Henry was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He spoke clearly and projected well. Loved his ghost stories! Loved his knowledge of Federalist architecture. I also appreciated his explanation of the various ways Salem has lived with its legacy of the witch trials.

We went on the May 17 8:00pm tour with Michael. It was amazing and worth every penny. We learned so much and Michael is an amazing tour guide. He’s expressive and funny and makes the tour even more enjoyable.

We loved Salem. What a lovely place to stroll around, and the only way to improve that is to stroll with Aurelia, the tour guide. Prompt start and finished on time, fun, friendly, knowledgeable and a fabulous character. Great to learn about the witch trials and to learn there’s more to Salem than the witch trials. I’d recommend this company/walk/a tour with Aurelia.
The only thing I’d suggest is not sending people to the Amory Visitor Centre restrooms if they’re on the 10am tour, because they weren’t open until 10am!

Thorough history of the area. We did think that there would be more historical landmarks connected with the witch trials, but it seems not all of the original structures still exist. Our guide had tons of knowledge and great stories about hauntings at several locations.
