5.00Great 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!
Emily was a fantastic tour guide….

5.00I 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.
Great information and interactive information

5.00Fun 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!
