Fantastic tour! - Rory provided a fantastic tour experience. He was so knowledgeable, articulate, and entertaining! The history (facts and opinions) of the witch trials was fascinating but so were the many other aspects of Salem’s history that he shared. The tour had the right balance of both.

Rory took his time to share some really interesting and spooky stories and history of the witch trials.

Rory Rocked - Rory was our guide and he is absolutely filled with knowledge. We loved that he told us facts and not just filled with unnecessary ghost stories. He was a pleasure!!!
