It was just the “Hocus Pocus” we were looking for!! - If you love Hocus Pocus, this is a “must do” tour!! Our guide Hillary was so awesome!! We saw all the great spots, she took the time to get everyone’s photos for them and she made the tour really fun. We learned some great history and had a great time doing it. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely Wonderful!! - The Hocus Pocus Tour was absolutely wonderful. Not only because of the location but because we had the best Guide. Hilary was top notch! Her energy, knowledge and love for the film is what made it for us. Our three children, all under 12, absolutely lover her.

Hocus Pocus Tour - I want to start off by saying how awesome our tour guide was. Micheal was entertaining, informative, and brought the tour to life. He answered all questions, gave great recommendations and was passionate about each story told along the way. It was a lot of walking ( which we knew in advance) but he made it entertaining each step. Seeing all the hocus pocus landmarks from the movie and my childhood was a cool experience. I would recommend checking it out and requesting Micheal as your guide if you can!

History not so much Hocus stuff - It's a nice history tour... if your guide is honest... you will find out so much of the movie is green screen. The 3 main stars were never even in Salem. Billy rising in the cemetery with Binks...all in Hollywood. Our guide was great. New alot about the history, ghosts and witches.

Disappointed - I thought the tour was misleading as most of Hocus Pocus was filmed elsewhere and come to find out the three actresses who played the Sanderson Sisters never even set foot in Salem. Our tour guide was great and full of great energy but that is probably the best and only thing good about this tour. Also I had to cut out halfway through the tour because of the humidity and the distance of the tour because of medical issues I have. Which led to me having cancel the second tour for Bewitched and Viator refused to work with me in issuing a refund for my second tour even though it was due to medical reasons I can’t control..
