Your Itinerary

Witch House

Welcome to Salem’s Witch House. Purchased in 1675 by Judge Jonathan Corwin, the Witch House is the only surviving structure with direct ties to Salem’s Witch Trials. It’s architecturally extraordinary and historically essential. Here you will learn all about Corwin, and the innocents he had executed.

Old Burying Point Cemetery

The Burying Point Cemetery, established in 1637, is one of the most prominent burial sites in Salem. Because of its age, every gravesite at the Burying Point unquestionably holds historical importance. One of the most important belongs to John Hathorne. You'll get to learn even more about the lives behind the spirits haunting these graves.

Peabody Essex Museum

We stand before the Peabody Essex Museum. Within these walls, you will find many of the original documents of the Salem Witch Trials. For the historians in tonight’s audience, this is a must-see stop. This is also where we would like to give you a few bits of information about the trials you may not find otherwise. This will be for “frequently asked questions,” so to speak.

Zack was so good! We really enjoyed the tour. We learned a lot that we didn’t learn at the museum. We had a great time!

Anna_H

This is a scam. No one showed up to lead the tour and there was zero information about any alternative location or details given. I tried calling and I just got an automated robocall. I need a refund.

Witchy fun! Historically accurate tour. I had a really great time. Very affordable fun walking tour. Great places to stop on the tour.

The witch house was closed! We walked there ourselves. The tour description was deceiving. We saw others at a tour before us complaining about how the house was closed. We tried to cancel and wouldn’t reimburse.they wanted to give us a different day, we are from Long Island!! Our daughter’s sweet 16 trip!! Disappointing

Steven was a great tour guide, very informative and very funny! Our tour was during Halloweekend and even though Salem was packed, it felt very personal and special. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about this important piece of Salem's history.

Zach was very informative! Great experience. It was cool to learn about the real history of the 20 victims of the Salem Witch Trials. Beautiful weather as well!

The man with the green torch (from party city) was very knowledgeable and very outgoing. He was very interactive with the group, which made it fun. My wife and I learned a lot while having a blast. We definitely will be back.
