“This title is very misleading, only a very small portion actually pertained to the witch trials. It was mainly a history of the founding of Salem - the tour guide, while very knowledgeable seemed upset by the "witch history seekers". That's the title of the tour and a big part of what makes Salem a tourist destination.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 105 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $134

Make a personalized witch’s broom in Salem with local instructors, colorful broomcorn, charms, ribbons, and plenty of creative freedom.

“Super fun, Mykaela and Hilary were very helpful and we had all the supplies we needed to make whatever kind of broom we wanted. Some were more Halloween themed, while mine leaned more toward fall. My only note is that the tour listing said it would take approximately one hour, by the time everyone was done and brooms were wrapped it was almost two and half hours. Wasn’t a big deal for us but if someone had other plans I imagine it could be an issue.”
