This was a terrific tour. It was both well-paced, and it included an extremely knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend! Also, don't miss out on the Black Cat Shop before or after as well.

The tour was so much fun despite it being a rainy day. Jeremiah was such a good tour guide and was so nice to answer any questions we had. He also gave me some recommendations for things to do and food places. 10/10 would recommend.

This is the walking tour to book. Daniel was so knowledgeable. In addition to exhaustive information about Salem’s history, he fielded all of our questions about engineering, etymology, where did the river go? He recited poetry. He translated Latin. He taught us some French. He wears a feather in his cap. I was only sorry we didn’t make time for the nighttime tour that Black Cat runs. But I guess we’ll just have to go back!

My mom and I had planned a tour here with some family friends in early October-little did we know how busy it was going to be! Black Cat tours was so accommodating and was able to reschedule us. We ended up going on a Sunday and it was just us on the tour which was awesome! Daniel was incredible and so knowledgeable. His history knowledge was actually jaw-dropping at times. In addition, he was respectful of our time. Would absolutely recommend this any time of year to local and out of town tourists!

Debi_S

This is a great historical tour. We did this tour in October and obviously, Salem was busy. The guide was great, he was easy to hear even with all the noise and people. We had a very informative history of the witch trials and other Salem history.
