Loved every minute of it! Our guide was filled with so much knowledge and was extremely entertaining. We've done other tours in Salem and this was by far the best!
This tour was great. Our guide was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and he keep my attention. I would recommend this tour and this guide.
I was very disappointed that I paid for this tour and they texted me at 9:00 the night before to tell me that this should not have been offered and was not going to be happening. I still have not received a refund. They canceled not me
Jeffrey Lilley delivered exactly what one should receive regarding this tragic, short-lived history of the Salem Witch Trials. He was extremely knowledgeable, and offered a facts-based version centered around understanding the localized factional conflict that occurred during this time, and the religious, social, economic, and political factors that played into the social consciousness of the early Puritanical colonists. I highly recommend Jeffrey and Salem Uncovered: The Salem Witch Trials Tour!
Jeffery was our guide and he was amazing! He is very knowledgeable and keeps it fun. Our family left with a much better understanding of the Witch Trials and great memories. Definitely recommend this tour!
Excellent, so informative! I'm recommending it to a friend today. It was really interesting and presenter was engaging.
This tour was just okay for us. I was a little bored to be honest. This tour was about the witch trials which I was very interested in, but the tour guide got off topic way too often and I lost interest very quickly. I felt like he talked more about other things instead of the witch trials and Salem in general. Wasn't worth the money spent. Maybe with another tour guide you may have a different experience.
tour guide was knowledgable, friendly, and welcoming. jeffrey was great, such a good experience Loved it!
No frills. Factual. Informative. Professional. .....................................................
Had a wonderful time learning about Salem history. Jeffrey was so knowledgeable and an absolute blast. I really liked how passionate he was about spreading his knowledge
We really enjoyed our tour and tour guild and learned a lot about what happened in Salem during the witch trials.
I would recommend this tour to others.
Awesome, the guide was spectacular and very knowledgeable of of the events and involved the crowd. Highly recommended
Jeffrey was the best tour guide. Passionate and knowledgeable and engaging. He was funny and entertaining but the tour was still honest and he didn't shy away from the darker side of the story.
We bailed during the walk. It was very slow, and the guide was very opinionated with the sites we stopped at.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Im guess that my "opinions" of them targeting minority, disenfranchised, or disabled individuals (being an enslaved woman, an unhoused woman, or a bedridden woman with gout), or how the concept of in-group/out-group and religious extremism played a factor? Maybe?
The tour did not provide info we don’t already know. The tour doesn’t not give access to any buildings. Just a walk thru alleyways. Guide wasn’t engaging with attendees. Just spouting off facts already known if you have ever heard of Salem.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Awwww, a know it all. Please explain to me how the extreme weather conditions and the conflicts between the Puritans and the indigenous peoples, who's land had been stolen played a factor into the Witch Trials. Or maybe how the idea of a "witch" as outlined in the Malius Malicarfum, or King James Demonology coupled with a belief and fear of the belief in devil shapes the Puritans world view.
Also, its a walking tour and in the description of the ticket you bought it says we do hot have access to any buildings.
The tour was very enjoyable, a quick snapshot of Salem, and what I wanted to know in a nutshell. I would recommend it to those that want to know about the Salem witch trials :)
Great historical place. Had a very knowledgeable and funny guide. Beautiful fall weather. Many interesting shops and restaurants.
Great you are great to hear the history of trials and history surrounding them. Very enjoyable. Fun walk.
It's a walking tour, guide was very knowledgeable, interesting, funny and eager to answer any questions!
Great tour. Knew the area, history the good and the bad. Definitely one of the better tours I have been on.
Jeff was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and great sense of humor. Would recommend doing this tour.
Wonderful, informative, knowledgeable and funny. Would recommend to anyone who has a thirst for history and a funny bone on the side.
The guide was very awesome he told us alot about the history and we absolutely loved it I would definitely tell my friends they would enjoy it
He was very knowledgeable and had excellent stories to tell regarding the witch trials. Very handsome as well.:)
It was fun and informative. Learned a lot and our tour guide was very knowledgeable on the witch trials.
Jeffery was amazing, we went from thinking we knew a little about the witch trials to understanding we came in knowing way less than expected. Highly knowledgeable and incredibly nice. We were more than excited to hear about Salem The Podcast and we are hooked!
What an experience !!!! Highly recommended !! Everything was so interesting and we learned a lot ! You made our day and we won’t forget you ! Thanks so much
Great fun especially so close to Halloween. The guide was informative and we learned a lot as well as enjoying the ghost stories.
Great information, kept the group engaged and entertained. The family enjoyed the experience. Would recommend to others
They should stay away from this tourist trap …. Crowds , lack of parking , inability to visit areas , long lines for food …… traffic !
