Beth was amazing! She was super interactive and knowledgeable about the history of Salem. Would definitely recommend going at night as it adds a spooky feel to the tour. Beth even got us cookies half way through the tour which were absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this tour and ask for Beth!

Beth was phenomenal. Had space for a same day booking and had great stories and tall tales to tell that weren't ALL centered around the Salem Witch trials.

Hi Gabby, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. It was so much fun having you, your sister and your friend on the tour. It made it a very memorable experience. Sometimes it's a nice break to hear stories other than the witch trials....and we have a LOT of dark history here in Salem! Finally, I'm so glad you enjoyed the cookies from Goodnight Fatty! All the best, Beth
