We do recommend that you bring an object worn by the departed to strengthen the soul connection, helping the psychic medium to act as a bridge to the afterlife.

Witch City Broom Making Workshop in Salem

Broom making in Salem!

My daughter and I were lucky enough to experience the broom making! We had so much fun with picking out all the materials and the staff was amazing and very patient with my daughter, even when she changed her mind 100 times on how she wanted to decorate her broom lol!

The Salem Witch Walk

Kerry_G, Apr 2026

A grounded view of witchcraft past and present

This was perfect for us! Even though it was gray and drizzly, the rain let up just in time for our tour. I appreciated how our guide, Will, tied the history of witchcraft in Salem to present day. Everyone’s favorite part was when we got to participate in spell work in the garden! (Bonus: Will told us where all the good bathrooms are, which is clutch for out-of-town visitors!)

Salem's Best Ghost Tour

Skyler_E, Apr 2026

Earn all the brownie points with your travel companions!

We could not recommend the Salem Night Tour enough. Sebastian was our tour guide and he was incredible! He did a great job of humanizing the people he was telling us about so that the history felt alive, which was a perfect compliment to the ghostly stories he shared. He kept it entertaining without sensationalizing, and it is so clear that he genuinely cares about both his tour guests and the historical figures he talked about. If you’re the friend who’s booking the tour for your bachelorette/girls trip/etc., pick this one. Your friends WILL thank you for it!

Mysteries and Murders of Salem Guided Night-Time Walking Tour

Julie_H, Apr 2026

Spine-Chilling Salem Tour Worth Every Step!

We absolutely loved this tour—it was one of the highlights of our time in Salem. If you’re looking for something beyond the usual witch trial history, this is such a great way to experience a different side of the city. The stories of murders, mysteries, and ghost sightings were fascinating, and hearing them while walking through Salem at night made it even more atmospheric and memorable. Our guide was fantastic—engaging, knowledgeable, and a great storyteller. They really brought each location to life and kept the group interested the entire time. It was definitely worth the money, though be prepared for quite a bit of walking. We also appreciated that the tour took us to spots we likely wouldn’t have discovered on our own. It felt unique and a bit more off-the-beaten-path. Definitely recommend for younger and older adults who enjoy a mix of history, mystery, and a little bit of a spooky edge!

Salem "Hocus Pocus" Movie Locations Tour (33rd 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!

Sailing on Historic Schooner Yacht in Salem, MA

Krista_E, Oct 2025

A Splendid Day!

Riding a schooner is a MUST if you come to New England! You can get a tiny feel of what travel was like in colonial days. Being something new to me I was a little nervous about the experience in the beginning, but having the opportunity to help hoist the sail was just what I needed to get my mind off my silly fears. Kos and Kate were such knowledgeable crew ladies and talked to each one of us, pointing out different light houses along the way. My husband and I, both were so very grateful for this unique opportunity.
