Black Cat Historical Day Tour

Overview

Our daytime historic tour is a story of Pirates and Puritans, Witchcraft and War. We travel around the city of Salem and share the tales of its amazing history. From its humble beginnings as a city founded on the idea of peace for all, to the site of the largest incident of witchcraft hysteria in the modern world, learn how it became one of the biggest shipping ports in America, played host to some of the most famous authors of all time, and learn some of the biggest secrets this city has to offer!

Our daytime walking tour lasts about an hour and forty five minutes, and covers a mile's worth of the downtown area. It is an easy walk, but we suggest comfortable shoes and clothing to match the season. Our tours are unscripted, and can be customized to every group's particular areas of interest!

Daniel was very informative, enjoyed questions and most importantly stuck to the facts ,he gave tons of little tidbits of information I have never heard and the cemetery tour I took with him was amazing,he even wrote a book about it which is going home with me.He makes the hour feel like 15 min because he is so easy to listen to.

Ghostly Night Tour Our guide, Daniel, was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and entertaining. I highly recommend this tour. Tip: if you're in town for a few days with kids/teens go on your first night. It motivated my kids to want to go visit many of the places they heard tales about.
