      Amazing!
      Rikki_K, Oct 2023
      Samantha did an amazing job at letting the stories come to life. We really enjoyed her story telling, and sense of humor. I feel bad for anyone who gets a tour guide that isn't Samantha!!

      Dawn_W, Oct 2023
      The stories were interesting but at times confusing with so many names in the stories. It was an average tour in my opinion.

      Wanna see a ghost?!
      Vanessa_B, Sep 2023
      This tour was AMAZING!!! Danielle was so great! As a empath medium she was so fun to experience in person. She was so light hearted and so funny! She told the best stories of spooky history. We went to great locations with HIGH ghostly activity. Many group members caught paranormal on pictures, myself and companion included. I highly recommend this tour. She left time for open ended questions, members sharing own experiences, and was great at relating to others and giving information on what some experience may mean.

      Excellent Tour & Guide!
      Rochelle_K, Sep 2023
      Samantha was our tour guide for the evening and she was not only hilarious but a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and I loved how deep she dived into each murder mystery. The pictures she shared really added to the spooky vibe of the evening and tour. Overall I highly recommend not only Samantha but the company of Witch City Walking Tours in general.

      historic & spooky
      Rachel_H, Sep 2023
      great tour with samantha! lots of spooky bits but also very informative on the history of the town. she very clearly knows & loves salem and has answers for every question you could have. i also appreciate that while there are paranormal aspects and lots of ghosts, it’s also very respectful of those who lost their lives unfairly even over 300 years ago. tour ended up being close to 2 hours but it FLEW by, we were never bored.

      We booked this tour...
      Caryn_B, Sep 2023
      We booked this tour because the description sounded like it would be different from the Bewitched tour we took early in the day. Unfortunately, it was not so while it included some new things there were several repeated stories and stops. Our guide was awesome - fun, enthusiastic, knew her history, etc. Certainly not her fault we took two tours. In hindsight, I should have booked something "witch" and something "Hocus Pocus". The tour also ends in a different location from where it started so it took us a minute to figure out how to get back to our car.
