Sarah is pretty dope and amazing tour guide. I want to apologize because since COVID we don’t carry cash and most of the tours we have been doing everyone does Venmo handle for tips. So Sarah please don’t think we are bad Midwesterners. We aren’t but I remember you stating to leave a good review, that I can do.
Sarah was such a brilliant and impressive storyteller with each spot we had. She did not disappoint with her dad jokes, her stories, and overall background of the witches tour. We were very impressed and very happy with questions she was always able to answer.
She was very confident, and always throwing out good recommendations as well along the tour. I was a tour guide at my university in undergrad and I had to work backwards and Sarah has perfected that as well. Mad tour guide cred for you, Sarah. I loved being a tour guide in college. Informing and being able to provide information to others is a dope gig!
We love the tour, thank you so so much Sarah. You really made us research more and peak our interest. I hope you find this review and forgive us for not having cold hard cash. But hey, you are a very good tour guide and we are rooting for you and your podcast. We already started listening and my sister said you have a wonderful and podcast made voice. Thank you for great tour!
Also, I love how tour was easy to hear with the microphone. The tour guide was very prompt and very good as making sure we were learning or had questions. HIGHLY recommend...
Read moreBrought my sister on the tour as part of her new England adventure. Definitely a must-do activity in Salem. Jeff is incredibly knowledgeable. He's great about sharing straight facts and differing ideas/ interpretations of what happened and why. He makes sure to let you know when he's sharing verified information and when he's providing his own color commentary. I really appreciated how he humanized the events and the people involved. These weren't characters, they were people with hopes, dreams, and fears. People are messy, so understanding history is too. Jeff does a great job helping attendees sift through the mess to find a new understanding of the events, how they shaped Salem for centuries, how they shaped the world. Jeff allows you to look in the proverbial mirror to assess who we are today in light of who we were in the late 1600s. He leaves you with the opportunity to take this knowledge with you to help shape your own world and to hopefully make it better.
(The tour includes pointing out restaurants and shops and other sight seeing events, if you like having insights on where to go while in Salem. Those instances in the tour could feel a little like a commercial break, but it didn't detract from...
Read moreThis was one of the best experiences in all of Salem. My Fiance and I went for Halloween. We walked through the streets and to the Town Fair, but the highlight of the weekend was our time on the Bewitched After Dark Walking Tours and our guide "Sarah". We had such an informative and eye opening journey into the Tragic, Truthful history of the Witch Trials, and other parts of the rich Salem history.
The history itself would not have come alive without the comprehensive and expressive storytelling of our guide. we heard from others that this was the best tour on Essex St. Our experience solidified all those statements. Sarah effortlessly guided us through MASSIVE crowds with confidence and poise, without losing a single person! Our group just had a tremendous time. We will attend again when it is not so crowded for Halloween, If you are attending during Halloween make sure to book your tour WAY in advance (I'm talking book in or june/july) because during that holiday everything fills up fast.
If you are planning to visit Salem, I also recommend listening to "SALEM: THE PODCAST" which was invaluable in gathering information and planning our trip. I can not gush enough about...
