    Movie filming spot for Hocus Pocus!
    Jessica A.

    Sebastian was an amazing tour guide. He was very passionate and knowledgeable about the history of Salem and the tales of the Salem ghosts! Plus, his hair was fabulous! Thanks for the great tour! The Salem Night Tour company was very accommodating for our group because we had gotten lost trying to find the tour the 1st night, but they were able to get us on the next day! Would highly recommend this place! Loved that Sebastian had a walking lantern! Really added to the spooky vibe!

    The Anti Valentine's Day tour was so fun. Our guide Penny was informative, funny and so much fun. She really got the group engaged and that always makes trips like this more fun. The warm trolly was a perfect way to get around and see the sights while staying safe and defrosted. Highly recommend. Lots of fun.

    We really enjoyed our Salem Night Tour with Bobby Kerrigan. Our tour was very informative and entertaining. We enjoyed that this was more of a history tour than a ghost tour, although Bobby pointed out a few of the major "haunted" spots in town and explained their back story. We went in February and it was cold and snowy. We enjoyed braving the elements and it also means there are very few tourists around. Just dress warm, wear weather-proof footwear and bring an umbrella.

    It was a great tour! Very informative with some good jokes thrown in for entertainment.

    On a whim took this tour with our guide, April. We had so much fun. The knowledge she had on Salem and the facts she provides in a comical way as well is just what makes this tour interesting especially in 30 degree weather in December!

    An outstanding experience with Bobby Kerrigan. The tour was so entertaining (with delightfully terrible dad jokes) and educating on all things witch trials with a sprinkling of pop culture.

    Not haunted, allegedly, but they shot the dance sequence of hocus pocus here!

    Talk about the cherry on top of our day in Salem! Elaina was an amazing tour guide, very funny, dry humor and super sarcastic! Her story telling was great and I loved learning more of the history and the possibility of catching a ghost on camera. One recommendation is to get their EARLY. If you go in October get there at least 30 minutes before your tour and any other time during the year I'd try and get there 20 minutes before. We did start our tour early which was fine but a few people were not happy... HOWEVER, Elaina turned it around real quick and everyone was spooked, laughing and interacting by the end! Highly HIGHLY recommend this Salem tour!

    Favorite library of Nathaniel Hawthorne.

    We were able to squeeze into this tour last minute and I'm glad we did because it was informative as it was entertaining. However, there are a few things you need to know before going. They have multiple tour guides all focusing on the same locations but with their own flair. For example, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, but he did not dwell on the details. Instead, he gave more of a historical overview of each location and later tied it to the supernatural, which was great because I'm more about the history than the supernatural stuff. Other guides that I overheard gave more of a dramatic retelling of certain stories tied to certain locations. So, it's a dice roll for what flavor of tour guide you and your group will receive. You can only purchase tickets online and once you do the email will tell you to meet at 127 Essex Street 30 minutes prior to the tour start time. It is crucial that you do just that because they will start early if most people are present. I highly recommend this tour and I recommend you do it early in your visit so that you and your party can truly appreciate Salem throughout your entire trip. Also, so you can pinpoint what locations you want to revisit prior to leaving. Tours and trolleys are truly the best way to get to know the location you're in, especially in the short amount of time you're there.

    Is this tour scary for children?

    The tour is family friendly and when we were on it there were tons of children. It's more historical than it is scary :)

