Nancy was our guide for this trip. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable, she was passionate about the history which really made the tour enjoyable. More importantly, the history lesson was better than anything I ever learned in school.

I cannot say enough good things about the 1692 Witch Trials Walking Tour. My fiancee and I wanted to do something fun on a Saturday and we thought a walking tour of the infamous Salem Witch Trials would be a light diversion at best, perhaps campy harmless fun at worst. Were we ever surprised by how informative and engaging this tour is! Our guide, Nancy, was personable, approachable, entertaining, and most importantly, knowledgeable. For a couple of history geeks like us, the 90 minutes just flew by. My Partner has read up quite a bit about the Witch Trials, having some personal ties to them through land ownership, and even she gained new information from this tour. This is no wax museum spooky story show. This is about the period, the social, religious, and economic climate of the time, the geography of the area, and dispelling common myths and misinterpretations. You get a very clear sense of what it must have been like to be a Puritan in 1692, and what caused this mass hysteria. We both walked away more than satisfied, and I would have happily paid double the ticket price.

We extended our Witchcraft Tour to 90 minutes because there is so much information. It is such a compelling time in our history. We're so glad you had such a positive experience and thank you for the review.

Really fun group to walk around with and very informative tour guide to hear the real details of the witch trials. Tour guide also did ghost tours and tried to contact some of the victims of the witch trials, I'm a little skeptical but it was a bit of fun I guess if you believe in ghosts.

Thank you. We're glad you enjoyed the tour. Our guides are very informative. We just want to clarify that this particular guide uses energy rods on the ghost tour only and not the witchcraft walk.
