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!

Dan was a great tour guide with an impressive vault of historic information. He was also very organized and prompt. Even before the tour started I was impressed with this company's website, professionalism and attention to detail. We live on the west coast and it was reassuring to have some guidance on the best way to get to the area where the tour started, how to get to the town of Salem, where to park, what to expect and how to dress. He even offered a mask before we started and everyone got a souvenir wrist band!

Excellent tour! Our guide Dan, was phenomenal. We took 2 kids and they enjoyed learning the hidden stories about Salem. I’ve lived in the North Shore my entire life and often visit Salem. I had NO idea how much I didn’t know. We will be back for more tours, thank you for the fun adventure back in time.

This tour was amazing! We had no idea there was so much history and stories about Salem. This tour has everything from witches and pirates to Revolutionary War and even a few hidden surprises. The storytelling delivery was very captivating. This is a great tour to see Salem and learn about the history.
