Our tour guide was professional, informative, and helpful. His research and knowledge could not be squeezed in this two hour tour. We were willing to stay in the rain to continue to here the stories. We highly recommend this tour on your trip to Salem if you are interested in the history of the Salem witch trials.

Several years ago I had experienced this tour. It was very memorable and the tour guide was absolutely amazing. We celebrated my birthday in Salem this year and this tour was the highlight!

Tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging. Basically a tour about the witch trials. Nothing really to see. Coolest thing was the "witch house" which is one of the original colonists residences. Just can see from the outside.

Tour guide was not good and seemed to be disconnected to the group. Not patient as one of my parties was slow.
Marilyn_F, Nov 2025
The experience was supposed to last 2 hours, but went 2 and 1/2 hours. Being a bona fide company, it would have been good to have access to a bathroom. There was none. The walk was advertised as being led by a witch, but Jeremiah let us know that he was NOT a witch. There was a lot of time spent standing listening to Jeremiah talk. We stood at the first stop for 21 minutes before moving on. The sidewalk was rough irregular cobblestone, and the tour was at dark. It would have been easy to trip and fall. We are glad we brought flashlights. Our tour guide, Jeremiah, was really knowledgeable about all of the history of the area and we learned a lot. It was awkward at the end when he let us know that he accepts tips in cash or Venmo.

Ann_S, Oct 2025
Jeff was very informative and interesting throughout the entire tour. The tour was well worth the money spent. Tour focused on history of Salem and the witch trials.
Amy_M, Oct 2025
Couldn’t hear him talking.. The entire tour was very boarding. I would recommend you make it a lot more interesting. Overall it just didn’t compare to most other tours.
Kay_K, Oct 2025
The guide was OK. He talked fast and at times I couldn't hear him. I learned some things. At times, I felt that he was giving a sales pitch and gave recommendations for restaurants and places to go. The tour had about 30-40 people and was a bit crowded.
Darlene_Z, Oct 2025
A lot of walking!!!! There was a bathroom opportunity! Took a lot of pictures! A fun interesting night!
Lynette_G, Oct 2025
Great tour! Jeff is super knowledgeable and funny making it entertaining. Would take again and recommend to others
Sylvia_K, Oct 2025
The 1692 tour felt pretty disorganized and overwhelming. There was an overload of information crammed into a short time, making it hard to follow — especially if you’re not already familiar with Salem’s history. The guide spoke very quickly and wasn’t always clear, so a lot of details were lost. There were also a few modern political comments mixed in, which felt unnecessary and out of place for a historical tour. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this one, especially for beginners looking for an easy-to-follow introduction to the Salem witch trials.
cassity_g, Oct 2025
Great tour with local recommendations and tons of political knowledge about the history of witch trials.
Dena_C, Oct 2025
Jeff really knows his history! Learn a lot, and he made it very interesting, he kept your attention and he was funny!
Melissa_K, Oct 2025
Very informative our guide was very knowledgeable about Salem and comfortable to listen to.. I will definitely recommend him in the future.
Kiara_R, Oct 2025
Was a great way to see the history and Jeff was amazing and very knowledgeable. He kept it fun and knew all the details.
Torri_T, Oct 2025
Family of 6 with the youngest being 8. Our guide was great. He did a good job with the pace and keeping everyone together. We appreciated his knowledge and humor. My only wish was a flashlight so he could point things out in the dark. Our group included someone with a dog and someone in a wheelchair and everything went so smoothly.
Jordan_G, Oct 2025
This was a fantastic tour! Our guide was a former teacher so he was a fantastic storyteller and it was very accurately history-heavy.
Bree_H, Oct 2025
Wear walking shoes, don’t talk while he’s talking, SO GOOD!!! If you like history, you’ll love this! True stories!! Definitely recommend!
Great quality, super friendly!
INES_J, Oct 2025
My friends and I had an amazing time despite the rain. Jeff was great! He is very knowledgeable. I would recommend the tour to my friends.
Lorena_C, Oct 2025
Learning about 1400’s in Salem great experience, it took us back in time. The history of the town breathtaking
tiffiny_o, Oct 2025
This covered all area's of Salem and in detail, with a sprinkle of sarcasm! He did a great job of giving his take on the witch trails but also layered in what could of caused the issues and how it all could have been avoided
Tracey_T, Oct 2025
It is definitely more of a historical tour than a ghost tour, however, we went to all the hot spots of Salem and learned a lot. Jeff is very knowledgeable on the history of Salem and the witch trials. You will walk the two hours and he will use very minute to get your moneys worth! It was a great tour!
Erik_M, Oct 2025
Very well educated guide, Jeff was awesome!! I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in history and not ghosts
