I forgot the tour guides name but there were only 2 of us in the group. That made it feel a lot more personal because we could ask questions and it didn’t hold the whole group up. It was very interesting to hear about the founding and history of Salem. If you don’t have a lot of time this is the perfect tour! Our guide was pretty cool. Thanks again!
Travel back in time to 1692 as we experience the Salem Witch Trials. Learn about the victims, the accusers, and the culprits who took part in one of the first and most famous scandals in our nation's history! Visit the actual locations where the historic events took place. Then, learn of Salem's hauntings while exploring spooky buildings, cemeteries, hotels, and former jails. We also dive into Salem's history of war, piracy, business, Hocus Pocus movie locations, and humorous tales of a city almost 400 years old. Our guides are passionate about the history and experienced story tellers. The tour is 1 hour in length and goes regardless of weather.

Our guide was a Salem native, born and raised and he gave us an honest local perspective on the city, past present and future. He told us the complete history of the witch situation but also the other things that are important to know about the history of Salem.

Jobian was an AMAZING tour guide. My partner and I got to see all the sights and learn the dark history behind Salem. He especially made it comfortable to ask any questions during the tour.

Great tour - Chris was a knowledgeable and enjoyable guide and his personal connections to the Salem witch trials made the tour even more interesting. On an absolutely Arctic day we appreciated the one hour length of the tour, enough time to learn a lot but not too long to freeze our toes off. Highly recommend!
