Samantha was an outstanding guide. My daughter and I had a blast Samantha had pictures and videos on her phone that coincided with the locations we visited. She did her research and was very knowledgeable. The tour didn't feel rushed and we was very personable with everyone of us

We had a fantastic time 2 nights in a row. The first night was with Leanne for the Mysteries and Murders tour. The second night was with Violet for the History and Hauntings tour. There were 3 stops the overlapped between the two tours, but each tour guide presented the details in a different way, making the experience unique. The other stops were unique to each tour. We learned so much about Salem's history and saw a lot of the city. Both tour guides were knowledgeable and fun. I would absolutely do another tour with Witch City Walking Tours the next time I visit Salem!
