Best Salem Tour for Kids - We had such a wonderful tour with Alicia. She knew how to keep the kids engaged, sharing lots of information about Salem’s history in a way that was not too overwhelming. She was kind and funny and everyone in our group of 3 Moms and 7 kids aged 5-10 enjoyed it. Highly recommend!

A must for families with kids!! - Alicia was amazing! She was so incredible with the kids, making sure they were front and center and engaged the whole time. She was excellent at telling stories about the area in a way that was both interesting and informative. I know she was tailoring it for the kids, but my husband and I agreed that we both got so much out of it as well and found it so enjoyable. She had so much information to share and was happy to answer additional questions. Highly recommend if you are traveling with kids!! Ours are 7 and 10 and they loved it. Thank you so much!!

Excellent for Children of All Ages! - We loved our tour with Alicia! We were travelling with our 3 kids (6, 3, and under 1) and wanted to give them a little background on Salem. I was worried about how to talk about the witch trials with my kids, as they are young, but Alicia did a flawless job. They had a better understanding of the area and all of us enjoyed our entire trip more as a result. Highly recommend this tour if you are travelling with young kids, especially if you can go early in your trip so your kids have some background!

Pleasant Tour - Our guide was great with kids, she was engaged and interactive with them. My kiddo thoroughly enjoyed the stories. My other kiddo was shy but guide the still inclusive. If you’re not looking to walk miles this one is good for you. Kids (ours and others) fuzziness was handled well by the guide.

This tour is a must! - Alicia does not deserve anything less than 5 stars. She is funny, entertaining and truly Salems Ms. Frizzle. My kids are 12, 9, and 7 and they were the perfect age for this tour. They were fully engaged with Alicia’s interactive storytelling, and didn’t have a single complaint. My husband and I enjoyed it just as much as the kids. Do not miss the opportunity to take this tour! 10/10!
