Historic Overview of Salem Walking Tour

Walking is an excellent way to see the sights of Salem. The Historic Overview of Salem Walking Tour will allow you to hear the history of four different centuries. Plus, you will hear the history of the time around the Salem Witch Trials.

This tour is also only one hour-long, but you can easily go back to revisit your favorite locations at the end.

Magic Lantern Tour

The Magic Lantern Tour is offered at night. It is best attended on the days around Halloween. However, even if you go at a different time of the year, you will find you can easily learn more about all the pagan rituals that took place in this town.

This is one of the more interactive tours available. So, I recommend you add it to your list if you really want history to come to life during your family vacation.

Salem Ghost Tour

There are many hauntings around Salem. But this tour focuses on those lesser-known facts of the hauntings.

You can choose to take the basic tour, which offers eight different locations. However, I recommend the longer version since it offers a few off-the-beaten-path experiences.

This tour is one of the best ways to add a little “spook” to your family vacation.
