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 is fantastic! We had friends visiting from Iowa, and they were blown away by how much Rory knew about Salem's history. The pace of the tour was great, and we really enjoyed ourselves. Definitely tour with Rory when you're in Salem.

Rory knows his stuff -- he's an experienced and entertaining speaker, and he's done his research. While we had been to Salem before, and knew some of the history, Rory filled our heads with so much more. Highly recommended.
