Fantastic tour! Super energetic and provides great background knowledge of the region to fully grasp the context of the stories. We had two kids (ages 6 & 8) with us & he was fantastic engaging with them, speaking to both them and the adults. 10/10 would recommend

Justin, our guide has made acting skills so he added performative fun to a lot of history telling. He was an excellent guide!! 5 stars for sure.
Brittany_B, Jul 2026
He was very knowledgeable of the full history of Salem and made sure to highlight what we should do while we were there as well. His story telling was fantastic!

This is an hour walking tour going over the history of Salem and the witch trials. It’s very informative and provides a good start to a trip to Salem
Lynnai_S, Jul 2026
I greatly appreciated the incredibly thorough history lesson. I was taught the stories and the town history in a way that was easily understood and comfortable to ask questions.
Susan_S, Jul 2026
Tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and adjusted our tour to match our interests. Added views of some amazing homes not regularly part of the tours. Kept my 11 year old granddaughter engaged to the end.

Fun and informative! Jobian was fantastic! He brought the history to life with his stories. Being a native of the area, he also shared how things have changed over the years.
Our group was slower and he didn’t rush the group - making sure everyone could keep up. He was friendly, snapping group photos in front of locations. We were a small group, and which made for a more personal experience.
100% recommend. He even gave restaurant recommendations :)
Krista_G, Jul 2026
We had such a great time. Jobian was great with making the tour informational and fun for us. He was very knowledgeable about the area and it felt very personalized, because it was just our group. It made for a nice time to have our own questions answered as well as having a more personalized experience instead of a commercialized experience. I would highly recommend this tour.
Mike_T, Jul 2026
Great tour and guide was super knowledgeable and personable. He was very patient with our over the top, inquisitive 9 year old in the 101 heat. Great fun and you will gain new perspectives on the city and the events. Very much recommend!
Katherine_D, Jul 2026
Our tour guide was engaging, super knowledgeable, not cheesy, kept the kids engaged, took us to see tons of spots and gave excellent recommendations for shopping and food!
Jeff_B, Jun 2026
It is very informative and busted many history myths. Very knowledgeable about the area and buildings.
LynnMarie_B, Jun 2026
Fantastic tour focusing more on historical fact instead of the pop culture version. Our guide was able to relay historical information without making it seem like a history lesson. Even the kids in our group appeared to stay engaged.
Brad_D, Jun 2026
Jobian was very knowledgeable of the area, how the area had developed over the last 400 years. And geographical layout of the Salem area through that time. This was critical to the understanding of the times during the Salem witch trials. I would love to be on other tours of his, if we visit again. He took us to areas we would not have known to look / cover in our short visit before heading to the airport. We only had about 3hrs to kill in Salem before our flight in the evening out of Boston. It just worked perfectly and the group was small enough we all could be given attention. Very responsive to questions along the way. The questions did not throw him off from his performance. All around very informative and historically based. Even though the area has grown to costume and Halloween flare, the history is important to the development of the area.
Jessica_M, Jun 2026
Jobian was an amazing guide! Very energetic and knowledgeable. He is a Salem native so he had many anecdotes to share.
Our tour had a total of 10 people, so it was easy to hear him as we walked.
Adrian_M, Jun 2026
The guide was lovely. We were late due to parking issues but he happily waited for us. His knowledge of the city and the subject was impressive and he had a manner that held our attention.
Laura_M, Jun 2026

kendra_g, May 2026
It was a great walk, history of the town and the Salem witch trials. He was very entertaining. We had a lot of fun
Kathleen_C, May 2026
The guide was very knowledgeable! Very great to interact with. Had some fun facts that we really enjoyed. He did not rush us which was good because our friend that were are traveling with has a bad back and does not walk fast. Loved every minute!

Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much and we are so happy you had a good time.
Jill_D, May 2026
Guide was knowledgeable, fun, enthusiastic and fully engaged! He crafted history in to a compelling story that we were eager to consume! Highly recommend!
Angela_A, Apr 2026
He was an incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide. I felt like I received so much information that I wasn't expecting to receive (in a great way). He gave us great instead tips on food places to eat/ fun local haunts and really was sure to make sure we were safe and comfortable on our tour.
It was a truly historical experience and a bit of flair and an incredible stroll through Salem and all that makes it unique. 10/10 recommend.
Olga_V, Apr 2026
Fabulous. Learned so much! And a different prospective... Highly recommend.. History should be taught like this in public schools
Danielle_M, Apr 2026
Our tour guide, Jobian, was really informative about the history of Salem and the Witch Trials. He was a Salem native and that added an interesting perspective.
Lloyd_D, Apr 2026
Easy walking tour, would recommend reading the early history of Salem. the tour had lots of information and having a little background knowledge will help it all make sense
Billy_E, Apr 2026
Our guide was very knowledgeable but I think he tried to cram way too much history a context into one hour a fifteen minutes.
Alex_V, Apr 2026
Amazing tour guide (Jobian) who took the time to make sure we were all having a great time and provided us with a historic experience.
C_M, Mar 2026
The tour guide Jobian was very informative, interesting and a little different in the best way than other tours. I really enjoyed the deep content that was provided. I felt that history came alive when he was speaking.
Response from Host, Mar 2026

Bill_C, Mar 2026
Jobin was very knowledgeable about the time period events and how they impacted the culture and economy throughout the decades of Salem to what it is today. Great job.
