    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!

    Recently went on the tour with my wife and friends from Miami Florida on Saturday September 21st on…read morethe 7pm tour. This was one of my favorite tours I have been on in many years. Our guide was dressed like a revolutionary vampire and definitely looked the part. He was very knowledgeable of everything he said based on history, others experiences and his own. We had to walk everywhere "walking tour" but he was very fast and efficient to be able to show us a lot of spots in a considerably short time. He really cared about everyone in the group and made sure everyone was having a good time. I recommend this tour to anyone looking to hear and see the history of Salem including the haunted items in their store.

    From the owner: Vampire Ghost Adventures, A Walking Tour of Salem! The only…read moretour in Salem where you enter a Haunted Building, see a collection of Haunted Objects and hear their stories! Welcome, Come hear the Ghostly secrets of Salem you won’t hear anywhere else! This is not like the other tours in Salem. You will be led around town by a Vampire for starters! While all the stories I will relate to you are true, this is not just a historical tour. We will be talking about vampires, ghosts, and spiritual phenomenon around this unique town. Experience the mystery and wonder of these tales. I will tell you what people have seen, heard, and experienced, and show you where these things happened. You will decide what you can believe or not believe. But I assure you, the reports of these incidents are all true. And there’s more than you might think! Now, How many here believe in ghosts? How many have had experiences with the paranormal? I myself am what is called a “sensitive” to an extent, But I’m a skeptic first. I don’t automatically assume the supernatural. And yet I have had spiritual experiences that I cannot explain. Come with me and I will tell you things and show you places the other tours won’t! And you will actually enter Chambers of Terror to see some Haunted Objects! The only walking tour in Salem where you actually enter a building!

    Ken really brought this city to life in an authentic and detailed way that other tours lack. It's…read morenot full of Disney fluff but is instead representative of all the true history and culture here- including the native Americans, the Caribbean influx, the culture of sailors as well as (of course) the witch hysteria of 1692. I've been coming to visit Salem since I was a little girl and I can't believe how much I learned and appreciated in a new light! 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!

    When we decided to come to New England for a trip, I knew I wanted to stop in Salem and learn a bit…read moreabout the history of the witch trials. However, I did not want a tour that was tacky or strange. The morning stroll tour of Salem with Kenneth got good reviews and seemed legit and not too cheesy. I definitely have to say that he delivered! The tour group was about 25 people, which was a good size and did not feel too big. We walked around Salem and learned about not just the witch trials, but also many other stories of the history of Salem and important people who lived there. We spent some time at the memorial site for those that were executed and he brought some flowers to place on the stone, which was a tad cheesy but also kind of nice. Kenneth is very informative and was willing to answer any and all questions. He very obviously has a passion for Salem history. The only thing I would say is a bathroom break and maybe even a snack break would have been nice. The tour went at least 2.5 hours even though it was supposed to be 2 hours. We appreciated the extra time he gave us and it was nice that he wasn't in a rush. However, we had traveled over 4 hours that morning to make the tour and could have used some food and a bathroom. The tour is reasonably priced and a recommended thing to do to see Salem and learn some actual history!
