Rory provided a fantastic tour experience. He was so knowledgeable, articulate, and entertaining! The history (facts and opinions) of the witch trials was fascinating but so were the many other aspects of Salem’s history that he shared. The tour had the right balance of both.

Rory was a wonderful guide! He gave us an overview of Salem history and didn't dwell just on the infamous witch trials. His deep knowledge of his subject was both educational and encyclopledic. I would highly recommend this tour.

Rory was our guide and he is absolutely filled with knowledge. We loved that he told us facts and not just filled with unnecessary ghost stories. He was a pleasure!!!
