Great mix - This tour was awesome! We had Daniel as our tour guide. A great mix of witch lore & other Salem history such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, the Peabody sisters, and National Guard

Entertaining history lesson! - We had a fabulous experience during our historical tour. It was quite crowded in Salem on the day we visited but it was to be expected. The tour met promptly at the meeting spot and our tour guide was quite knowledgeable and very engaging.

Black Cat Historical Tours with Jeremiah - Jeremiah was an outstanding and dapper gentleman. He was a true story teller. He took his time, answered questions, and brought humor to an otherwise morbid history of the town.

Boring Tour Guide - It was extremely noisy, I could barely hear the tour guide. Guide had no energy. I have been on 4 different Salem tours over the last 4 years. This was by far the most boring tour that I have been on. It was so bad that we left in the middle of the tour.
