We really enjoyed the tour. Maria was a very knowledgeable, engaging and entertaining guide. The time flew by. We felt we had a much better understanding of Salem's history. Best tour of our weekend in Boston .

Maria was a great tour guide. She made the experience enjoyable and informative. She tailored the tour to suit us with a variety of ages. The whole tour was expertly presented and I would highly recommend it.

The tour was amazing!! The guide was extremely friendly, witty, and knowledgeable about Salem and genuinely cared about conveying the history to the group in the most accurate and interesting way possible. The guide was also great at answering questions, navigating through the busy-October pre-Halloween season in the town, telling lesser-known stories from locals or previous tour guests, and also provided recommendations for post-tour food/activities in the area. Overall, I could not recommend this tour enough.
Juliet_B
The tour was so informative. We have been on tours before but we heard stories we have never heard and been to places we haven’t been to before! Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely the best tour, Maria was better than great. Zero complaints about anything, I can’t say enough nice things about this tour. Maria’s ability to break down the Salem Witch Trials and put them into context of their time and the town today was incredible. I also can’t say enough about all the other things we learned about Salem, besides the witch trials. I learned so much and just couldn’t wait to share what I learned with others.

Maria was phenomenal! So much history and she kept it entertaining the whole time. Everyone in the group truly enjoyed themselves. She did an amazing job taking us step by step through the city while telling us all the ins and outs of the history of Salem. She even gave us local tips of places to check out and places to grab a bite to eat. I will definitely be recommending this tour to others! 10/10!!

Maria was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She not only answered questions about the tour but she also answered any questions we had about local places. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Best experience of our whole trip.. even if it was pouring rain.
