Did this second week of Jan on MLK day. It had just dumped heavy snow and they sticked to their commitment to continue in all weathers “we dont let you down” approach which was welcomed and recognised. It meant just three of us on our tour. The streets of Salem were empty and atmospheric and our wonderful guide bought hand heaters for all of us which was a nice touch - Lovely detail. The tour was excellent and touched upon more than the witch trials. The sea faring, ghosts of the town and it ended at the memorial which was actually very moving. Im so pleased I booked this tour. Its a very special and unique place.

We just had the best tour with Dean! He was incredibly knowledgeable and talked for almost 2 hours straight - sharing story after story about Salem's history as a seaport, it's role in our nation's independence, the witch trials, the architecture and even a few ghost stories! We walked through several areas of Salem, ending at the witch trial memorial which was quite moving after Dean's explanation. We could feel how much he loves the history of Salem. We are a family of two adults and two teens - all of us loved it! I highly recommend this tour company.

We took the History & Haunting Tours of Salem over the weekend. We signed up for the 10am tour since that was the only one that really fit into our schedule and it was just us and 1 other couple. The weather was bad (rainy, very windy and 40 degrees), but we had the best tour guide! Hilary was so knowledgeable and very contentious about the wind and weather. We took a little coffee break to get out of the cold to finish with the tour information and then we walked quickly thru the rest of sites. Hilary was so passionate in her story telling and you could see how much research she has done about the myths and legends of Salem. Highly recommend this tour. And would also say that everyone we talked to congratulated us on not coming to Salem during Sept/Oct, so might want to go when it's less busy!

Took the two hour walking tour with Ryan who was just incredible! Loved his story telling abilities and how respectfully he engaged with the group, while also making us aware of our surroundings so we did not block paths for the locals walking about. Definitely came out of the tour a lot more knowledgeable about Salem and the Witch Trials. Also, Ryan showed us a photo he took with a potential apparition in it that was extremely eerie and scary, especially in connection to the legend associated with the house. It was so spooky that I woke up a few times in the middle of the night and couldn't get the image out of my head 😱 Thank you for scaring me and giving me the kind of Salem experience I came for 😂 100/10!

Mykaela was great! She is knowledgeable and friendly. The presentation was informative, entertaining, and covered a huge range of topics. We touched on architecture, religion, politics, and the history of the town as well as current events. Absolutely worth taking the time to do this tour, you will see so many things you’d otherwise walk right by on your own.
