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!

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Daniel, was very nice and knowledgeable about Salem, it's history, and ghosts. Our group was on the smaller side, which I prefer to the larger groups. The places we visited had deep ties to Salem's history and we learned a lot about the history of the town.

My friend and I ended up having a private ghost walking tour with Kristen. She was awesome. She took us to locations in downtown Salem, and gave us some great ghost stories. But aside from her knowledge (because that her job), she was great to talk to. I'm glad we had her as our guide, it was a great introduction to the history of Salem.
