Witch Trial Walking Tour Salem
Is the Witch Trial Walking Tour Salem Worth It
The Witch Trial Walking Tour is a 90-minute walk from $29.99 per person, rated 4.32 by 40 travellers on GetYourGuide at the 23 September 2026 check. It names three of the five places of 1692 tracked on this site — the Witch House from outside, the Burying Point on Charter Street and the Witch Trials Memorial — the joint most of any walk, with SEE IT ALL. It also passes an 18th-century merchant hotel.
It is the only walk the partner marks “suitable for all ages”, which makes it the family choice on this site, and it runs rain or shine. The one weakness is the meeting point: the listing says the guide will be waiting to check you in, the description names the Salem Five bank, and the map pin sits by Salem Common. Confirm it with the operator after booking.
Yes, if you want the most trial sites in one walk, or you have children with you. $29.99 for 90 minutes, and the operator names three of the five places we track — the joint most of any walk. The honest minus: the meeting point is contradictory in the listing, so confirm it after booking. If you would rather meet at a fixed corner, the 1692 Witchcraft Trials Walk meets at 8 Central Street for $25.

What Travellers Say
The two quotes in this snapshot mention a personal walk — one reviewer was one of only two guests — and a guide who told a well-read visitor things she had not known. Forty reviews at 4.32 is a smaller base than the leaders’. Quotes are short extracts with the reviewer’s first name and month.
“We were the only 2 on the tour and it was very personal.”

What Does the Witch Trial Walking Tour Salem Cover

Four named stops in 90 minutes, three of them places of 1692: the Witch House, passed outside — the listing calls it the only still-standing building with direct ties to the trials — the Burying Point on Charter Street and the Witch Trials Memorial, which stand next to each other.

Where Does the Witch Trial Walking Tour Meet
The listing contradicts itself: “you will see your tour guide waiting to check you in”, a description that names the Salem Five bank at 210 Essex Street, and a map pin by Salem Common and the Salem Witch Museum.
