This was an amazing and unique experience. Thomas and his dog, Satan, provided insight beyond what other tours provide and they do so in an entertaining and factual way. Highly recommend this tour if you want the true stories of Salem.
Lloyd_C, Jun 2026
We enjoyed the historic accuracy. Thomas obviously has a love of the city. New insights into the city and history. Thought provoking. Highly recommend.

Host is very animated, friendly, and knowledgeable. The title of this tour should not be a reason to stay away. There is nothing nefarious is any capacity. Very fun and entertaining. Good history of the witch trials based on facts and not ghostly or cinematic dramatization. Highly recommend.

I wish I could give more than a 5 star rating for this amazing tour. This tour is very informative , engaging and hilarious.
Lori_H, May 2026
This is not the average tour meaning it wasn't all about witcheswitchcraft. Our guide provided us with a fantastic educational experience about Salem's history.
Heidi_S, May 2026
Our Salem tour was "Satanic Salem" led by a minister of the Satanic Temple. It was an interesting event (only 4 participants).

This was, by far, our favorite thing we did on our weekend trip! He gave us actual history while making us laugh. It was entertaining from start to finish. And we got cute puppy pets!
Melissa_L, Apr 2026
The tour guide is genuine, knowledgeable, funny and approachable. He made us all feel very welcome and excited about the history we were learning!

This tour is very different than most tours in Salem. Tom is a local historian and is smart, funny, and charming. I highly recommend this tour.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you want a tour of Salem that’s not-so-brief, brutally honest, and wildly entertaining, this is the one. Thomas and his snack-driven sidekick Satan deliver a mix of history, humor, and unspoken truths that you won’t hear anywhere else. From the very beginning, Thomas had us laughing nonstop while still learning so much.
What sets him apart is his professionalism and genuine care—he’s one of the only guides I’ve seen who will actually pick up the phone, call, and wait for guests. Almost 10-15 mins late but he cared enough to call 3 times! He’s observant, keeps safety in mind, and makes sure everyone stays engaged. Even the little details—like reminding us to walk together “like the wildebeest that killed Simba’s dad,” or not staring at lights at night—show how much thought he puts into the experience. It was a chilly night but our tour guide lit the night on fire with his fun facts and weirdness.
This off-the-wall tour had us piecing together forgotten tales, like the story of the water wall that once held Salem’s richest port together. It’s quirky, it’s bold, and it’s unforgettable. We are definitely coming back (with snacks for Satan as well)
💀 Tip him, please. He’s worth every dollar. Honestly, I wish I could give this tour 10 pentagrams instead of 5 stars. We had an absolute blast and walked away with both laughs and knowledge. Highly recommended.

Amazing tour! I’ve taken other tours and didn’t stay till the end lol i definitely stayed for this one!
Romedia_M, Nov 2025

The tour was great and everything, high light of the tour was following Satan around Salem. My favorite part was seeing things and stuff
Madeleine_B, Oct 2025
Best tour we’ve been on! It was informative and fun. I learned a few new things that I didn’t know.
Also I love Satan… the dog.
Madison_R, Oct 2025
This tour was FANTASTIC! I cannot recommend this tour enough. Tom was wonderful — clearly so knowledgeable, passionate about the subject matter, and provided a very different tour and overall experience, compared to others in Salem. You may even get a surprise visit from Satan. In taking this tour, you can also visit the Satanic Art Gallery at a discounted rate — which I would recommend this as well.
Rhonda_R, Oct 2025
It was the best tour we have taken so far. Our guide was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Salem. He made it fun and exciting. Will definitely recommend this tour to our friends.
Jamie_P, Oct 2025
This tour was informative, entertaining, and filled with humor despite the content discussed. The guide embodied the culture of Salem and we loved that his pup joins for the tour.
Julie_B, Oct 2025
Great tour , you learn a lot about Salem that you’ve never heard before and get accurate history of what happened . Tom is an amazing tour guide who clearly loves what he does and It shows and his dog Satan is the perfect side kick . Hail Satan 🤘
Dakota_T, Oct 2025
My friend and I had so much fun during this tour! Our tour guide Thomas, was absolutely amazing! Super funny and hilarious, we could tell he actually enjoyed what he was doing, and that he actually knew what he was talking about. Thank you Thomas for an awesome tour of Salem!
P.S Thanks for ragging on the Puritans so much 🤣
Gale_S, Oct 2025

Tour guide super knowledgeable and funny. More educational then the other hocus pocus tours. Would highly recommend
Keri_R, Oct 2025
Loved the whole experience! Guide was an amazing mix of comedian and historian. He talked about the witch trials, tv and movies, current culture of inclusiveness, tourism. It was never boring and he had us laughing. My daughter and I both highly recommend- favorite part of our time in Salem.
Shawna_L, Sep 2025
I highly recommend taking this tour. While out and about, we would pass other tour groups, and I was justified in my choice to go with TST’s tour. Thomas was super conversational, laid back, not your typical tour guide, which we loved. It was informative and fun, and we felt like we got some real history, and honestly, a bit of an education in a really fun way. The best part was that we had Salem’s mayor, Satan along for the walk! Hail Satan!
Maggie_W, Sep 2025
Honestly, it was great to hear the history of the town without all the "ghost" rhetoric. It was a fun and quick tour at night.
Kara_P, Sep 2025
Thomas’ tour is phenomenal!!! His historical knowledge, quips and viewpoints about Salem, the Witch Trials and how faith-based groups have contributed to forming the Salem community (past and present) are incredible! This is definitely one of the most informative and entertaining tours we’ve been on to date! Don’t miss it!
Thomas_P, Sep 2025
One of the best tours I’ve been on in awhile, gave an honest history of the city while keeping it so funny. Would go again.
