Top Salem Walking Tours

Our tour guide was professional, informative, and helpful. His research and knowledge could not be squeezed in this two hour tour. We were willing to stay in the rain to continue to here the stories. We highly recommend this tour on your trip to Salem if you are interested in the history of the Salem witch trials.

This was our first time in Salem and we had an amazing time on our tour with Jobian. He is so knowledgeable and truly knows everything about the history of the witch trials. He delivered the history with empathy and we had an amazing time learning so much about the history in Salem. Thank you so much!!

Sebastian was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and entertaining. We were having a great time. Around the middle of the tour, my mother had a bad fall that required an ambulance call. Sebastian’s compassion and leadership during this experience was incredible. We were truly thankful for his kindness. We would love to come back again once my mother is fully recovered to finish the tour.

We really enjoyed the tour, our guide was very knowledgeable and nice. The tour was a good mix between history and some fun facts and we personally enjoyed the detailed information about Salem‘s history of the witch trials while walking the most important spots.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you want a tour of Salem that’s not-so-brief, brutally honest, and wildly entertaining, this is the one. Thomas and his snack-driven sidekick Satan deliver a mix of history, humor, and unspoken truths that you won’t hear anywhere else. From the very beginning, Thomas had us laughing nonstop while still learning so much. What sets him apart is his professionalism and genuine care—he’s one of the only guides I’ve seen who will actually pick up the phone, call, and wait for guests. Almost 10-15 mins late but he cared enough to call 3 times! He’s observant, keeps safety in mind, and makes sure everyone stays engaged. Even the little details—like reminding us to walk together “like the wildebeest that killed Simba’s dad,” or not staring at lights at night—show how much thought he puts into the experience. It was a chilly night but our tour guide lit the night on fire with his fun facts and weirdness. This off-the-wall tour had us piecing together forgotten tales, like the story of the water wall that once held Salem’s richest port together. It’s quirky, it’s bold, and it’s unforgettable. We are definitely coming back (with snacks for Satan as well) 💀 Tip him, please. He’s worth every dollar. Honestly, I wish I could give this tour 10 pentagrams instead of 5 stars. We had an absolute blast and walked away with both laughs and knowledge. Highly recommended.

What a fun tour!!!!! Our tour guide Hilary really made it the best experience!!!! We had her as our tour guide the day before with the history tour and was thrilled even more when we found out we would have her for the Hocus Pocus tour. If you are a fan of the movie this is a must! You will do a lot of walking! Be prepared, but it’s worth it for sure! Hilary had so much knowledge to share about the film. What’s great is that you can feel the love she had for this movie and that made you appreciate it so much more. Hilary also made sure you got enough photos from each location! I myself will look at the movie so differently going forward! If you are a Hocus Pocus fan…… don’t miss this one!!

Dr. Vitka knew his history, gave us personal experience stories, and showed true class when drunken bystanders tried to ruin our tour. We had 2 other tour guides, and 2 locals walk by and rant about how we have THE BEST tour guide in town. He seems to have a great reputation with the locals and they showed much respect for him!

Some of the building colors are different as owners changed perhaps , but new paint is not always the color noted. Also if doing with a partner, using the same account and sharing earbuds might eliminate variables heard by each individual, hubby would pause his whole walking and I kept mine going so we would have to wait up or catch up at some locations. My suggestion is if using two accounts, decide in advance to walk while it plays the whole time.
