Highly recommend this Witch City Walking Tour

Diane is an excellent tour guide. Highly knowledgeable, speaks clearly and moved at a good pace while allowing for questions. This tour covers not just the witch hysteria (and injustice) of 1692 but also history of the city and area.

Best Tour EVER!!!!

Published on Jan, 2025

First and foremost, I lived in Charleston, SC for 4 years, and I’ve done a ton of ghost, history, and spooky tours. My wife and I came to Salem as part of our honeymoon trip (Married 1/25 tour on 1/30). I can hands down say, this was the best tour I have EVER been on! Ryan the guide was absolutely incredible! The joy and passion shown made the entire tour, we couldn’t even tell it was 14 degrees! I can’t recommend this tour enough! I’ll be telling anyone I know visiting Salem to do this tour and request Ryan! It literally was the cherry on top of our entire trip! Thank you Ryan, so much, for making this South Carolina couples honeymoon that much more memorable! You were and are INCREDIBLE! Keep that passion!

A Chilling Walk Through Salem's History

Published on Jan, 2025

This walking tour exceeded all expectations! Our guide, Heidi, was incredibly knowledgeable and captivating. She wove together historical facts, chilling ghost stories, and local legends in a way that was both informative and entertaining. We explored Salem's dark history, from the infamous witch trials to the city's more recent paranormal encounters. The tour was well-paced despite the cold weather, allowing us to soak in the atmosphere of each location. Heidi's passion for the subject was contagious. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested learning about Salem.
