It was amazing to learn about the witch trials and how Salem became the city it is today! I definitely recommend bundling up and enjoying this tour for anyone wanting to learn about the history of the Salem witch trials.”

Language became an issue as we listened repeatedly to profanity being used. While we appreciated her enthusiasm for the subject, her delivery needs some pointers.”
