- Violet was a great guide. She was very knowledgeable and made the experience fun. I especially enjoyed the treats for answering trivia and the little gift at the end.

The highlight of our trip to Salem! - First of all, a big shout out to the owner Beth who was so kind to us when one of my granddaughters get sick the morning of the tour . Beth didn't hesitate to reschedule us to the next day and then offered the Hocus Pocus tour to us even though it wasn't scheduled that day.
We were so incredibly lucky to gave gotten Michael Harmon ( hope I spelled it correctly). He was an absolute joy to spend the morning with! He was so knowledgeable about the movie and the history of Salem! And, he was so kind and funny with my granddaughters! This tour was the highlight of our visit to Salem and when we do come back, this wil be the only tour company that we will use!

Amazing Hocus Pocus tour with a bit of Salem’s history! - This tour was not only a blast (from the past) but it was educational. We had Michael as a tour guide who, hands down, was the best ever. He was so enthusiastic and engaging. He 100 percent made the tour even more enjoyable. There is a lot of walking and it is indeed fast paced but loads of fun. Wear comfy shoes and bring water! This is a MUST do in Salem!!!

Salem Hocus Pocus Walking Tour - This was a walking tour of several of the local Hocus Pocus filming locations with lots of local history thrown in. It took about 2 1/2 hours and we walked about 3 miles. It gives a good overview not just of the filming, but of historic Salem as well. Our guide Tish was informative, entertaining and had lots of stories. She was very patient with my son taking tons of pictures.

A fantastic tour for movie fans! - My wife and I took this tour to explore the filming locations and get a lay of the land in Salem, so to speak, on our first day in town. They are not kidding when they say it is a long walk; I believe I was at 8500 steps when it was over! Don’t be afraid however, this was one of the best guided tours I’ve ever done. If you’re a fan of the movie, don’t miss this! Our guide, Rebecca, was very knowledgeable, funny, and very respectful and welcoming. And she took great photos! They were able to share lots of trivia and fun facts throughout the tour and again, as a fan it was such a great experience!

Disappointing - The guide was super friendly, but we found the activity too expensive, for the few things visited we were disappointed.... at the price of the activity there should be a trolleybus to take us back to the starting point

Disaster - Please note, that it's rain or shine and the trail doesn't come back to where you park your vehicle you have to fine a way back or walk and it's not close. Also once you make your reservation there's no refund no matter what!
They provided umbrellas after we had to ask, but imagine pushing a stroller with a toddler and trying to hold an umbrella that just don't work, so we still got soaked.
The trail needs to be better organized and it should end up where you started near your vehicle, so you won't be stranded like we were in a city we never been before. They suggested riding their transportation, car share etc., but we don't live here what do we know about where to get that information from and what stop to get off. This was the worst experience ever and we travel every year to a different destination and believe this we will never visit Massachusetts again!!!