    I found Hocus Pocus Tours while seeking things to do in Salem on Yelp and TripAdvisor. Fellow…read moreYelpers' rave reviews did not disappoint! In messaging Hocus Pocus Tours with a couple questions about the tour and travel to and from Salem, the owner Susan replied immediately and suggested that I call her. This led to a one hour phone conversation where Susan was so gracious with her time, knowledge, and suggestions, not just about how to make the most of the tour, but how to appreciate a day in Salem. I can see why those who had the opportunity to take the in-person tour with Susan really enjoyed it. Covid changed the business model and Hocus Pocus now offers a self-guided tour by purchasing one of two tour apps. I opted for the $19.99 grand tour and it was well worth it. It has 37 points of interest. The app is user friendly and well designed. It provides a map of all stops, tracks where you are, and guides you to the next stop that you select on the tour. When you get to your stop, you can confirm you're at the right spot by comparing a photo of the site with what you see. Then you click on a 2-3 minute audio recording that provides a great snapshot of the significance of the site. As Susan had pointed out to me, there is much more to Salem than the historic witchcraft trials. It includes author Nathaniel Hawthorne's The House of Seven Gables, America's oldest candy company, and other interesting sites. Of everything I visited, I experienced a very deep emotional connection with the 1692 Witchcraft Memorial with 20 stones dedicated to each of the victims of the witchcraft trial. The tour includes brief descriptions of some of the victims including those written about in Arthur Miller's The Crucible. If you plan to visit Salem, I highly recommend this tour. All sites can be visited on the outside and some on the inside at no charge. Some sites, such as The House of Seven Gables, charge separate admission fees. If you want to travel to Salem and don't have a car, the ferry from Boston offers a nice, scenic, and entertaining 50 minute ride. The commuter trains run more frequently and can come in handy if the ferry schedule coming or going doesn't meet your needs. There are plenty of good places to dine at to break up the tour. We had lunch at FINZ and really enjoyed it (I'll post separately about that).

    This was legit SO much fun! The name Hocus Pocus kinda throws you off because you may be thinking…read moreabout the movie, but this tour really is amazing. Start off with the tour guides, extremely friendly and beyond knowledgeable. They really know their history for Salem. The tour itself was a few hours and you walk to all of the sites in Salem with historical significance. There is so much to learn from Salem. So much history and heartbreak. It really is eye opening to hear the stories oof the witch trials and how the witch trials began and who all was wrongly persecuted. The tour guides were so nice and explained everything with such great details. This tour was definitely the highlight of our trip in Salem. I highly highly recommend Hocus Pocus Tours, I learned so much regarding Salem, the witch trials, the history behind the two, and a little bit of Hocus Pocus and Bewitched. So much fun!

The tour guide, Kenneth, is amazing! He had a huge impact on my visit to Salem even though my only time spent with him was on the tour. He's an amazing guide, performer, and story-teller with a great heart. I can't say enough good stuff about him! I booked this tour the morning of, and I decided to take a 5pm show. I guess that was a little early because no one else was there! When Kenneth showed up, I asked him if he would rather me wait for the later tour but he said it was up to me and does not mind taking me on the tour by myself. Wow... What a cool treat! Especially since it was so cheap for about 3 hours of his time (about twice as long as the original time posted). So I agreed and we proceeded to walk. I don't want to give away all of the details, but seriously, if you love history and theatre, take this tour! Kenneth acts out the scenes at almost every place we stopped. He had tons of information about Salem and lots of mind-boggling personal stories as well. He sings beautiful, heart-wrenching songs that he wrote. You can tell that he put a lot of work and thought into making this the best tour in Salem (I went on 4 tours while I was there and they were pretty mediocre). Kenneth said that he also changes up the tour so you will get something different every time you take it! It will not disappoint! Oh and at the end, there's an amazing surprise. Keep an open mind and have fun! If you're in Salem, you should already have an open-mind. I had such an amazing time that I tipped Kenneth well at the end of the tour. It was well worth the $15-20 (I can't remember) I paid for the tour. I really appreciated everything he did and I will be touring with him on my next visit to Salem! Wish you love and luck all the way from LA!

Ken carefully answered all questions, and was diligent about taking any he couldn't answer down so he could find the answer and email us later. He was so thoughtful and knowledgeable!

It's like two blocks from the water and the House of Seven Gables; a few more blocks to the Witch Museum and everything else. We stayed in the Great Room, and it was amazing. There's a fireplace in the bathroom! I don't think it works, but it's still awesome. We also did the house tour, which turned out to be one of my favorite tours for the whole trip. Vijay was our guide (and also our point if contact during our stay), and he was super nice and informative. The house has a rich history, and you can tell that Vijay is really excited to share it. The tour is just the downstairs area, but it was so fascinating that it was totally worth it. When we stayed, they were still giving vouchers to Red's Sandwich Shop, which turned out to be perfect for us. We ate breakfast there most of the trip. I'm a vegetarian, and my husband can't have any dairy, and Red's had something for each of us. I'd recommend everything about the Daniels House, and we'd definitely stay here again.
