Hocus Pocus Tours — Local services in Salem

WOW - AMAZING!!! I could take this tour with Suzanne and Rich again. THIS TOUR IS A DEFINITE MUST if you are going to tour Salem. It was so well done, well thought out, professional, informative, evidence based and historical! Took other tours, but this was the ONLY ONE that actually gave me goose bumps (I am not posting the picture because I want you to have the same experience I had in the moment!!!) They are hands down the best act in town. There was continuity throughout the tour. If you are looking for a tour that will provide you with authentic history, entertainment, and the stories of Salem including the Boston Stangler and The Salem Witch Trials this is the one you are looking for! The explanation and respect for the graves, the monuments, and the dead were beautiful and touching. You can tell these folks live there, care about their town and their history, and want you to care too. WAY BETTER than the 20 something that gave us the tour the next night from Haunted Footsteps (also reviewed by me if you would like to see the difference). Pretty sure his tour should have started with "this one time at...

My friend and I booked this tour as it was our first time in Salem and wanted to learn as much as possible. We did the Salem Witch Museum which was cool but very short and not worth the price. However, this tour was beyond expectation. We were lucky enough to have a private tour since no one else had booked. Susanne and Rich were phenomenal to say the least. They took us all around Salem and gave us so much information about the houses, murders, the jails, and the Witch Trials. We liked that it was more than just about the trials since Salem has other history. Susanne is exceptional at story telling. The way she crafts her tellings of Salem's history kept us on our toes which made it more fun. At the end of the tour we got broom pens as a thank you which was so nice! They also told us where to go to get Uber's back to where we were staying which showed us just how caring they are. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone as Susanne and Rich were so kind, well versed, and knowledgable about Salem....

Everyone who visits Salem should take this tour. I have not stopped talking about how wonderful it was since I got home! Susan and Rich brought the history of Salem alive with intriguing and unique stories about people that lived in houses you were standing in front of, and made you think about the human side of the witch trials. They talked to us before the tour started, and incorporated what we had done or said into the tour, and personalized suggestions and comments for us. I wished it would have gone on another hour and a half! I also wish I would have been in Salem a second day to visit their recommendations that I hadn't seen on my own before the tour. They were so kind and knowledgeable, and were immensely easy to talk to and listen to. This was a knockout tour, and the next time I go to Salem I plan to...
