What are people saying about Salem

History and Hauntings of Salem Guided Walking Tour

Terence_W, Apr 2026

Great tour for our big kids

Ryan gives a great tour! He strikes a balance between humor, empathy, history, and spookiness that we really appreciated. There are many angles to take with a tour like that, and we thought he did a great job of giving the lessons we don’t want to repeat, as well as recognizing the struggles of those involved, instead of sensationalizing them for more effect/exploitation. He answered every one of our questions thoughtfully. The kids are 10, 11, and 14. Fun was had by all!

Wicked Awesome Tours: Witch Trial History and Salem Haunts!

Madison_V, Mar 2026

The tour locations were...

The tour locations were great, and Alina was very friendly. She was helpful getting us out of the rain. My only complaint is that there was a lot of advertising for other tours and activities, and I would’ve preferred spending that time talking about history. Otherwise, it was a very good experience.

Salem and The Witch Trials

Phil_M, Feb 2026

Awesome tour and insightful history!

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!!

Fantastic, entertaining, and informative

Mike was a phenomenal tour guide. He was funny, knowledgeable, and engaging. I have taken a few Salem tours and I learned so many things from him. He gives information about the Salem Witch trials that no other tour gives. Long story short, this tour is worth it.

Salem "Hocus Pocus" Movie Locations Tour (31st Anniversary)

Jennifer_F, Nov 2025

Fun and Informative

We had such a great time on the Hocus Pocus Tour in Salem! Michael was very informative and made the experience even better with all of his movie references, it really brought the magic to life. A few tips for future visitors: when they say it’s a walking tour with no bathrooms, they mean it; plan accordingly! You’ll see all of the filming sites from the outside, and if you’d like to go inside some of them, you can pay separately to visit after the tour. Also, note that the tour doesn’t end where it starts, so you’ll need to find your own transportation back to your car. We recommend using the Salem Skipper, it was quick and convenient and less expensive than Uber. Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience, especially for Hocus Pocus fans!

Witch Costume Photo Shoot - Olde Salem Village theatrical set

Vanessa_J, Nov 2025

Highlight of our Day in Salem!

This was so fun! They let us choose which costumes to wear, and had a wide variety of costumes to choose from. The photo set and backdrops were cool and we liked using the props. Our photographer was creative and patient with our group. This was the highlight of our day in Salem!
