Highly Engaging Tour for Middle Schoolers! - We attended this tour with 6, 13 year old Girl Scouts and a few moms starting a 10am. I cannot express how wonderful our experience was. Alicia , the tour guide was super animated and absolutely knew her audience. She not only kept the teens engaged but the moms as well! The tour was a little over an hour and not one girl pulled out their phone and started scrolling or had to be reminded to pay attention! Alicia kept them moving and made history fun! The loves visiting Ropes Mansion and Town Hall from Hocus Pocus and the witch memorial by the cemetery. I highly recommend this tour especially for Girl Scouts!

Fantastic kid oriented tour guide in Salem - We went on the slightly spooky tour with Alicia this week. It was such a wonderful experience! Our oldest (11) called it the best part of our day. Alicia was engaging, knowledgeable, patient with kid questions, excellent at redirection (our group included an upcoming kindergartener through 5th grade), and generally just a lot of fun. 10/10 recommend especially if you have kids who ask a lot of questions or are kinda intense 😂. She knows her stuff! We will def book another tour with her the next time we are in salem, per the kids’ requests.

Awesome experience! - My kids and I had the kids tour with Alicia, she was amazing and kept my kids engaged the entire tour. At the end of the day, I asked my kids their favorite part and it was hands down the tour with Alicia.

Great Tour for Families - Our family was in town for Memorial Day weekend and we booked this tour as an introduction to Salem. Alicia was an outstanding tour guide-she was funny, engaging, and she made the tour so interesting! It was honestly one of my favorite guided tours ever, and my kids (9 and 12) and husband had a blast as well. Would highly recommend!

Excellent, highly recommend!! - We booked a tour with Alicia today, it was in the off season so it was just the four of us. It was very interesting, not only did we learn about the Witch trials, we learned about other historic sites. She was very kind, animated and it was just long enough. Our kids were 12 & 14 and found it engaging. We really love this stuff and we all liked it. Highly recommend if you are looking for something to fill in some of your time in Salem!

Fun activity - There were 5 kids ages 2-7 on our tour. Our guide spoke on a level that kept all of the children interested & she included them in the storytelling. The adults also enjoyed the history & the details about the lives of Salem past. Excellent activity for young & old. Not too much walking, each stop provided a break as we listened & learned some interesting history told in a lighthearted way.

Amazing for kids! - We toured with Alicia yesterday and honestly it was so good, we are delighted we booked the tour for the kids. Alicia kept her audience's attention ,kids and adults, the whole time, her bag of tricks added to the whole thing! We had wandered Salem during the day and her tour pulled it all together in the evening with her wonderful story telling. I would definitely recommend you do this if you have kids.
