Sarah was a wealth of knowledge. Other information we'd received earlier in the day she debunked and gave us the correct information. Lifelong resident, eighteen years at least guiding, she does know her stuff!
Worth every penny! Tom was an excellent tour guide with a wealth of knowledge and sense of humor! Kept our teens engaged!
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
Tom was a great guide. Lots of wonderful information in a fun and interesting way. We had a great time.
Great tour around the city to see and hear the history of Salem! Our tour guide made the experience, was very knowledgeable, funny and kept us engaged. It was a great time
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and could answer any questions. We would definitely recommend this tour.
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!
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.
Tom was such a great guide! He is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. This tour was great, especially in October
This was a great tour! Sarah was awesome we got the full Salem experience. Great atmosphere, made us all feel comfortable through the whole tour! (Even with COVID) highly recommend!
Would came back and do the tours again when places are open. The tour guides are doing an awesome job.
Cami was an awesome energetic guide. Very knowledgeable and passionate about about the history, and landmarks. it was an excellent tour!
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.
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.
All the tour guides were awesome and had tons of great info on the history of Salem. Definitely worth it for the money!!
Tom worked the crowd keeping us engaged. Lots of knowledge about anything you asked about including which craft. My whole family enjoyed it alot.
Short, sweet and to the point. Shortest tour I could find for a reasonable price. The tour guides were very well informed and interesting to listen to!
Our tour guide was great loved it learned so much got to see great landmarks got to walk around areas I didn’t know was there
