This was a wonderful tour. Sarah did an excellent job balancing history with pop culture and modern information. She kept things authentic but made sure we ended the tour on a happy note. There are several “tough” topics, but it was very informative and overall enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an accurate, historical tour.
Phenomenal tour. Very informative. Enjoyed the experience and the guides interaction with the guests. Would highly recommend.
Well worth it! Sarah was so knowledgeable about Salem’s Witch trials. Very impressive and a great tour.
Sara, was an incredibly knowledgeable tour guide for this. Shred detailed stories along with humor and levity. Definitely need to take this tour if you’re in town.
It was fun, informational and entertaining! A great way to start our weekend in Salem. We would highly recommend.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and interesting!! She weaved an amazingly detailed history of the Salem witch trials and other Salem history! Not a hard walk and worth every minute and dollar!
Sarah did an amazing job with the tour. She was engaging and interesting without being over the top. It was longer than some tours but it didn’t feel like it. I was engaged the whole time and the walk was easy.
The tour was very informative and our guide was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and her speaking voice was excellent. I loved hearing the history of Salem and the witch trials. I would recommend this tour to all.
Awesome tour! The tour guide was amazing and the tour was very informative, but also fun. I couldn't believe that we were walking around for 2 hours when we had finished. Would highly recommend!
Sarah was incredible! So knowledgeable and just the right amount of humor! I was fascinated with the story of Salem, a dim glad she told all aspects! Loved it!
It’s an outside tour, so many tours go on at the same time that it gets a bit overwhelming. I wish you could go inside on of the places
Advertise that there is walking but that it is easy walking flat and no hills and places to rest and sit along the way. I have a back issue and I was a little concerned that I would not be able to keep up or last for the whole trip , but I was happy to say that I found places to rest along the way and able to tolerate the tour very well!!
This tour gave us a great overview of the history of Salem and it's infamous past. Sarah, our tour guide gave us an informative and entertaining glimpse into the witch trials from how they started to what finally brought an end to this heinous chapter in Salem history. She clearly weaved in pop culture references and described how Salem has evolved into the Halloween mecca it is today. We loved this tour!
10/10 tour. Super interesting & passionate guide. The tour was the perfect length, not too long with just the right amount of information. Thanks so much!
Very entertaining & educational tour about the Salem Witch trials, pop culture, and Salem's spookier side!
Sarah was an amazing guide! She is very knowledgeable and informative. Me and my husband have a tradition where we do some kind of ghost/witch tour on every vacation we go on and this was the best one we’ve been on this far!
Outstanding history lesson with current events woven in. Sarah was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic!
Sara was fantastic! Very engaging and informative. I absolutely recommend this tour for anyone interested in the real history of the witch trials.
Sara made the trip amazing. Even paced with enough shade to please the group and loads of interesting tidbits about the town. The dash of theatrics thrown in calling out the other witches was fully enjoyed and made us feel more emerged in the experience. It was thoroughly executed, down to the cadence in her voice that was made for storytelling. All around great time.
The tour guide is very knowledgeable. The tour was so interesting and informative. Really enjoyed it.
Such a great tour! We learned so much, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. It was interesting from start to finish and such a fun way to learn more about the area and its history. Highly recommend!
