Perfect tour and guide!
danyalees, October 2026
My husband and I visited Salem in October and booked the Bewitched History Tour, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. Sarah was an absolutely fantastic guide. She was knowledgeable, engaging, funny, and incredibly well-prepared. You can tell she genuinely loves Salem and its history, and that enthusiasm is contagious. She provided historical context, corrected common misconceptions, and made the events of 1692 feel real and personal. We've taken a lot of tours over the years, and Sarah ranks among the very best guides we've ever had. She kept the group engaged from start to finish and answered questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. The tour gave us a much deeper appreciation for Salem, and we found ourselves revisiting places and stories she discussed throughout the rest of our stay. In fact, we're still talking about it after returning home. If you're looking for a Salem tour, this is the one to book, and Sarah is the guide you want. Thank you for helping make our Salem trip so memorable. We would recommend this tour without hesitation to anyone visiting the city.

Incredible, Knowledgeable, and So Much Fun!
allysonm3286, October 2026
We had such an amazing experience on our Bewitched Tour of Salem, and that was all thanks to Sarah! She was an absolute standout guide. Sarah seamlessly blended deep historical accuracy with fun pop culture references, bringing the story of the 1692 Salem witch trials to life while keeping things engaging and entertained the whole way through. We learned so much more than we ever expected about the real history, the community dynamics of the time, and how Salem's history connects to modern folklore and pop culture today. Her storytelling, energy, and passion for Salem made this tour one of the absolute highlights of our trip. If you’re visiting Salem, do yourself a favor and request Sarah and take this tour - she is truly fantastic!

Bewitched!
Heather_M, October 2026
This experience was easy to book and easy to get to. Sarah the guide was very knowledgeable and respectful of the events that took place during the witch trials. There was a little pop culture but mostly local events and circumstances. My visit was in October so there were a lot of people but it was fun. The walking was easy. In our tour we had a person with a crutch and they were able to maneuver everything.

Worth Every Penny & More
hannahbI5844NM, October 2026
We started very promptly on time, which we appreciated very much. The walking portion was not too little or too much, and the guide Sarah was incredible. So knowledgeable and you could tell she really enjoys what she does. Definitely one of the highlights of our day in Salem.
