Better than the rest! - Very historically accurate and in depth overview of the Witch Trials. She was fun and very nice. She definitely enjoys her research because we got so much more info than what you see on YouTube or front main stream sources. She does a great job of relating it to actual life and more modern times. I would highly recommend this tour!

A Great Tour from a True Historian! - This was an awesome experience! Krystina was so knowledgeable and a true historian, so it felt like learning the information from her was the right choice! She took us around a few streets in Salem to different locations that had to do with the witch trials. She was funny, explained things in ways that were easy to understand, and had a very in-depth understanding of the events and stories that had to do with this time period. My parents and I were commenting afterwards about how she was such a great storyteller! She mentioned about hearing more on her podcast and we actually listened to it on the way home! We would certainly take other tours from her in the future!

Do Not Miss! - Christina was amazing! She was so engaging and knowledgeable. We had such a great time on this tour! Christina really seemed excited by the questions all of the teens had for her and her enthusiasm showed as she spent time answering each and every question. All seven of us on the tour will recommend this trip to anyone we know traveling to Salem. DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR!
