Join your local guide for a fascinating trip back in history as they share the story of Salem’s founding in 1626 by Puritans whose search for religious freedom ultimately ended in a wave of fear, suspicion, and anger that gripped Salem for one fateful year. Your tour will include stops at some of Salem’s most popular locations, and some secluded off-the-beaten-path locations that very few tourists get to experience. Along the way, your guide, an experienced storyteller, will recount details of the witchcraft hysteria & Salem’s unique dark history.
All tours meet at 226 Essex St. Salem- outside of Coon’s Card and Gift Shop.

Absolutely the best tour, Maria was better than great. Zero complaints about anything, I can’t say enough nice things about this tour. Maria’s ability to break down the Salem Witch Trials and put them into context of their time and the town today was incredible. I also can’t say enough about all the other things we learned about Salem, besides the witch trials. I learned so much and just couldn’t wait to share what I learned with others.

The tour guide was excellent. We loved it. Stopped frequently to rest and listen to the guide. We were here on our first Salem trip and had a marvelous time

Maria was phenomenal! So much history and she kept it entertaining the whole time. Everyone in the group truly enjoyed themselves. She did an amazing job taking us step by step through the city while telling us all the ins and outs of the history of Salem. She even gave us local tips of places to check out and places to grab a bite to eat. I will definitely be recommending this tour to others! 10/10!!

Learning more of the real history of Salem and the Witch Trials. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and was fantastic at telling and explaining the true history of the Colony named Salem and the truth behind the Infamous Witch Trials. I do highly recommend it.

The tour highlighted the area of Salem that had historical value. Much is gone since it was over 300 years ago. Our guide was very friend and knowledgeable

Our tour guide was enthusiastic and very informative. We could not have experienced the city on our own, so taking the Salem's Dark History & Witchcraft Hysteria Guided Walking Tour was the perfect for us. It was just the right length too.

Maria McQuaid, our guide, is a real treasure! She is engaging, energetic, and very knowledgeable. We had a great time on the tour! As an English teacher and avid reader, I especially liked Maria's recommendations for further reading on Salem.
