour! Dr. Vitka is a plethora of knowledge; and his passion for Salem is evident in every word he speaks. I found myself wanting to stay longer just to hear him speak more on the subject matter at hand! He was wonderful with our group, and encouraged questions. I would recommend this tour to every person visiting Salem!
