Our tour guide, Bob, was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I learned a lot on this tour. Would recommend doing this earlier in the day before you walk around a lot because this tour is a lot of standing/walking!

We ended up ditching the tour after 30 minutes. The tour guide didn’t share any history details about the witch trials but force feed us his political views on his dislike for religion, the people of Salem and Massachusetts in general. He took us into smelly dirty allies and in the 30 min we literally walked in a circle.

Our witchcraft history tour deals with what happened in Salem. How it started and ended with stories of people and incidents in between. We do not get into politics. We discuss the religion of the time. We go to several places. The alley is where the first church was located. We also go to the court, Judge's locations, Corey pressing site, Bridget Bishop's location and more if there is time.
