This was a very nice walking tour. We went to a good number of places and our guide explained many things about the town as well as the witch trials. She actually explained things a lot better and more detailed than the Salem Witch Museum did so that was great, and she was able to answer the additional questions asked by the group. Would definitely recommend!

I really liked learning about the Hocus Pocus house. Has no idea about the fire. We plan on spending more time in the garden behind the house. So interesting about the black pepper sales…oh and the tunnels! Wow! Just so much more than the witch trials! Loved the tour!!
