This tour was awesome! We had Daniel as our tour guide. A great mix of witch lore & other Salem history such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, the Peabody sisters, and National Guard

Jeremiah was our guide for this "history of Salem" tour. I learned so much! Great experience. Highly recommend. Started on time and It ran 20min over time.

It was extremely noisy, I could barely hear the tour guide. Guide had no energy. I have been on 4 different Salem tours over the last 4 years. This was by far the most boring tour that I have been on. It was so bad that we left in the middle of the tour.

There was confusion on where we should meet but our tour guide, Dan tracked us down in the rain & gave us a great tour!

This is a great historical tour. We did this tour in October and obviously, Salem was busy. The guide was great, he was easy to hear even with all the noise and people. We had a very informative history of the witch trials and other Salem history.

Our guide was very easy to hear and well versed on the history of Salem. Loved the history without all the witchy hype. All was historically based and I left feeling like I took a course on Salem. It was excellent!!!!!

Excellent tour! Our guide Dan, was phenomenal. We took 2 kids and they enjoyed learning the hidden stories about Salem.
I’ve lived in the North Shore my entire life and often visit Salem. I had NO idea how much I didn’t know.
We will be back for more tours, thank you for the fun adventure back in time.
