Dark History of Salem - Wonder tour, one of the best we’ve ever been on. Our tour guide Violet was a delight! My only complaint is that the tour ended.

Violet and Witch City tours can’t be beat! - This tour by Violet is amazing! This is not just a Halloween spooky tour, but a full on educational experience for my partner and I with an amazing amount of history known by our tour, guide Violet! So much fun and festive. I give Violet so much credit being able to speak so articulate about the history of witch city and compete with the bustling crowds and festivities all around us! Fantastic time.

Not worth the money! - Really wasn’t that interesting and really didn’t like the way it ended far away from the town hall where we started. No help whatsoever in getting back. Would have been better if we went in a circle and ended up where we started. Very unhappy wasn’t worth the money
