Jobian was an AMAZING tour guide. My partner and I got to see all the sights and learn the dark history behind Salem. He especially made it comfortable to ask any questions during the tour.

Great tour - Chris was a knowledgeable and enjoyable guide and his personal connections to the Salem witch trials made the tour even more interesting. On an absolutely Arctic day we appreciated the one hour length of the tour, enough time to learn a lot but not too long to freeze our toes off. Highly recommend!

First and foremost make sure you dress for the occasion as it can be a chilly tour. Emily was fantastic with her knowledge of the Salem experience. She provided both historical facts, answered any questions from the group, and added just the right amount of humor in either the history to make the tour great very everyone involved. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed the Salem Witch Tour and thought it was a fantastic way to experience the city’s history at night. Misha was an excellent guide—engaging, knowledgeable, and great at bringing the stories of Salem to life with an added great sense of humour. The tour balanced historical facts with local legends well, making it both informative and entertaining. Overall, it was a memorable experience and a great introduction to Salem’s history, especially with such a strong guide leading the tour.

Emily was very knowledgeable and engaging. We are a family of 4 from Australia with very basic knowledge of the witch trials. We know a lot more now! Thank you so much!

Fun tour to get a quick rundown of Salem. Awesome (and tragic) to see where the hysteria unfolded. Allie really loves the town and that shows in her tours. Go to Turner Seafood for the lobster bisque after the tour!! So good! Thanks, Allie!
