Our guide was awesome! We really learned a lot and had so much fun! I definitely recommend the 1692 Ghost Walk Tours. I'd definitely do it again!

Learning about the history of the area was good but really it has a park setting next to a cemetery so it's sad thinking about what the girls and families went through.

This was a really interesting tour our guide was very knowledgeable. We were lucky that our group was small and the weather was great. We learned a lot of history and also about the architecture

Christina was knowledgable and fun. As luck would have it, I was the only person in the group. I learned so much and have a much better appreciation of the politics and cultural and religious issues surrounding this period. It was a great walk through time. Thanks Christine, you are one of my favorites.

It was an amazing history lesson! It was a great experience! I took so many photos. The people around the area were so nice the shops were amazing! Such an interesting day!

Enjoyable experience, learned a lot. One bit of constructive feedback: maybe don’t have the group stand in the direct sun for a long time when there is shade available a few feet away!

We went on the historic walking tour today on our last day in Salem and it was wonderful! Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared stories along the way. She made sure that we had time to take photos and to ask any questions that we might have. We learned a lot and enjoyed ourselves! We didn’t even notice the rain! Thank you again!

We learned that the Salem witch trials lasted less than a year. Interesting memorial. I have nothing more to say.

frank_w

The guide was not good. He stumbled through the entire tour not remembering what he was supposed to say. He kept thumbing through a book that he had to show us meaningless pictures of things, and other parts of the country that had nothing to do with Salem. He was quite awkward, and the whole tour was very uncomfortable. Waste of money

Our guide Bob added humour to a dark event. I learned a lot. He taught me a few things I didn't know.
