The guide just rambled on and on with no real point. He would walk us to different street corners and then ramble on all over the place. We left about halfway through.

We're sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience with us. While our tour guides use names of the accused and other elements to try and bring the history back to life, we try our best to give a cohesive story with all the Witchcraft history.

Hello Laura, Thank you for the great review! We're so pleased to hear you had a fun time with us! As for the tangents you mention we're not sure what you mean as all our tour guides are encouraged to make conversation with guests as the tour goes on.

He was showing points of less interest as other guides were on the right spots. Talking without any emotions as if he was reading! Me and my daughters 16 & 14 got so bored! We left the tour after only 30 min. Very disappointed.

We keep our tour groups to 35-40 people while other companies go 50 or more. This makes it easier to get to the locations and gives ample time for people to catch the group before the guide starts talking. All of our guides use microphones so they are very loud. The crowds start coming to Salem in mid September. A weekend in October can be witness to 100,000 people a day and you need to prepare for that.
