Salem was bewitched - My tour guide, Allli was a lot of fun! She brought humor to a dark subject. It was interesting to hear the impact Elizabeth Montgomery had on the city. I also liked seeing the memorial. It was very educational!

Best tour in Salem! - We had some trouble and were running late and the group waited for us even though it was cold outside - thanks to them we didn't miss a thing. Our guide was informative and funny. She even asked about people's interests and tailored the tour to fit. Even after the tour was over she walked us across town to see the Witches house. The history was amazing and the buildings beautiful but it was our guide that made this tour the best!

Start your visit to Salem with this walking tour to guide you for the remainder of your trip. - Our Tour Guide was Allie. The tour was a great addition to our quick trip to Salem. We didn't have a lot of time to spend in Salem and the walking tour was a perfect way to gather the necessary info on the history of the witch trials. Our guide was able to mix some humor with history and added a lot of other great tidbits and stories that made our visit more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to enhance your visit to Salem.

Good guide. Bad parking/bathrooms - Great tour guide! Interesting history. Parking was not good, nor was bathroom availability, and we were there on a Thursday.

Allie is the best! Perfect walking tour! - This tour was perfect! Allie was the perfect guide. She is a local, knows the history, and has a great sense of humor. #spookyramen. We only had 6 in our group at 6:00 pm, where every other tour had over 40.
It was also a quick 1 hour. Hot all the landmarks and after walking a full day, we didn’t feel exhausted by a long tour.

Best guide is Ally - This tour was far and beyond the best historical tour I’ve ever been on. It was informative, serious when it needed to be, and funny when it was appropriate to be. Our guide, Ally, did an incredible job. I if I visit Salem again I selfishly hope that she is still giving tours. But really I hope that she got her spooky ramen tours up and running.

Better to do a self-guided tour. - Unfortunately the tour wasn’t very engaging, and not informative enough for our liking. The guide was very friendly but kept repeating himself like he was trying to hit the 10-minute mark on a YouTube video. The tour also didn’t end in the same location as it started, unlike what was stated on the description.
