Salems Best Walking Tour - Best walking tour in Salem!!! I’ve done quite a few tours before and this tops them all. Our tour guide Sara was full of so much information that was new to us and she shared both historical about the witch trial times and after, so you get a great scope of all things Salem!

Beyond Witches, Ghosts and Halloween - It was nice to have an informative tour with historical context about Salem and the town's history in addition to the witch trials. This is a beautiful town with historical value beyond witches and the Halloween marketing. Although this is a large part of tourism in the area, I felt the respect given to the events, people and victims involved was refreshing. The guide, Sarah, was both entertaining and knowledgeable. This is a great tour for people of all levels of interests in history going beyond the initial draw of what Salem is know for.

All ages Salem history tour - Sarah was an amazing tour guide! My 11 year old daughter and I took the tour together and I was a little nervous that the material would be too mature. She presented dark subjects in a manner that was age appropriate but still didn’t spare the facts of what happened. Her historical knowledge gave us a greater appreciation of this town. She also had a great knowledge of the town and had great suggestions for stops outside of the tour we followed with great experience. Highly recommend!

Deep Dive - The walking tour was a deep dive into the events of the Salem Witch Trials. We enjoyed learning about this as well as touring the historic sites where this tragic event took place. I would recommend this to anyone who has not done a previous walking tour about Salem and the witch trials.
