We had an amazing time touring Salem with our guide Jeff! Jeff said he was from Salem and shared lots of fun stories growing up and great facts about Salem and its history. We walked all over Salem and got a lot of good suggestions on what to check out and where to eat. I feel as though you get a lot in the time that you are on the tour and learn a lot! I totally recommend this tour!
We got the scoop directly from a local with amazing personal anecdotes about his town. We’re so glad we explored Salem with this unique tour guide!
Excellent tour guide! He is very knowledgeable and truly cares about Salem. His sense of humor is great too. I would recommend this tour, and honestly wish it was longer (maybe one or two more stops!). You can tell he reallyy cares for Salem. Thanks for great tour!
Jeff was phenomenal. You can tell he is deeply knowledgeable and equally passionate about the history of Salem. A unique tour that sets him apart from the other super “touristy” attractions.
Corey was so great!! We greatly enjoyed the tour!! We have never been to Salem before and we are glad we took this tour!
You really see a large part of the town and the guide is very knowledgeable . He is open to any and all questions and is very personable.
Jeff was amazing! He is a Salem local born and raised with a heap of Salem knowledge. You get such an in depth history on not only the Witch Trials but Salem in general. Recommend going on the tour the first day you visit Salem as Jeff has so many recommendations for restaurants and activities. Recommend this tour 1000/10.
Thorough and well researched information from a lifetime local resident. Came highly recommended and did not disappoint.
Jeff was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining!! Very helpful and courteous as well. My grand daughter wasn’t feeling great and he was so polite- he made sure we saw the highlights so we could get to our train earlier than we planned.
The 1692 2-hour historical tour was excellent. It was led by a local (Jeff) who grew up in Salem. you can tell he has done extensive research on the trials!
Also, It was appropriate for my 10 year old daughter and she also loved getting the whole story! It truly connected the past and present Salem.
Jeff was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and a Salem native. He takes pride in sharing the history of the Witch Trials and the memory of the accused. I highly recommend this tour!
This was a phenomenal tour. I went while on a solo trip and ended up being the only person on the tour. I never felt unsafe. My guide was so knowledgeable and you could tell he wasn’t just regurgitating things, but that he really was excited about what he was sharing. He helped me take really great photos of the tour locations. Highly recommend!
I was only in Salem for a day and there was so much to do/learn that I knew I had to get a tour to get a lay of the town. I booked this and saw that I was the only one for my tour! Jeff was an AMAZING tour guide and provided so much thoughtful information on the historical inaccuracies and included what the actual REAL history was! He was so knowledgeable on everything we talked about and gave so much life to the victims whose lives were cut short due to the hysteria. He is also a resident of Salem so he knows exactly what he’s talking about, living here for all of his life.
This is a tour I would recommend to anyone who wants to get an idea of what Salem was like back in the 17th century. Jeff is the one you’d want to experience this with!
Thanks again Jeff! I appreciated everything :)!
Our tour with Jeff was the highlight of our day in Salem. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of his hometown as well as the Salem Witch Trials. We could’ve never seen and learned as much as we did if we had toured Salem without Jeff. Highly recommend!
A great tour from Jeff who was passionate about Salem and the history of the town. As a solo traveller I felt comfortable on the tour.
This tour was absolutely brilliant! Jeff was so knowledgeable and informed about the local history. While walking around town earlier in the day, we heard and saw several tours led buy guides in costumes, cackling, shouting out “Kill the Witch” and if that is what you are looking for, this likely isn’t the tour for you. Thankfully, this tour exists for those of us who are more interested in learning the history through facts. Salem is steeped in history beyond a singular event and there were reasons for the witch trials. We decided we wanted to explore and learn about the area beyond the haunted houses and torture chambers. Again, nothing wrong with enjoying those things if that’s your style but if you are looking for a serious exploration (with a bit of fun, too) then this tour can’t be beat!
The creator of this tour and the actual tour guide are curators of the history of the Salem Witch Trials IMHO. This tour is the real deal. It blew me away. I felt the passionate, care and investment put into the creation of the material as well as the delivery. My tour was led by Jeremiah. He was really wonderful. In the beginning of the tour there is a good amount of time laying the foundational material prior to the actual events of the Witch trials and how the circumstances of the time set the stage for the hysteria that followed. What an impactful tour given by a tour guide with great investment and integrity. It was SO GOOD. I was so bummed after missing my ghost tour on Halloween and this experience completely erased that disappointment from my mind. The true story of the witch trials is such an important part of history to revisit because there are signs and themes that have consistently repeated particularly in the current climate of our country. I hope that this tour reaches as many people as possible because we never think something this horrific could happen to us but in reality we are closer than we think to repeating history. Stay mindful informed and invested in being on the right side of history. Thank you for an incredible experience.
Our guide was very knowledgeable! Our guide, a native of Salem, knew all the ins and outs of the Salem Witch Trials. Anyone who takes his tour will not be disappointed. Enjoyed it immensely
Jeff was a fabulous tour guide and we really appreciated his knowledge and patience! Highly recommend!
It is very informative!. Jeremiah was very knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend! So much fun!!! Absolutely recommend!

Very informative and entertaining. Saw some areas of Salem and I learned of some events that I wouldn’t have if I hadn’t taken the tour.
Jeremiah was an excellent tour

Our tour guide Jeremiah was great with the history and tales of the witch trails Tour was great had a great time
Very informative tour, our guide was very knowledgeable! Seen all the high points in Salem and learned so much more than I ever knew about the witch trials
Jeff, the owner and native to Salem, shares his love for the town and the history with you as he takes you through the streets on this tour. Enjoyable 2 hours. Thanks!
Our tour guide, Jeff, was amazing. No notes, no prompts. He knew the history and told it in an interesting, thoughtful way. 2 hours packed full of facts, folklore, and stories, including specific details of the people who were called witches. Highly recommended.
Jerimiah was great! Factual, seemed very knowledgeable on the topic. No spooky superstitions here, if you want a real and factual history of Salem this is the tour to book!
Tour was very informative. This tour was very opinionated . Which was okay. Really got to see Salem.
Would recommend
Great guide very knowledgeable of lots of history of witch trials and Salem. I enjoyed hearing his stories of growing up in Salem. He was patient and made sure everyone was able to stay together. I absolutely recommend taking this tour.
