History and Hauntings of Salem Guided Walking Tour

natashabkr, Jul 2026

A great way to spend an evening in Salem!

I really enjoyed this tour. I was expecting something educational but slightly boring. I was very pleasantly surprised. The tour was FAR from boring. Ty did a wonderful job sharing and humanizing Salem's history while keeping things honest. He was funny, knowledgeable, and very personable.

Sarah bewitched us all with her knowledge and fun!

Sarah is phenomenal!! What a special tour and this was our favorite of all the experiences we had in both Salem and Boston. So informative and yet super fun at the same time. Her historical knowledge made this so engaging and both my teens loved this tour. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone in Salem, Boston or surrounding areas. A must do when traveling to MA :)!

Katie_B, Jun 2026

We had a great time on...

We had a great time on the Salem Mysteries and Murders nighttime tour! We came as a small friend group and this was the perfect way for us to end our evening. Samantha was our guide, and she was very knowledgeable and super fun to engage with. She answered all of our questions and let us pick her brain about Salem history. We felt she was very genuine and we could all tell she really enjoys what she does.

Great way to end day in Salem and travel to Boston.

Beautiful way to travel to Boston. Weather was great, sailboats on the harbor. Listened to music on the dock in Salem waiting for the boat. Saw bad reviews from people buying one way tickets FROM Boston instead of TO Boston. Double check what sailing you’re buying!!! It’s worth it though. Way better than the train after a long day of shopping and sight seeing.

Salem and The Witch Trials

Brad_D, Jun 2026

Salem’s Best - great for historical background.

Jobian was very knowledgeable of the area, how the area had developed over the last 400 years. And geographical layout of the Salem area through that time. This was critical to the understanding of the times during the Salem witch trials. I would love to be on other tours of his, if we visit again. He took us to areas we would not have known to look / cover in our short visit before heading to the airport. We only had about 3hrs to kill in Salem before our flight in the evening out of Boston. It just worked perfectly and the group was small enough we all could be given attention. Very responsive to questions along the way. The questions did not throw him off from his performance. All around very informative and historically based. Even though the area has grown to costume and Halloween flare, the history is important to the development of the area.

Ritika_V, Jun 2026

The best tour experience!!🌟

I would 100% recommend this tour. Dr. Vitka is not only very knowledgeable and an expert in the field but is also very friendly and accommodating.!!! I can’t emphasize enough - but this tour is definitely worth each and every penny you spend! The knowledge and the stories he shares is amazing!!!! My friend and I had the best time, and it’s very wholesome how he remembers each person on each of his tours and if he sees them again in the city he greets them with absolute kindness!!! Please go support the local business and go on his tours!

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!

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!)

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..
