Begin your morning with a guided walk at 10AM. Book the historical tour with the guide, Kenneth Glover who is the owner of Salem Walking Tours. A commercial tour with heart. While many Salem tours talk ghosts, he instead provides a pleasant and well presented historical tour. The tour begins with a description of Naumkeag, a settlement of the Massachusett people and a colonial English fishing plantation. Learn about Salem's Puritans, their culture and something about the Witch Trials too. Discover also a seaside community with its contributions to the American Revolution. The rebellious town that was at the center of the North American spice trade.
The tour is delivered in an entertaining storytelling style with integrity. He use quotes, anecdotes, conversation, fun facts and traditional song to present the history. The backdrop of this tour are the scenic streets and historic buildings of the McIntire district and Downtown Salem that have witnessed the stories Kenneth tells.

Highly recommend Kenneth! He was shared his knowledge in a way that was enjoyable for us as parents and my teenage son. He was also a very kind and compassionate person, not important for the tour, but it's wonderful to support people that care about the community and world.

Today's tour with Ken was beyond tremendous! He is fun, warmly welcoming, and exceptionally knowledgeable about all of Salem's history. He sticks to the facts, not fabricated legends. We could not have asked for a better walking tour and we would recommend it to anyone.

Sinister Stories of Salem with Kenneth Dike-Glover is hands-down the best tour you will ever experience. He is extremely knowledgeable, a great storyteller, and an impressive singer. All of that aside, Kenneth is, above all, kind and a genuinely good person. You will learn so much. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.

Kenneth was extremely knowledgeable and managed to share that knowledge while keeping the conversation casual, engaging and surprisingly entertaining. We especially appreciated his attention to the facts versus fiction and the of the overall relevance of the specific points in history to the larger aspects of both European and American history. Lastly, and so unexpected, what a singing voice! On a cold, dusky evening, his voice filled the garden with vibrant color while he shared, a capella, a 15th century Dutch hymn. The time was well spent and very enjoyable.

This tour is a special gem not to be missed! Kenneth is a gifted storyteller, performer and all around fabulous guide. He is witty and well versed in the history of not only Salem but why what was happening in Salem beyond the witch trials was significant to the future of our country. Don’t worry, there’s plenty to hear about the witch trials too! But there is so much more to Salem’s history than that, and Kenneth makes the ghosts and buildings of Salem come alive by weaving interesting stories about the people and happenings of that time with his own stories of Salem in the present. This tour has a bit of everything and Kenneth does a fine job of tailoring the tour to the interests of the group. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and can not recommend enough!

Most memorable moment during the tour was in the Ropes Mansion Garden when Kenneth, our tour guide, sang a psalms prayer. We were all in awe of the moment and other folks nearby just stopped and listened. It was calming and spiritual at the very least. God bless him and his talent🙏

it’s hard to pick a favorite moment from Ken’s tour- too many! although- his song at the end was beautiful! Ken’s presentation of Salem’s history- the people who founded the area and how it came to be what it is today was so interesting and from the heart- showing compassion for those he spoke about and their place in time. my group’s age range was 12-62- and every one of us listened intently for 2 1/2 hours on a very rainy day and could have stayed for more! Ken has a wonderful way of sharing the good and the bad -also the very amusing history of the people that came before! His knowledge was endless - i encourage everyone that visits Salem and has the opportunity to take ‘a walk’ with Ken Glover to put it at the TOP of their must do list! Besides being a incredibly knowledgeable on a wide range of topics- he is kind and compassionate and everyone can use someone like him in their lives- even if for only 2 1/2 hours!
