Cody was very funny and good at storytelling. I also did the history and hauntings tour. They overlapped a tiny bit, but it did not matter because you learned different details from each person. I recommend doing both, for sure. I am grateful I got to learn about the important history with the one tour and get spooky with this tour.

Really enjoyed this experience! I’m just a hobby photographer AND I love a good murder story. This tour combines both of those things. I received guidance on how to get the most out of my camera while also learning WHAT I was taking a picture of. Rebecca and Chris are really onto something with this. I hope when I come back to Salem there are more of these set up. You get the tourist stuff, history stuff, AND photos to remember it all. Brilliant. 10/10 will do again.

Very fascinating tour! Everyone knows Salem for the witch trials, but here is an equally complex and tragic murder mystery that sounds like it comes straight out of an Agatha Christie novel. Rebecca does a great job delivering the back story (and leaving you hanging at the end of each stop), and Chris made even a helpless photography noob like me take some professional looking pictures (a minor miracle). Bring your camera and your detective's notebook, you'll need both on this one.

I can't stop thinking about this tour .So much so I went home and did additional research. Such a complex multi faceted story. I appreciate the depth of knowledge the tour guide had. I also LOVED the photography component to this tour as well. My " smart "phone and I have a whole new way of framing a picture to make it so much more interesting.

This tour was great! It was interesting to hear details about a different time in Salem history and see the buildings that related to it. I enjoyed how the tour guide set the tour up as a murder mystery, and every stop gave you more clues! I was impressed with the knowledge the tour guide provided, and how passionate she was about the information she was sharing. The other aspect of this tour was the photography. It was so helpful having the professional photographer give the group guidance on how to take the best photos of the beautiful architect that Salem has. I would highly recommend this tour!
