This was a great tour with Misha, so many interesting facts about the witch trials and the local area of Salem. I enjoyed the balance between humour and recognition of the upsetting history. Thanks for a great tour!

Minimum group size, Maximum info learned

Group size was quite small, and guide was quite knowledgeable. This led to a ton of info shared and plenty of questions being answered. Can't understate just how amazing this was.
