Every figure above is read from the tour’s GetYourGuide listing, on 14 September 2026, and moves when the listing moves. Where the listing states nothing — a group size, say — this page states nothing.

Tour route

The listing publishes the stops and their order, nothing more: no distance between them and no time at each, so that is all this route claims. The guide adjusts the order for crowds; the set of places stays the same. 9 stops · starts at 32 Derby Square · ends at Salem Witch Trials Memorial.

  1. 01 32 Derby Square start
  2. 02 Old Town Hall
  3. 03 Essex Street
  4. 04 Bewitched Sculpture
  5. 05 The Witch House
  6. 06 McIntire Historic District
  7. 07 Ropes Mansion and Garden
  8. 08 Chestnut Street District
  9. 09 Salem Witch Trials Memorial end

All stops are exterior and in the historic center unless the listing says otherwise.

Meeting point

Named on the booking confirmation

Exact spot is on the booking confirmation →

The listing does not fix one address for this walk: the meeting point depends on the option booked, and the confirmation names it. Check it the day before, and arrive a few minutes early in October, when several tours share the same corners.

From the commuter rail station it is a short walk. If driving, use a downtown garage and leave the car; the closest streets close on peak weekends. The listing says nothing about restrooms, so use the ones at the station or a cafe before the start.

Quotes are pulled verbatim from the listing's reviews and refreshed with it; we do not write or edit them. Where a rating is below the others on this site we show it as it stands, and the booking button still works.

Very informative and entertaining tour. Topher did a wonderful job and I loved getting the history of Salem beyond what I already knew.”

Mae, 6 October 2025

Our guide was awesome! Very good at explaining the history of Salem, the people and the witch trials. I was hoping for more haunting stories but we only had two hours.”

Kimberly, 8 October 2025

Sean was a wonderful tour guide, historian, and story teller! He told us about the story of the Witch Trials of course but we learned a lot about Salem itself, too. A fantastic tour!”
