What are people saying about Salem

Lynee_G, Sep 2026

Megan is simply the best!

Megan was more than I could have ever imagined. She is the best story teller, she speaks loud which is perfect for the busy environment and large crowds everywhere. Her voice and the way she tells her stories keeps you engaged. I really appreciated how she presented all the information and you can tell she’s local as she knows all the history. She was extremely thoughtful with pointing out bathrooms and taking us to places where we could have a little space away from the crowds. It was our first time to Salem and she really made me feel like I got to see and know all the important parts to Salem. Me and my family had a wonderful experience, worth every penny. She was also prompt and on time. Thank you Megan for being your genuine self and for your amazing voice!

The Official "Hocus Pocus" Movie Locations Tour of Salem

Adrianna_B, Sep 2026

Great way to see Salem!

Such a fun way to see Salem! Our daughter is a huge Hocus Pocus fan. Adam was so enthusiastic about the movie and the locations and he made it so fun for us! And we loved our little party favors. We liked that this tour took us outside of the main area so that we could experience the outskirts. The starting point in the park is probably the prettiest location Salem.

Joe_Z, Sep 2026

Amazing tour!

This tour gave us a great overview of the history of Salem and it's infamous past. Sarah, our tour guide gave us an informative and entertaining glimpse into the witch trials from how they started to what finally brought an end to this heinous chapter in Salem history. She clearly weaved in pop culture references and described how Salem has evolved into the Halloween mecca it is today. We loved this tour!

Kenny_T, Sep 2026

Definitely plan to do at...

Definitely plan to do at night (extra spooky). Wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring water/snacks. The stories you will hear are true and give you a sense of what makes this place so unique. When they tell you to take photos, take the photos! You might see something you have never seen before. Danielle was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the history.

Salem Voodoo, Vampires, and Ghosts Guided Walking Tour

Michael_B, Sep 2026

The best for factual historical sites and information I would have never known.

This tour was exceptional. The tour guide owner of the company actually gives the tour and not like so many tours who use the tour "guide of the day". He is extremely knowledgable and his presentation is excellent. Lots of very interesting sites which included historical and factual information on Voodoo, Vampires, and Witches. I have hearing issues but not with this tour. His delivery projected his voice and made him very easy to hear.

Faces & Places Beyond the Brews

Had an awesome time with Jen and our small group. It was an intimate tour, and it felt like old friends sitting around telling spooky ghost stories. Though we had to leave early to catch our train, we were bummed to miss the last spot. Had lots of laughs, and shared lots of memories (and brews)!

Wicked Awesome Tours: Witch Trial History and Salem Haunts!

Allison_P, Aug 2026

Witchy Walking Tour

This is an informative and fun walking tour around the main streets of Salem. Walking surfaces are uneven so good walking shoes recommended. It’s a decent amount of time to get in the historical facts and still have time to enjoy the local shops & restaurants. Chris was a great tour guide that shared the history and more recent facts about his hometown. He welcomed questions and friendly dialogue along the way.

This was a great find! ...

This was a great find! The tour is set to talk while you walk and it knows where you are. I travel alone a lot and usually for just a day or two to look around and this is perfect as there is no official start or end and you can listen at any time, even if you are just doing a virtual version of the tour.

Salem Witch Trials, Ghosts and History Walking Tour

EMILY_S, Jul 2026

Book for April!

Our tour guide, April, did an amazing job! She was very knowledgeable about the town and pointed out little things most people would miss. My friend and I ended up being the only ones on the tour due to others last minute cancellation. She still took the time to explain everything in detail. Very happy to have booked this experience!

Our tour guide John was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Salem and provided us with so much information I don’t think we would have learned anywhere else on our trip. We were very impressed and felt welcomed on the tour. John definitely exceeded our expectations for a ghost tour of Salem-you will not be disappointed!

Salem Uncovered: Dark Stories of Salem Tour

Genesis_A, Oct 2025

Amazing Experience on the Salem Uncovered Tour!

As a longtime Salem: The Podcast listener, I was so excited to finally experience the Salem Uncovered Tour in person — and it absolutely exceeded my expectations! When I arrived, I was greeted by Tim, who happens to be Jeffrey’s brother. I mentioned that I was a little sad not to have Jeffrey as my guide since I’m such a fan of the podcast, and Tim kindly told me he’d do his best to make sure I met him. Tim was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging throughout the entire tour, sharing dark and fascinating stories about Salem’s history. As we were walking we actually ran into Jeffrey, and Tim made a point to turn us around so I could officially meet him and even ask a question! I was thrilled — and got a quick photo, too! I’m so grateful to both Tim and Jeffrey for going above and beyond to make this experience special. I went with two friends who aren’t podcast listeners (yet), and they loved the tour so much that they said it was their favorite part of our trip — and now they want to start listening to Salem: The Podcast! Overall, I can’t recommend this tour enough. Whether you’re a fan of the podcast or just interested in Salem’s darker history, this is a must-do experience!
