It was so educational and very interesting! I luved the tour guide and really enjoyed the tour. It also helped me get to know the areas in Salem as we were walking.

Awesome tour! Rebecca was extremely friendly and knowledgeable—it felt like we learned a lot in a very short amount of time, and we saw a lot of sites we wouldn’t have found on our own. The guide also gave very thoughtful answers to our many questions. It was a delightful way to get acquainted with the history of the witch trials—I highly recommend!

We were heading to Salem for the day and took the day tour. Rebecca was awesome. She really knew all tidbits about the witch trials and answered all the questions we threw at her. My daughter is reading the crucible and Rebecca was able to clarify a lot things she couldn’t wrap her head around. I would highly recommend the tour. She also recommended several of the local restaurants and was spot on. We had a great early supper and an amazing day.
