The absolute best way to see Salem and learn about the history of the area. Ken was fantastic in every way. His knowledge and passion for the history of Salem and passing this on to all who walk with him is very evident with each step you take. I highly recommend this tour.

Kenneth is a very nice man, he has a great tour, entertaining and educational. Don’t miss this gem in Salem! He ends the tour at the witch memorial where we laid flowers on each stone. It was simply beautiful and perfect! My teen loves it. BONUS on a hot summer day. He provided water and traditional Salem candy for all.

Ken was an amazing tour guide that went above and beyond. The tour itself was so much more than witch, witch, witch. You left with a real feeling of Salem’s place in our nations history. Also, if you have the flexibility know that October is chaos in Salem so plan accordingly.

We loved our tour Ken! He was so interesting and we learned so much about the city. Ken is passionate about Salem and it shows. It seems to me he thoroughly enjoys helping people understand and love the city. We have already recommended his tour and our friends are taking it also.
