We are visiting from FL with 2 kids who are 7yrs apart one being a teenager. So trying to find activities that we can do that everyone enjoys is pretty hard. One thing we can all agree on is we love a good mystery. So we found Witch City Walking Tours and after reading the reviews booked a tour. Of course the night of the tour it’s absolutely pouring out but Beth the owner was amazing and offered us umbrellas for the tour. Since we were the only ones in our tour, our tour guide Paige was able to get us in a little earlier then our scheduled time. Which is very helpful when you have Floridian kids who’s are not used to being cold and wet. The tour was AMAZING! We learned a lot of interesting facts and Paige was AWESOME at telling us stories at every stop. Without a doubt the most entertaining and fun we’ve had on a walking tour ever! BOTH my kids could not stop talking about how cool it was to be able to see first hand where the witch trials occurred. Will definitely recommend Witch City Walking tours and if your lucky enough to get Paige as your guide I promise you, you’ll have a blast!!

Hi kellymA3697O, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an amazing review! I am so thrilled to hear that your family, including your kids, enjoyed the tour! Paige had a wonderful time with you. It was my pleasure to provide umbrellas so you were more comfortable in the pouring rain. I am so happy that you found the tour to be amazing. We strive to provide a tour that is entertaining and fun, even if it is about the darker side of Salem's past! The best compliment is that your kids couldn't stop talking about it! Please come back to see us again soon. All the best, Beth and Paige
