Experience of a lifetime!! If you are in Salem this is a must! - This is an amazing experience that is informative on so many levels. Jeffrey was our guide and he was a spectacular guide and he not only imparted an enormous amount of lore and knowledge regarding the witch trials but also did an amazing job of leaving us with an emotional investment into the trials and the people involved. Highlight of our visit to Salem. On a side note Jeffrey is an amazing speaker/entertainer so would definitely suggest any other tour that he hosted. Thanks for a blast!

Not the best - This tour was just okay for us. I was a little bored to be honest. This tour was about the witch trials which I was very interested in, but the tour guide got off topic way too often and I lost interest very quickly. I felt like he talked more about other things instead of the witch trials and Salem in general. Wasn't worth the money spent. Maybe with another tour guide you may have a different experience.
