Tom was a great tour guide. He was very knowledge and enthusiastic. He kept us laughing and had a great vibe. Highly recommend!! Bonus to the little dog that joined us. He was great.

Tom was knowledgeable, entertaining and a lot of fun! We learned so much about the history of the witch trials that we never knew!

Our guide Kat was wonderful! We chose to take a history tour after our kids learned about the witch trials in school. She asked about what they already knew, tailored the tour a bit to include what we wanted to learn, and shared the history and stories with charm and just the right touch of drama and humor to make it fascinating, without making light of a truly horrible time in our nation’s history or dishonoring the victims. I appreciate that— when asked— she shared a bit of her own story with us and offered a perspective we hadn’t heard before. If I could give 6 stars I would!

Kat really brought Salem to life for us. We had group of 7 people aged 12 to 80 y.o. She answered our questions and told the witch trial details like a pro seasoning the storyline with jokes & entertaining details. Loved the tour! Ease of booking on Halloween day in Salem can be a REAL challenge. This experience was well worth it! ALL OF US ENJOYED-EVEN MY DISBELIEVING IN PARANORMAL HUBBY. TYVM

I enjoyed hearing the history of the Salem witch trials. There is more to Salem than I realized. Pam was an excellent host😀

Our tour guide, Kim, was great! The tour was really fun and entertaining, and as someone who has done a lot of research on the topic of the Salem Witch Trials (both academically and for fun) I can confirm that this is one of the most historically accurate tours I've been on in Salem and one of the most respectful to the victims of the trials.

Tour guide Tom was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and gave a information packed tour in only an hour!
Nickie_B, Feb 2021
so much fun! most tours were booked, so we snagged this short one last minute. Wish we were able to do a longer tour, or even a ghost tour. Our guide was great though, and combined some of those aspects with our visit. Be sure you are in comfortable walking shoes and bundled up well if you visit in the cold months!

Our host was great! I can’t remember his name, but he was very funny and informative. Although it was rainy, we enjoyed the walk through Salem and the historical information be provided us.

We got very lucky and had a private tour with the lovely lady that traveled from Seattle to Salem on a boat (sorry we forgot your name ) she was very friendly and knowledgeable about the witch trials . We had a great time thank you

It was hard to find so we were late (10mins) & they left without us. It was extremely disappointing. It was a waist of $80. We couldn't even find anyone to ask about possible rescheduling . There was no at the address . We were very disappointed.
Tess_G, Oct 2020
It was amazing! Our tour guide kami (not sure the spelling!) was super knowledgeable and fun to listen and learn from! Definitely recommend this tour of Salem, you learn about spots you would have never known were part of the history.
