    Not the best

    Sarah_D, Nov 2025
    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.

    jeffrey tour guide great

    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

    Great tour guild.

    Olivia_L, Nov 2025
    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.

    Matthew_K, Nov 2025
    Awesome, the guide was spectacular and very knowledgeable of of the events and involved the crowd. Highly recommended

    Jeffrey was the best tour...

    Morgan_S, Nov 2025
    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.

    It was OK

    Lynnette_L, Nov 2025
    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?

    Disappointed

    Margie_E, Nov 2025
    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.

    Witty and informational!

    Carmen_V, Nov 2025
    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 :)

    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!
