This tour covers the history of Salem, Massachusetts. It’s not a tour whose only subject is the Salem Witch Trials.

We do not enter buildings on the tour.

I recommend using the MBTA for weekend visits in October. Demand for parking often outstrips its availability and causes significant traffic delays. Parking information at Salem.org

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are great days to visit Salem in September and October to avoid crowds.

The tour is closed on Wednesday and Sunday.

The tour is conducted in all seasonal weather, including rain and cold. Dress accordingly.

Tour gathers 15 minutes prior to departure. Tour begins promptly.
