What are people saying about Salem

History and Hauntings of Salem Guided Walking Tour

Victoria_C, Oct 2026

Money well spent

Our guide Michael and his partner in crime Clarence the cat were incredible. Michael was so personable and really got into character while telling us the history of Salem and its historic sites. He really connected with the group by his story telling abilities and kept us interested the entire way. This tour was great to really understand what happened leading up to the witch trials, what really happened in 1692 and the following years afterwards.

Witch City Broom Making Workshop in Salem

Victoria_C, Oct 2026

A must do tour!

This is a very personal experience. Our guide Stacy was extremely helpful and was willing to step in and make sure everything was running smoothly. She explained to us what all the spiritual meanings behind each item were and helped us crafted our version of the perfect broom. Her partner Lara worked with a different table but was also willing to answer any questions that we had. They were both so patient with me being indecisive and reassured me that whatever I chose would make a beautiful broom! This is an incredible experience if you’re looking for a small break from the busy streets of Salem!

His passion for Salem, its history, and the movie Hocus Pocus really made the tour special. He shared so many interesting facts, behind-the-scenes details, and fun stories that kept everyone engaged the entire time. We got to see iconic filming locations while learning things we never would have known otherwise. Ryan truly went above and beyond to make the experience memorable.

Sailing on Historic Schooner Yacht in Salem, MA

Dream come true!!!

Not only was the crew knowledgeable, kind and friendly. But they made the entire experience safe light-hearted. There was stories of sailing and education on the sales and the beams. Comfortable mats to sit on beverages snacks. I couldn't have thought of a single thing to add to it to make it better.

City Cruises Salem High Speed Ferry to/from Boston

Helen_C, Oct 2026

Scenic route to Salem

Scenic route to Salem. beauty all the way to Salem and tour guide kept it very informative. I made the mistake of scheduling House of Seven Gables so close to our arrival time. we missed 15 min of the tour. This was my mistake. House of 7gables was kind enough to still allow us in and got us to our group. My point have a time buffer plus walking distance time if you do schedule a Salem tour. Other than my mistake, it the ferry was a great experience and everything I thought it would be.

If you're going to do one tour, do this one. The tour itself is long, delicious, and so well paced. You get to taste drinks at each different bar/pub, and each stop comes with a haunting story that makes the drink taste even better. Such a brilliant concept.

We enjoyed this tour!

The tour was very interesting and well done. April was a very engaging and knowledgeable host, who is a local person with a long family history in the area. She took us to many sites and gave us a fuller picture of Salem’s amazing history. She answered all of our questions and made it fun. I went with my ten year old grandchild who really enjoyed all of the stories the way April told them.

Salem Uncovered: The Salem Witch Trials Tour

Anthony_O, June 2026

Salem Uncovered: The Salem Witch Trials Tour with Jeffrey Lilley

Jeffrey Lilley delivered exactly what one should receive regarding this tragic, short-lived history of the Salem Witch Trials. He was extremely knowledgeable, and offered a facts-based version centered around understanding the localized factional conflict that occurred during this time, and the religious, social, economic, and political factors that played into the social consciousness of the early Puritanical colonists. I highly recommend Jeffrey and Salem Uncovered: The Salem Witch Trials Tour!
