★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 850 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $40

2.5-hour Salem walk with Kenneth, beyond witch trials to indigenous, Puritan, Patriot stories, plus Memorial and Old Town Hall.

“Kenneth is an amazing storyteller and such a thoughtful tour guide. He called 5 minutes prior to the tour to ensure we weren’t lost, had umbrellas and ponchos available in case we needed them on the rainy day of our tour. Kenneth gifted us the first candy made commercially in America (Gilbralters). He even sang us a tune. My only constructive criticism is that he spoke a bit over the heads of my pre-teens which made the tour not as enjoyable for them. Otherwise, great experience.”
