This fascinating tour will go deeper into the trials than most others. You will hear personal stories of the accused, why some of them got accused and the reasons why people testified against them. It was a combination of motives and each person's story is different. We will use a combination of story telling, pictures and maps to paint the truest picture of what was really going on during the infamous Salem Witchcraft Trials. Discover the somber and harrowing events that occurred before, during and after the trials on this walking tour in Salem.

Our public walking tours can pose challenges for participants with mobility and accessibility concerns. Tours are 90 minutes long and about one mile in length. Each participant must be able to complete the one-mile tour within 90 minutes, providing for frequent stops to view sites and for information from the tour guide. As Salem is a historical city, there are narrow and uneven sidewalks, bricks, cobblestones, and stairs. During events and festivals (and particularly October), with crowds and street vendors, the streets can become difficult to navigate.

Traffic and parking can be very difficult and October is much worse with "" trafLA Levelfic. Give yourself extra time to get here and park no matter what your GPS is telling you.

    This tour was a lot of standing around and talking and not sightseeing some of the places on the tour we didn’t even see. It was very repetitious.

    We ended up leaving before the tour was over. The guide was not that great at all. She kept talking about her pregnancy and giving the excuse for forgetting things on the pregnancy. We booked the tour to hear about the history, not her personal life.
