City Cruises Salem High Speed Ferry to/from Boston

Monica_J, Aug 2026

Took the ferry back to...

Took the ferry back to Boston from Salem after a long day of walking tours! It was the perfect way to end the day. It was a little cloudy and windy but option to sit in or out was perfect. One of the captains on board came around to visit and answer any questions we had which was nice. Would definitely recommend!

The Official "Hocus Pocus" Movie Locations Tour of Salem

MaryJane_R, Aug 2026

Tish Made Hocus Pocus Come to Life

Our family fully enjoyed our tour with Tish. We are a mixed group from 74 to 7 and she met all our needs. She was friendly and informative and her life experience in the entertainment industry added to the information she was able to provide. This made the tour more enjoyable and was able to provide behind the scenes information about movie production that others who only know about Salem would be able to provide. I would definitely recommend this tour to others, especially with this guide.

Mysteries and Murders of Salem Guided Night-Time Walking Tour

Alliyah_M, Aug 2026

Great Tour

Did the 9:15pm tour on a Saturday night. Got to learn not only about the gruesome past, but also learned the history of places that you walk by normally and not think there was a story to them. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the past and recent history and she was very friendly.

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.

Witch City Broom Making Workshop in Salem

Tracy_D, Aug 2026

Broom making at its best!

This was a wonderfully fun and calm experience. After a week of walking and experiencing a fun vacation in Maine and Salem this class was just what the doctor ordered! The instructor was so pleasant and talked me through every step of the process ensuring my broom was secure and made correctly. The choice of materials gave everyone endless opportunities to make their own unique brooms that reflected their personalities. I came home with something I love that is a happy reminder of my trip and I cannot wait to display it in my home! Highly recommend!!

Bewitched Walking Tour of Salem

Aaron_C, Jul 2026

Extraordinary history and a tour guide up to the challenge. Amazing time.

Super informative. Great experience overall. She was very knowledgeable and made it fun and interesting. Most vital to me. She made it honest and respectful for the dead. She shared the history in a way that helped me realize that some of those attitudes are pervasive still today and there wouldn't be a huge leap to have similar horrors done today. I learned so much and am grateful for having gone. Sarah was amazing.

Salem has a dark past, and haunted history tours are an entertaining—and educational—way to learn about the town’s witch trials and other sinister episodes. Ghost tours abound, from family-friendly to truly spine-chilling, but you can also opt for options that focus more on history than the paranormal, highlight the filming locations of the film Hocus Pocus, lead you to the best city bars on a haunted pub crawl, or let you play witch during a costumed photo shoot. Whether you are looking for a jump scare or a slight startle, Salem tours serve up the right dose of spook.
