Top Salem Walking Tours

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

Sarah was an amazing tour guide. Two hours sounds like a lot, but the time flies by fast and there’s so much to learn we could have gone longer. We learned all about the witch trials and how Salem became a Halloween destination. Can’t recommend it enough.

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!!

Excellent tour. We learned a lot about Salem’s history. But I will say the guy at the desk was a bit grumpy when we checked in. Yelling out I don’t care if you bought your tickets online, don’t put your phone in my face. How about letting people know nicely that all you need for check in is your name? Very rough way to handle the check in process.

Support this small business! There are 80+ tours to choose from in Salem and this is an AWESOME choice. Great fun bits of info and perfect amount of creepy, scary, and gorey. Tour title sums it up perfectly. Walk was easy for us. Learned some great stuff and felt like our guide was super respectful and appreciative of the history of the Salem Witch Trials unlike other bigger tours I’ve been on. He tied together centuries old and modern history so well. I mentioned to Mike I was a descendant of one of the victims and he made sure to add an extra bit of info about her when it was relevant. Loved that!

We loved this walking tour with Allie. We wanted the actual history of the witch trials and she fulfilled our need. Be aware, the historic city of the witch trials all but burned down and there are no buildings or outdoor artifacts left from that era. She took us to the physical locations but your imagination was needed to visualize what was going on. Thankfully Ali is a wonderful narrator and makes that era come to life!

Tom and Sara were both excellent. My wife and I were the only ones on both tours so the 1st two were combined. Both guides were well versed on the area history and did a wonderful job in their storytelling. I have to say it would be nice if Annie retires to Florida to slow the traffic on I-4. LOL Definitely recommend this tour for both the history, witch and ghost peeps.

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.
