The witch guided tour is a must! Our witch Aaron provided a personal touch with ours while he talked about his relative from the original witch trials. The garden behind the shop, the spells, and the shop all allow an intro into the theme of witch craft in the witchy city! This was my first visit and I absolutely loved it! Thank you!

It was wonderful! We did a ritual, we got crystals, and we learned a ton of history! Our guide was simply the best!

A grounded view of witchcraft past and present

Kerry_G, Apr 2026
This was perfect for us! Even though it was gray and drizzly, the rain let up just in time for our tour. I appreciated how our guide, Will, tied the history of witchcraft in Salem to present day. Everyone’s favorite part was when we got to participate in spell work in the garden! (Bonus: Will told us where all the good bathrooms are, which is clutch for out-of-town visitors!)

Thank you for your review and for your visit ! Many Blessings,Lorelei

Disappointing

Christy_J, Nov 2025
Had a hard time hearing the guide. Found it boring and don't recommend. My husband and I visited ten years ago and did this tour. We had an awsome time. Which is why I booked it for my return trip and was very disappointed It wasn't the same quality as my last trip. Sorry for this review but it was very short and not very informative. Nothing like the last time. The guide was friendly just very quiet and hard to hear.

Juan_M, Nov 2025
Do not recommend. Spent 30 minutes standing in place in a very small alleyway/garden then 25 min listening to off stories at two buildings. Left after the second stop.

A little witchy

Kirsten_V, Nov 2025
Great sense of humor, lots Of fun but end with the ritual perhaps, great content enjoyed all the folklore good job Aaron! Thanks again!

Don't do it.

Dianne_C, Nov 2025
We were sadly disappointed with this tour. First off our guide was so high he could barely speak a full sentence. He then would get easily sidetracked which was annoying. Then we could not hear him because our group was so large. So I would not recommend this tour. We were there during October when it was busy so maybe an off peak time tour would better? Otherwise don't waste your money.

Witch themed tour is a bonus!

Amazing tour! Definitely recommend. Learned some great history and cool that our tour guides Aunt was Sarah Wilde.

Misleading Advertising

Ron_M, Nov 2025
When it was advertised as having cauldrons, dragons, etc., I envisioned light projected figures floating in the air. It was a little misleading. At least the potions could have fizzled or “steamed” to give some visual effect. It was nothing like I had envisioned from the advertisement.

The best!

It was wonderful! We did a ritual, we got crystals, and we learned a ton of history! Our guide was simply the best!

Best Witch Walk & Spells

Georgia_D, Oct 2025
Our tour was guided by a well informed Witch that shared spells and their history with us. He then took us on a walking tour of significant locations in Salem. He was passionate, knowledgeable, and funny. I recommend this tour throughout the year.

October walk in Salem

Patti_S, Oct 2025
If done while October, expect huge crowds and slow walks. A walking stick would be helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed the walking

Awesome experience!

MaryEllen_D, Oct 2025
Aaron was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and I definitely have a better understanding of the history of Salem! Loved the magic in the garden as well! I will be coming back next year!

The tour was heavy on history and low on hauntings. A lot personal history from the tour guide. Very little witch history.

Deborah_M, Oct 2025
This is a good tour. We took 2 witch tours that day and just know that they are all basically the same. This one was a little more fun than the other but the other was very history focused. I did really enjoy the ritual at the end. So mote it be.

Denise_H, Oct 2025
Aaron aka A.A.Ron is a wonderful human being and an awesome guide. He shares interesting stories and information, and loves ppl who come with questions and a curious mind. He’s got a fun and gentle spirit—you won’t regret doing this tour and meeting him. Shout out to his mom who will hopefully tell him about this review!

A Different Kind of Tour

Angie_M, Oct 2025
William is a neat dude! He’s real and he seems to know everyone! He’s a true Bostonian and a practicing witch. He’s a good Communicator as well. Thanks for the tour!

Great witchy time with Aaron!

steveshreve, Oct 2025
Our tour with Aaron the Witch was awesome! He was quirky, fun, authentic and intelligent. He was easy to approach and talk to. We did spells together and I still feel I am in the circle of protection. Good things have been happening. When a challenging event happened, he handled it with grace and couth. We had such a great time, would do it again, and would recommend,!

Fun for the whole family!

Kirsten_F, Oct 2025
You get to cast spells, say incantations, learn about the history of witches and of Salem. Fun for the whole family.

Amazing!!

Shawna_S, Oct 2025

Karlee_D, Oct 2025
Absolutely loved the Witch Walk! At first I was a little disappointed because I was expecting a witch and a warlock ended up being our tour guide. I wouldn't have changed a thing! Aaron was our tour guide and he was absolutely outstanding! I was sad when our tour was over because I wanted more! Shout-out to Aaron who did an amazing job! Thanks for the information and all the laughs! Highly recommend! We will be back 😊

Enjoyed the spells,...

Colleen_T, Oct 2025
Enjoyed the spells, learning about Salem’s history, and most importantly the lessons to be learned from the history. Aaron was a great tour guide!
