I highly recommend taking... - I highly recommend taking the Salem Kids Slightly Spooky Tour if you are visiting Salem with kids. While visiting New England, we had done two other tours that were enjoyable for us but not engaging enough or too long to hold our 8-year-old’s attention. This tour was just the right amount of time and the right amount of detail to keep him engaged the whole time while also being just as enjoyable for us.

Phenomenal Tour and Terrific Guide - Phenomenal tour with fantastic tour guide. She was not only incredibly knowledgable and engaging, but she also took time to make the connection between what took place in Salem in the 1690s to what is happening in modern-day America. As a mother who is trying to educate her children on the importance of pattern recognition and learning from history’s mistakes, I really appreciated it. Thank you!

Boston Trip - The tour was exactly what I was looking for. My children do better walking and talking. Tour guides made it so much fun! Definitely recommend for the whole family. Stroller friendly a plus for us! (Only cemetery stop was a little tricky but we made it work!)

Best Kids Ghost Tour in Salem! - This was hands down the best tour ever for families visiting Salem! The ghost stories were just spooky enough to thrill the kids while still being packed with interesting history for the parents to enjoy, too. The tour lasted about an hour and fifteen minutes — the perfect length to keep the kids engaged without losing their attention. Alicia, our tour guide, was absolutely wonderful. With her teaching background, she knew exactly how to connect with the kids and keep them entertained while still weaving in fascinating historical facts for the adults. Walking through the cemetery and hearing the ghost stories and history of Salem’s old school was such a unique experience — both kids and adults had a blast! I can’t recommend this tour enough. If you’re visiting Salem with kids, do not miss this tour!

No Tricks, All Treats! - On the perfect Fall 60 degree day (in June!) we had the best time learning about Salem. Alicia was so knowledgeable about the town and had the perfect temperament for children. It was advertised as a slightly spooky tour and she brought the perfect kid friendly Halloween energy. We had an 11, 7, 3 and 11 month old and it appealed to all ages. Just enough stops, and just enough walking for little legs.
