The tour was amazing! Very engaging and entertaining. I sometimes find my mind wandering in tours, but Krystina did a great job keeping things interesting the whole two hours, despite how uncomfortable the cold was. I appreciated the expertise Krystina holds as a historian. Learning this history was exactly what I wanted while visiting Salem. I also recommend her podcast, Effed Up History, for short, fun, and informative stories about Salem and otherwise!

Krystina adapted the tone of her tour to our younger group and gave us a great history lesson on Salem witches and beyond! We learned about traditional Salem witches, fictional witches and some more history of Salem. This was a fast-paced trip through Salem with plenty to pay attention to.

The best part of our trip to Salem! A walking tour with an actual historian, with lots of accurate information, context, precisions, and explanations. She knows her craft! She is witty, knowledgeable and formidable. We left her walking tour with information bubbling in our minds. Don’t hesitate to book with her: she is a hidden gem.

A terrific tour with an expert in Salem history and the occult. We were part of a small group and Kristine made it extra personable. Nothing hokey or sensationalized, just the facts, which are disturbing enough. Highly recommend.
