My partner and I did this with some friends on a cold January night, but still had a great time. We all learned some new things about the Salem witch trials, Salem history, as well as local ghost stories. Paige was our tour guide and was a total delight, keeping the tour informative but also entertaining and interactive. I'd absolutely recommend this if you enjoy learning about history and/or enjoy tales of hauntings (though if you go in the winter, I wish we had done hand and foot warmers!). Will totally do one of this company's other tours the next time we are in town.

We really enjoyed our tour with Paige. We were impressed by her enthusiasm, rich knowledge, and willingness to trudge through the bitter cold, giving us a history of the known facts and supernatural tales of Salem and its people and places of interest. I was most impressed with the emphatic humanity given to those murdered in Salem so many years ago. We also got the scoop on a unique cookie hangout. Thank you for the wonderful evening; it was a highlight of our visit.

My boyfriend and I did this tour during the off season when many museums were closed but we wanted to learn more about Salem. It’s the PERFECT tour to do - whether the museums are closed or not! We were lucky enough to have April to ourselves and she gave us such a detailed, interesting tour covering the history of Salem and of course the witch trials. Would highly, highly recommend this tour.

VERY cold walking tour but Paige was entertaining. She shared a lot of historical data and a couple of great tales of local lore.
The stops were all relevant and the lantern added to the ambiance.
We enjoyed our tour! Thank you :)

The tour was absolutely incredible! We were the only ones on the tour and it was exactly what we wanted! We definitely recommend taking this tour. You wont regret it :) The tour guide was also absolutely hilarious! He knew so much about everything and since we were the only ones we took more of a tour than the usual tour stated. He really made the tour absolutely amazing!

Seán was an incredible guide! He gave us a fun and fascinating tour! Afterward my friend said: “I can’t even put into words how amazing he was.” The perfect Salem experience for anyone who loves history and hauntings. The real Salem gem!

Our guide April was excellent - entertaining, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. A great story-teller who brought the history to life. Nice balance of information on the Salem witch trials and more expansive history of the region as a significant port city.

It was very interesting to have a walk with April in the city. She could tell so much about the history and in a very pleasant way. We were only with 2 people and nevertheless we could get the tour and she took the time to explain it all whatever we asked. And we learned a lot about Salem more than just witch trials.
A great tour!
