Historically, Salem isn't known for positive outcomes from chatter, but that's just because there's never been a mouth like Lucinda Lipol's to do the job! While in The Witch City, suppress the urge to buy a tour peddling in shudders and gasps. You can just stay home and turn on Fox News for that. Instead, try having an hour of laughs with Lucinda as she wickedly pokes apart the history of Salem and leaves you wondering if the town will put her to the stake before your next visit. Some say she already has quite the flaming nature. Please understand that due to Lucinda's radically limber mouth, this tour is for ADULTS ONLY and proof of age is required.

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.

Great experience

Michael was incredible. We are locals, but we never did any tours. The history of Salem is incredible, and Michael was kind, made sure everyone was there, and made sure everyone was safe.. Here is what I would pay extra money for, maybe a shuttle bus to take us back to down town..

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!

Satanic Salem Walking Tour

Mickel_E, Nov 2025

Satan loves you. Thomas hates you! Hail Satan!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.
