Recommend - It was very interesting seeing a lot of the original things that were used by people 200 years ago. I loved the bedroom/ birthing room. I loved the character the house has.

Had a great time! - It was a great tour! Very friendly, funny guide. She showed us the Hocus Pocus spots, as well as some other things that were filmed in Salem. Also gave some good history of Salem.

Too fast to keep up - I am sure the tour would have been great but the guide would not slow down enough for my handicap mother and us to catch up before he was done and moving on to the next stop. We were in a wheelchair and he just didn’t seem to care. We left after missing 3 stops

Bored of the lack of context - There was a great lack in context for a lot of the content leaving me and my travel partners confused for most of the tour. Since we couldn’t understand what our guide was talking about it was very dull.

Waste of time and money. - The most expensive yet worst tour we did while in Salem. Complete waste of money. Our tour guide Amber didn't even take us to all the places stated on the itinerary, she said it was “too busy” to take us to them all. She also rambled on the entire time about her own opinions/likes/dislikes and things none of us in the group even knew what she was talking about. I also felt like the itinerary was very misleading when it showed “free admission” under the stops, such as the ropes mansion and the witch house. I took that to mean we would be able to go into these places. I didn’t buy tickets to these places because I thought we would be able to go in on the tour, which was not the case. We barely got to see them. Very disappointed that I missed out on things I really wanted to see while in Salem because of this tour. I could have skipped the tour all together and done things I actually wanted to do that weren’t a waste of time. Don’t waste your time or money on this tour. 10/10 do not recommend.
