My entire family had a great time! Emily did an amazing job of telling the true history of Salem, including the witch trials, the rebirth of Salem, building and infrastructure histories and fun stories. She also included some paranormal info but kept it honest. She gave you restaurant and recommended other things to see throughout town and book recommendations if you wanted to know more of the history. It was a fantastic experience in Salem!
It was a great experience for our one day here. It was very informative and our guide was very nice.
Our guide Chris was very knowledgeable and funny.

Emily was very knowledgeable. It was great to hear about the Salem witch trials. My kids wanted to hear more about Hocus Pocus though.
Emily was great and very informative about the history of Salem and “witches”. She was even nice enough to wait on late folks and give them a call. Superior customer service.
Alina was fantastic! She is a local and a self described Salem witch History and Hauntings lore nerd. Such great history that I never knew about some important things in American History and quirky fun facts that happened here in Salem. Loved it and highly recommend!
