Great tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the Salem witch trials. The tour itself doesn’t really have too many stops at the historical houses but well worth it for the information about the history.

Our tour guide, Bob, was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I learned a lot on this tour. Would recommend doing this earlier in the day before you walk around a lot because this tour is a lot of standing/walking!
Worst tour guide ever.

We ended up ditching the tour after 30 minutes. The tour guide didn’t share any history details about the witch trials but force feed us his political views on his dislike for religion, the people of Salem and Massachusetts in general. He took us into smelly dirty allies and in the 30 min we literally walked in a circle.
Response from Host , Nov 2021
Our witchcraft history tour deals with what happened in Salem. How it started and ended with stories of people and incidents in between. We do not get into politics. We discuss the religion of the time. We go to several places. The alley is where the first church was located. We also go to the court, Judge's locations, Corey pressing site, Bridget Bishop's location and more if there is time.
Great Experience

We had 48 people in our group. It was just way to big and couldn't even hear the tour guide. Wasn't a good or fun experience at all.

I went on the 4 pm 10/28/21 1692 Salem witch trails tour. It was poorly handled by the guide. Her presentation was scattered, she gave very little info, and she allowed the presentation to be taken over by a 7 year older kid that asked endless questions about witches. We didn’t even walk thru the cemetery like other tours, only outside it.
Response from Host , Oct 2021
This tour has achieved the Badge of Excellence from Trip Advisor and is head and shoulders above the other tours in the city. It is a deep dive into the facts of the witchcraft trials of 1692. The tour does not go in the cemetery because there is no real witchcraft history significance to the cemetery. We encourage questions about the trials from a guest whether they are 7- or 70-years-old. And asking questions about witches seems appropriate on this tour.
Horrible experience

My trip was a disaster. I missed 2 of the tours I paid for because there wasn't any good directions on where we had to go. The dates weren't on the page so I paid for 2 tickets that didn't even start till next week all together I lost over 200 in tickets not used cause there was poor directions.
