Loved the tour - My cousin and I took this tour back in April and absolutely LOVED it. Jeff did fantastic job of sharing the history of the trials and even took the time after the tour to talk to each of the guests who had questions. Will be recommending this to everyone!

Best tour in Salem!! - Jeffrey is such a fun and vibrant personality, and his tour really makes Salem history accessible and interesting beyond what you'd get in a book. It's clear from the start that he's an expert and also extremely passionate about his work - his energy is infectious! I went with my 78 year old grandmother and we both learned something new. The tour group was small and made for a great interactive experience! The pace was good, each stop was well-placed and a good amount of time, and Jeffrey was very considerate of our needs on a 90+ degree day!

His timing and delivery were so great, and he did a fantastic job of delivering the information. His knowledge of the material is impressive. Definitely take this tour!!!!

Walking tour, nice if you... - Walking tour, nice if you like direction and not having to plan your own day. Many of the actual buildings are not there so it’s only the physical site. I feel we could have did on our own. Guide was nice and informative. Would recommend based on the above.
