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!
Sarah is an amazing tour guide, she was super friendly and happy to answer all the questions we had! My daughter and I learned so much during the walk and we loved every minute of it!
Thank you Sarah!
Our guide was super knowledgeable (had a degree on the history of the area and the witch trials) and an excellent speaker! 10/10 would recommend!
Very in-depth and also fun and light hearted! Our guide was very knowledgeable and we had a great time!
Our tour guide, Sarah, did a wonderful job. We learned so much history surrounding the events that took place. We saw interesting and noteworthy sights. We learned about the dynamics of the town in current times. I really enjoyed it.
Really great! Our guide Sarah was fantastic. Loved the approach to share the history of the town in such a respectful yet fun way.
Well organized, informative and interesting. She kept us interested from stop to stop. The tour was just the right length.
This was a fun way to see Salem and learn about its history of the Salem witch trials. Highly recommend.
This was a fun and highly informative tour. Our guide was well informed and funny. Would highly recommend!
Sarah was awesome! Very knowledgeable and friendly, well-spoken and educational. Highly recommend this tour!
I enjoyed the history plus it was a nice walk on a lovely day. Our guide was nice and very knowledgable.
Very informative and entertaining with a talented historian. Great job by our tour guide. My son and I appreciated it very much and had a lot of fun.
Informative tour with a knowledgeable tour guide. Several historical stops across the city. Glad we went!
Lots of walking for almost 2 hours with multiple stops along the way. Guide very astute at finding the shade
The tour was a great balance of engaging and educational, our kids also enjoyed it and learned a lot. A great way to see multiple sites in the city and learn about its (accurate!) history. Would recommend!
This was a great tour very informative and well researched for accuracy. She offered interesting facts at each site we visited.
Super informative. Great experience overall. She was very knowledgeable and made it fun and interesting. Most vital to me. She made it honest and respectful for the dead. She shared the history in a way that helped me realize that some of those attitudes are pervasive still today and there wouldn't be a huge leap to have similar horrors done today. I learned so much and am grateful for having gone. Sarah was amazing.
This was the best thing we could have ever booked. Our tour guide was so awesome, very informative. Made learning history fun. My son and husband loved it just as much as I did. I will continue to refer her every single time someone says they are going to salem. We talked about what we learned for hours after the tour. She is so knowledgeable and lets you ask questions! You do get to see some of the most popular places in Salem and she talks in detail about them.
Sarah had so much knowledge and gave it in such a great way. She was fabulous. What a great experience
This was so amazing! Loved how our tour guide went back and forth between the past and what is current. She was so knowledgeable! She answered all our questions! We want to come back during fall!
Our guide was great! I had low expectations but I was fantastically surprised! The heat was horrid but our guide stopped in great shaded areas. Thanks for the memories
Sarah is phenomenal!! What a special tour and this was our favorite of all the experiences we had in both Salem and Boston. So informative and yet super fun at the same time. Her historical knowledge made this so engaging and both my teens loved this tour. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone in Salem, Boston or surrounding areas. A must do when traveling to MA :)!
The tour guides are well researched and lovely. It is a lot of walking so make sure to wear good shoes and prepare for all weather.
