Salem Trolley
About
Salem Trolley runs narrated one-hour sightseeing tours of Salem aboard its red trolleys, and it has been showing visitors around the city since 1982. The eight-mile route passes the Charter Street Burial Ground, the House of the Seven Gables, the Witch Dungeon Museum, the Salem Witch Museum, the historic waterfront and Chestnut Street, often called one of the most beautiful streets in America. A professional driver and local guide share history and local trivia along the way.
The tour goes beyond the 1692 witch trials into Salem’s literary and maritime past. For something darker, the Tales and Tombstones night tours run in July, August and October, visiting scenes of grisly murders and executions and telling stories of haunted hotels, forgotten underground passageways, curses and haunted islands. The company also provides special tours and transportation for weddings and events.
