Salem On Foot Walking Tours

Overview

Take an easy, 90-minute guided tour through the city's streets and stories to explore the events that shaped Salem, and still cast long shadows today. You'll hear about witches and Puritans, of course, but also about Nathaniel Hawthorne, the exotic spice trade, a Revolutionary War standoff, and the Great Fire that nearly wiped Salem off the map. We'll even visit one of the oldest graveyards in the nation!

Rory, our guide, is an encyclopedia of Salem history! So many interesting facts that reinforce and dispel facts and myths that surround this little hamlet. He even referred us to a wonderful, pet friendly restaurant for lunch. If you are more interested in history than just the witch trials this is the tour for you

My husband and I took this walking tour with Rory last night and had a wonderful time! Rory was knowledgeable, kind, funny, and created such a great experience. We were the only ones in our tour, too, so I was so pleased that even though it was just us, he kept our reservation. I highly recommend this walking tour full of the real history. Rory, it was a pleasure!
