Excellent tour with Jeffrey. My 11 year old said it was his favorite part of our day in Salem. Jeffrey is very personable and a true historian. He did a terrific job, explaining all the events that eventually lead to the Salem witch trials in a way that was thoughtful, compassionate and thought-provoking. October is a crazy month to be in Salem, but he managed to find quieter spots to be sure everyone could hear him when speaking.

My family and I went to Salem Massachusetts before Halloween and we all collectively agree this walking tour was the highlight of our mini vacation! Our guide was incredibly informative and kept our attention with his sense of humor and extensive knowledge of the city's dark past. We passed a few other tour guides and groups throughout the night and from what I saw I would say we truly lucked out on choosing this company. Overall, it was a unique and immersive experience that left us eager to uncover more local history and mysteries. This tour was the cheapest activity we had planned and turned out to be the most worthwhile activity of our trip. Highly recommend!!!

What a fun tour! Our guide Jeffrey really is such a great storyteller. He really knows his city and you can just tell that he loves its history. From the burying grounds to the famous “Blood, blood, blood…” murder in Salem headlines he captured our interest.
Highly recommended!

It felt like he was just going through the motions. There is not a lot of substance in Salem to actually see or experience. On other tours we actually walked into the cemetery and looked for individual landmarks basically we walked around some back alleys I would not recommend this tour.

Jeff was an absolute pleasure to hear all the hidden and usual stories of Salem. A little over 90 mins, so bring them walkin shoes, because Jeff will weave you through the streets of downtown salem. Do you learn about the witches? Sure. However, he is very well adverse in other stories, facts, and history about this haunted little town. Equal parts education and entertainment, i would highly suggest this tour for everyone. Hes a personable person, and even has a joke or two along the way. Looking forward to booking another tour when in town next time.

We showed up at our scheduled time and there was a total of 50 people in our group with one tour guide. It made it impossible to hear anything the guide was saying. We left the tour after the second stop. I reached out to the owner and never received any comment back on my concerns from over a week ago. I would not recommend this company. We saw other groups operating in Salem with way less people.

We did the Better than Fiction night tour with Jeff and it was excellent! He was very informative and knowledgable about the history of Salem. He took us to many different sites and thouroughly explained how each was important. He accepted and answered any question that came his way. We would 100% recommend this company and night tour when looking for a fun and educational activity in Salem💀🎃

Our tour guide was so knowledgeable. We learned real history and spooky Salem stories. Our tour group was not overly crowded and we were able to walk through the streets easily. As a plus sized woman I was worried about the walk but I managed to stay with the group and complete the entire tour. It was so much fun. My tour was at night which made things more spooky. If you are interested in seeing the buildings and sites in more detail I suggest a day tour. I booked months in advance as my trip was in October during the week.

My husband and I were looking for a walking tour since we were only in salem for a weekend getaway. We highly recommend this tour. Our guide was super knowledgeable and made it fun without being super cheesy like other tours. We hope to book the night time tour on our next trip back to salem! Keep up the great work!! I also really liked your shoes lol

We were in Salem for our wedding trip. We joined Jeffrey’s night tour on 10/25, and it was easily the best tour of our visit. He was funny, informative, and, honestly, much more entertaining than the other two tours we went on during our trip. I would highly recommend this tour company.
