ONE TOUR WORTH TAKING - This is my second time taking Karen's AM Coffee tour.
Ibtook it this week and last October.
Karen is knowledgeable, outgoing and friendly. She taught my family and I so many things about Salem.
The tour is upbeat and fun. My 14 year old granddaughter enjoyed the tour !
I would suggest you take Karen's tour when you first arrive in Salem. It will help you plan the rest of your trip !
Buy your tickets in advance, this tour books up fast.

JUST AMAZING! - Went with my mother for my birthday weekend. First of all, Karen is THE BEST! She was so knowledgeable and fun. My mom and I learned so much about the history of Salem (there were no witches in Salem in the 1600s haha) and how it connects to the city present day. We’re from out of town, and Karen showed us so many cute little spots. I cannot recommend this tour, and Karen specifically, enough. Definitely a wonderful experience!

First thing to do when you get to Salem! - Karen is absolutely amazing! My sister and I enjoyed the coffee, treat, history and knowledge of yummy places to eat. Her spice tasting was fabulous and we walked away with several of her blends. This is a great first thing to do in Salem to get your bearings.

Fun afternoon stroll and great way to experience Salem ! - My husband and I had a blast doing the Afternoon Stroll with Karen. We enjoyed all of the stops, supporting local businesses throughout, and trying all of the delicious treats! This was an excellent way to experience Salem for the afternoon and we loved learning all of the history! Thank you Karen! Highly recommend to all!!

Interesting history, very kind tour guide - Great tour! Karen was super nice, and I learned a lot of cool stuff about the history of Salem's maritime trade. It was a very hot day, and Karen gave us plenty of opportunities to cool off in the shade and reminded us to drink water along the way. The breakfast was delicious, too, and Karen gave a lot of great food recommendations along the way.

An Afternoon Stroll - Karen is AMAZING! She is very knowledgable about everything Salem, not just the food aspects. She was very forthcoming with information and willing to answer any questions you may have. We did FOUR different tours in our two day trip and hers was THE best. The places she took us to try food were outstanding and the information she gave was hugely valuable. We did the afternoon stroll first thing upon arriving to Salem and it was the best decision as Karen gave us great advice and ideas on what to do and see for the rest of our stay. I cannot say enough good things about this tour and would recommend to anyone and everyone who is looking to go to Salem.

Best tour ever! - We did the AM coffee walk our first morning here and it was absolutely the best tour I have ever done anywhere. Karen is such a great tour guide and you tell she's very passionate about her job. We learned all about the history of Salem, beyond the witch trials, as well as places to see, eat and shop! The spice tour at the end was wonderful! If we come back we are definitely doing the longer tour.

Excellent tour! - Karen is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Salem! We tasted some delicious things but we also learned a lot about the non-witchy history of Salem! I would strongly recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your time visiting Salem so you can take advantage of Karen’s hints on where to eat and shop! We thoroughly enjoyed it!
