5.00Part of this review is going to be in complete because the tour my wife and daughter and I went on might’ve been one of the best tours we ever took. However , we forgot the gentleman’s name!!!The reason it was so great was because our tour guide was spectacular. I believe he was a retired actor, and he just came down to the Salem area specifically for Halloween time. His stories and detail of the witches and the geography in the area was great. He knew all the history, he knew all the witches by name, and he provided amazing detail. We went to the jail where the witches went to jai,we went to the cemetery, where some of the witches were buried, and we took a tour to our tour around town at dusk/ dark. It was unbelievable, riveting. The drawback to the tour is the area is a madhouse on the weekends around Halloween and we went on a Saturday night the week before Halloween. Parking was about 50 bucks but it’s not about the event it’s about the tour and it was great. I’ll never forget it.
