Take an easy, 90-minute guided tour through the city's streets and stories to explore the events that shaped Salem, and still cast long shadows today. You'll hear about witches and Puritans, of course, but also about Nathaniel Hawthorne, the exotic spice trade, a Revolutionary War standoff, and the Great Fire that nearly wiped Salem off the map. We'll even visit one of the oldest graveyards in the nation!

Q&A

Q: What's the best time of year to do the Salem On Foot Walking Tour? I wanna avoid the crowds!

A: Late September to early October is awesome! The weather's usually perfect, and the fall colors are so pretty. Just a heads up though, Halloween season can get super crowded, so if you want a quieter experience, aim for the week after Salem's Haunted Happenings ends. Plus, the graveyard visit during fall is really atmospheric!

Q: Are there any age limits for the walking tour? I'm thinking about taking my kids.

A: No age limits! Kids are totally welcome, and it can be a neat way for them to learn about history. Just keep in mind that some stories may be a bit intense, especially the witch trials. But overall, most families have a great time!

Q: How's the parking situation around Salem for the walking tour? Don't wanna get stuck!

A: Parking can be tricky during busy seasons! There are some public lots and street parking if you get there early. I'd suggest arriving at least 30 minutes before your tour starts, especially if it's on a weekend. You might also want to consider using public transport or rideshare to ease the hassle.

Just did the Salem On Foot tour, and it was amazing!

Hey folks! I just got back from the Salem On Foot Walking Tour, and it was such a cool experience. Our guide was super knowledgeable and made the history come alive! We spent time at the old graveyard and learned about the Great Fire. Love how it’s not just about the witch trials. If you're into history, I highly recommend this! I’m thinking of gifting this to my sister for her birthday next month.

Thinking of getting the Salem Walking Tour as a gift—thoughts?

Looking for suggestions! My friend loves history and always wanted to visit Salem. The walking tour sounds perfect, but is it really worth it? What’s the vibe like? Any tips on what to wear or bring?
