Very glad you enjoyed the tour. Nancy does a great job. She is a teacher and has been studying the trials for 25 years.

Excellent and informative. Giovanni/guide was well versed in the complicated matters of 1692. Very engaging and spent extra time with us, as we were a small group and the weather was perfect. Highly recommend to anyone interested in this sad but intriguing time in history. Giovanni creates a comfortable atmosphere for questions, and opinions. A great experience!

Thank you so much. Very happy you enjoyed it. It is such an incredible story and it is so complex. There was so much going on in a short period of time.

Tour guide rambled on and on with minutia and missed most of the highlights. Tour route only included 4 spots (in 1.5 hours) and those spots held almost no relevance to the witch trials (ex. site of well where people went to gossip). At least 1/3 of group left before the end. Save your money and use Google for more information about the witch trials.
