Quintessential Witch Trial Tour - My group loved this informative and engaging tour with Krystina! She’s a historian with a deep knowledge of the witch trials and the broader context of Salem/MA history. We learned about all the key players and stories from the period of the witch trials - all told with color and enthusiasm from our guide. It’s clear she is passionate about this history and it’s infectious in the best way. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Salem.

Super nice and we learned so much - I've lived in MA my entire life and I had never been to Salem. My wife set up a day with friends. The tour was one of the highlights of the day for sure. Krystina was super friendly and knows so much. I would highly recommend taking her tour next you're in Salem.

Fun and educational tour experience - The tour was amazing! Very engaging and entertaining. I sometimes find my mind wandering in tours, but Krystina did a great job keeping things interesting the whole two hours, despite how uncomfortable the cold was. I appreciated the expertise Krystina holds as a historian. Learning this history was exactly what I wanted while visiting Salem. I also recommend her podcast, Effed Up History, for short, fun, and informative stories about Salem and otherwise!

History without the drama - Krystina adapted the tone of her tour to our younger group and gave us a great history lesson on Salem witches and beyond! We learned about traditional Salem witches, fictional witches and some more history of Salem. This was a fast-paced trip through Salem with plenty to pay attention to.
