Amazing tour guide for kids! Don't hesitate! - We took our 5 year old twins and had no idea how to approach telling them about Salem's history. This tour was the perfect answer! She made all of the history, from scary to strange, understandable to the kids in really fun ways. I can't recommend this enough! We booked a private tour because our daughter uses a wheelchair and we needed some extra time to get around, well worth the extra cost!

An experience you won’t regret! - When in Salem with young children, you won’t regret doing this. Tailored to ages 5-12, this one-hour walking tour was just right for our kiddos, ages 6 and 9. The tour was enjoyed by the whole family and Alicia is the perfect person for the job! Highly recommend!

Kids Exploring Salem - Alicia is a wonderful guide! Her experience as an educator directly translates to her ability to keep children entertained and engaged. The one hour tour explains how Salem became famous for Witchcraft. You will explore various landmarks and how the city has changed over time.

Excellent! 11 out of 10 - Tour guide clearly had experience talking with kids. Stories were entertaining, and as parents we learned some things too. Turns out there's more to Salem history than just the witch trials. Tour lasted about 70-75 minutes and was well worth it.

Highly recommend - Our tour with David was fabulous. He was not only accommodating for our family (young kids and all), but he has a wealth of knowledge about Salem’s history. I would highly recommend the tour of Salem - and David as your guide!

Highlight of our visit to Salem - Last year we did the Spooky tour so decided to do the History tour this year and both tours are AMAZING!! My sons are 10 and 12 years old and both years the tours were the highlight of our visit. Lots of interesting facts and the tour guided Ms Alicia and John were wonderful and kept everyone engaged. Each tour lasts 1 hour that flies by!!

Interesting & Fun! - John was interesting and silly, the perfect combo to keep young kids’ attention. The tour focused on the history of Salem and was not scary for youngsters! Theme of kids making a difference throughout history—chef’s kiss!
