Wasted 1.5 hours seeing places where things used to be. The first stop was in a roadway median where a house was pointed out but that wasn’t the house that used to be there. Saw businesses where orchards used to be and apartments where fields used to be. Never took us to anything that was relevant to the witch trials. We found the witch memorial on our own time. Get a map and save your $.

It has been 300 years and the Puritans tore down a lot of the buildings that were here. Part of that is wanting to erase history and another part is just progress. Only the Witch House remains and that is really the house of one of the judges. No tour in the city can go to an actual structure. What you do get on our tour is incredible history and stories that you cannot get anywhere else in the city. We will tell you the truth about what was really happening in 1692.

Our tour guide, Nancy, was super informative and knew her stuff! Great story teller and offered a lot of insight that brought you back to that time as if you were there in midst of all the trials. Amazing experience and def recommend!

Our guild, Nick, did a very good job in giving history on the witch time periods and what happens. Note this tour walks about 1.5 hour and Isn’t about attractions or seeing detail areas. This is a walk that talks about history in general areas. Nick is very knowledgeable.

Thank you. Nick does a great job. There are very few locations that remain from 1692. One is a judge's house, but otherwise we go to the locations wehere the courthouse, jail and people lived.
