Hocus Pocus - Wonderful tour with so many amazing spots and great facts and stories of movies filmed in the area! Both my kids enjoyed it and helped us see areas in the town we didn’t know of

Interesting - It’s a movie tour not a Hocus Pocus tour. Funny and lots of interesting facts. You walk a lot but it’s not bad.

Not worth it - Was more an “overall” movie tour of films that took place in Salem. I went hoping it was more about Hocus Pocus. We did not go to the Dennison house or pioneer village. In my opinion was not worth the $125 dollars I spent on my whole family to go. In addition my 4 year old was suppose to be free and in order to book I had to mark her as “youth” and was charged for a ticket.

Do it on your own - Not much about hocus pocus and the tour guide was dismissive about the hocus pocus locations we did go to. Very lackluster. Wouldn’t recommend to others

Not Hocus Pocus - Didn’t like the tour guide and everything we went and seen, we had already visited. I think it is deceiving to call it the hocus pocus tour because hocus pocus was only 20% of the tour.

Not great. - Tour was not impressive. They didn’t talk much about pocus pocus movie. Gave facts about other movies that no one cared about. Showed pictures from a notebook. Just not what we expected. We left the tour after 40 minutes.
