Ajay was great! Learned a lot of great facts that we didn't know. Great way to spend an hour in salem
Sasha_D, Aug 2026
We loved our tour guide! Knowledgeable, great stories and enjoyable tour. Good amount of walking over the time, not too much or too little. Stopped in shady spots which was great walking in the summer sun!
Allison_P, Aug 2026
This is an informative and fun walking tour around the main streets of Salem. Walking surfaces are uneven so good walking shoes recommended. It’s a decent amount of time to get in the historical facts and still have time to enjoy the local shops & restaurants.
Chris was a great tour guide that shared the history and more recent facts about his hometown. He welcomed questions and friendly dialogue along the way.
Melissa_B, Aug 2026
Very knowledgable. Emily was fantastic and so full of information about the Salem area. She gave a tour full of information. The small group was the best to be able to get the full experience.

Leslie_T, Jul 2026
Lots of history and interesting facts shared about the town and the Salem witch trials. Our guide, Misha, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! We really enjoyed the experience!
Just as a side note, the tour is listed as an hour. Ours lasted two hours!

Amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review.
Heather_F, Jul 2026
For a 1 hour tour, you get a good overview of the history of the trials. The 1 hour duration fit into our schedule nicely. I do not recommend this tour if you want to see more of Salem, more landmarks, and go deeper into the history of the trials and Salem. Overall though, it was good.
Craig_S, Jul 2026
