Witch City Walking Tours

Witch City Walking Tours is a Salem tour company offering a variety of guided walks through the historic streets of the city. Its main tour blends Salem’s past with tales of the supernatural, admiring the local architecture along the way and digging into what actually happened during the 1692 witch trials. Guides are local and knowledgeable, and they take groups off the beaten path to lesser-known corners of the city.

The team includes a longtime history teacher from Chelsea, a local musician who performs around the North Shore, and broom-making instructors, one of them an Alexandrian priestess in the Salem Coven. Behind the scenes, an administrative staff member handles scheduling and guest communication. In addition to tours, the company runs broom-making workshops where participants of any age, with parental supervision for kids, wrap and decorate their own broom in one of three sizes.
