127 Essex St
The walk starts at 127 Essex St (Remember Salem). The listing gives the exact spot and what the guide will be holding; 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.

“Nix (Nicks?) was a great guide! Fantastic storyteller, great comedic timing and interaction with the group. Loved them as a guide.”
“Excellent! Guide was great. Funny but not silly. Lots to see and learn, and the tour was able to show and talk about a lot of it.”
“Jim was a good guide. Our group was a bit large. Your prices were good and we learned a lot on the tour. It poured rain but we survived.”
