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.

Our guide was very easy to hear and well versed on the history of Salem. Loved the history without all the witchy hype. All was historically based and I left feeling like I took a course on Salem. It was excellent!!!!!
