“I highly recommend taking this tour. While out and about, we would pass other tour groups, and I was justified in my choice to go with TST’s tour. Thomas was super conversational, laid back, not your typical tour guide, which we loved. It was informative and fun, and we felt like we got some real history, and honestly, a bit of an education in a really fun way. The best part was that we had Salem’s mayor, Satan along for the walk! Hail Satan!”
