Loved the back alley walks, only got mugged twice second guy didn’t get no money but he took my shoes. Proceeded to call me Hollywood, I didn’t get the reference. Had to finish the tour barefoot. I felt like I was literally there walking the streets in 1692. Ps the train conductor called me stupid.

Our tour guide Heather was excellent! Their passion for the victims rang through so strongly which is what true crime should really be about! She was knowledgeable and funny and I would take a tour with heather again! The tour was detailed but not too gory and getting to walk and see the places that connected to the story’s was super cool

book this tour.. you won’t regret it!! I had heather as a tour guide and she was phenomenal. she’s got a great sense of humor and kept the group entertained the whole time. she also always made sure we were kept together & safe at all times. I walked around most of the day taking pictures of buildings & places mostly not knowing the history of them. I was astounded when we visited the same places on the tour and heather explained the history of the locations and told stories from the past. the whole tour was very interesting and I had a great time. it was a good walk around salem and heather did a great job telling all of the stories. I definitely would do this again! thank you for such a great experience!
