I was looking for something extra special. And that’s definitely what I found with Witch City Walking Tours. I reached out to the tour owner a week prior to our visit and she so graciously made accommodations for me and my boyfriend to join her “Mysteries and Murders” tour which we were fortunate to have hosted by Beth, herself. Although advertised for 60-90 minutes, she ended up taking us on a two-hour walking tour of Salem at night. It was everything I’d hoped for – spooky, historical, informative, relevant - all while chatting with us, giving us personalized information that interested us, and also offered some Salem “insider tips” to make the remaining part of our visit even better. She was enthusiastic, passionate, and knowledgeable about the “darker” lore of Salem. This was undoubtedly a highlight of our brief trip to Salem. I would highly recommend Witch City Walking Tours for anyone looking for something above and beyond the mainstream ghost/witch tours.

Beth is literally the best tour guide in Salem. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history but also energetic and entertaining.
