We absolutely loved our "witch-guide" Tom! He was super knowledgeable both about current day witches and witchcraft and the history of Salem and the Salem witch trials. It was fascinating to hear him talk about fact and fiction regarding the "tourist" sites around Salem as well as the myths regarding current day witchcraft in Salem and back in the 1600's.... More

There really isn't much to do about the tour. Darkened room, it is in an old church, creepy music and a audio tape to listen to. By a book about it at a local shop, read it and save your money.

We spent the Memorial Weekend in Salem and loved every minute of it. We especially liked this tour, Tom, our tour guide was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Salem and witchcraft, and with him being a witch himself just added that much more to the experience. Tom also loved to answer any questions our group threw... More

My friend booked this tour ahead of time, for our girls weekend getaway.. And what a great tour indeed!!! If it's your first time visiting Salem, MA., than this is THE tour to attend.

This didn't cover as much history as I thought but it was more of a "modern witch tour" which was super interesting. Tom, our tour guide, definitely has the "Tour Guide" thing down. He was funny, entertaining, interesting and made the 90 minute + tour seem very short.

I was a little nervous about this tour because we didn't have much time in Salem and I wanted to learn as much as I could about the historical events - I was afraid it would lean too heavily on the side of explaning witchcraft. The mix was perfect - plenty of information about the history of various religions and... More

Tom, a self - proclaimed witch, explains why Salem is now home to the current population of witches. He explains that at a point in Salem history, residents and tourists could not even mention the witchcraft hysteria of 1692, without being fined or jailed. Salem spice trade history or ghost stories were spoken about on tours then. So what changed?... More

I just love Sara, she did a great job. We got a great tour of Salem and learned all about witchcraft! The Witch Walk was very informative about Salem and modern-day witchcraft, and we got to partake in a magical circle as well!! This is a very charming and educational tour, and I guarantee you will have a lot of... More

This event is so much more than another haunted walk through Salem. It is coupled with a rich history of Salem as well as a magical experience lead by experienced guides.
