Fantastic Tour

This tour was amazing! Our tour guide Jeff was so knowledgeable and witty. He kept us locked in while educating about Salem's history. We learned so much that I can't wait to return. I recommend this tour for any first time visitors to the area. The 2 hours flew by.
Great educational walking tour

A great tour from Jeff who was passionate about Salem and the history of the town. As a solo traveller I felt comfortable on the tour.
More than your typical history of the Witch Trials

Awesome take on Salem history with a whole lot more information than we ever got in school. There was a whole lot more to the story that what we typically hear.
By a history nerd for history nerds! Perfect!

This tour was absolutely brilliant! Jeff was so knowledgeable and informed about the local history. While walking around town earlier in the day, we heard and saw several tours led buy guides in costumes, cackling, shouting out “Kill the Witch” and if that is what you are looking for, this likely isn’t the tour for you. Thankfully, this tour exists for those of us who are more interested in learning the history through facts. Salem is steeped in history beyond a singular event and there were reasons for the witch trials. We decided we wanted to explore and learn about the area beyond the haunted houses and torture chambers. Again, nothing wrong with enjoying those things if that’s your style but if you are looking for a serious exploration (with a bit of fun, too) then this tour can’t be beat!
