Ultimate Witches and Witchcraft of Salem Walking Tour
Is the Ultimate Witches and Witchcraft of Salem Walking Tour Worth It
The Ultimate Witches and Witchcraft of Salem Walking Tour is a two-hour walk from $35 per person, rated 3.91 by 78 travellers on GetYourGuide at the 23 September 2026 check — the only walk in Salem rated below four. The partner’s own sub-scores are 4.3 for the guide and 4.0 for value. It meets outside the Salem Five bank at 210 Essex Street and finishes at the Salem Witch Trials Memorial.
The listing takes a wider view than most: the history of European witch hunts, the classic tools of a witch such as broomsticks and cauldrons, a selfie at the Bewitched Statue, and a moment of reflection at the Memorial. We show the rating as it is and list the walk, but for the same price and the same corner Secrets of Salem is rated 4.45 by 208 people.
Only if the others are full on your date. At $35 for two hours it costs the same as Secrets of Salem from the same corner, which is rated 4.45 from 208 reviews against this walk’s 3.91 from 78. The partner’s sub-scores are 4.3 for the guide and 4.0 for value. The honest alternative from the same address is Secrets of Salem — same price, same start.
