Magic Lantern Tour
Naomi_B, Nov 2021
Very informative! Tour guide was personable and answered our questions. We did a lot of walking and was able to see and learn about various historical facts about the town.
The highlight of our trip!
Heather_N, Oct 2021
Rory is a wealth of knowledge on all things Salem! My boyfriend and I definitely learned and laughed a lot. I even just bought 2 of his books that I can’t wait to read!!
This tour was the highlight of our short time in Salem as it was the only thing that fully immersed us in the history of the town — beyond just the witch trials of 1692.
It was also really interesting hearing Rory’s perspective on things since he himself has been a resident of Salem for quite a while.
The magic lantern aspect of the tour truly helped it stand out from other options. As someone who definitely is more of a visual learner, seeing pictures as Rory was speaking helped me absorb the information much better.
Also, the group size is much more intimate than most other tours I saw while in Salem, which makes for an overall more enriching experience!
This tour gives you so much value for the money, and in my opinion is a can’t-miss Salem night tour.
Roy was incredibly...

Roy was incredibly knowledgeable and funny. He brought the history to life, and tied it wonderfully to local lore.
Don’t Do It!
Daniel_F, Oct 2021
The guide was nice but the tour was not interesting at all. We just left it after a few stops. By then some others had already escaped.
WITCHES & MAGICIANS!!!
Dianne_D, Oct 2021
Houdini stories!!! Never heard those before. Our guide was very informative. Loved the images that were projected on the brick walls and sidewalks of Salem.
Amazing Tour
Alfred_D, Oct 2021
Such an informative tour with a hint of comedy! Our host was amazing and we loved that it was a smaller group where many tours are so large you can’t fully enjoy it.
amazing experience!!
Cortney_B, Oct 2021
Tour guide was amazing!! Very knowledgeable and knew so much of Salems history. Answered any questions that we had and recommended shops and experiences near by. We loved every second of it!!
Perfect for any Season
Jacob_B, Nov 2019
A perfect tour for any season you are in Salem. Our guide was not only well versed in the history of the witch trails, but also educated in the history of Salem an the people who inhabited it though out time.
Unique Tour, Great Host
Kindra F, Oct 2019
We've been to a LOT of the Salem tours, and this one was very unique. The content was different than the standard fair-kind of a macabre town history, but not stuck on the Witch trials. The host was funny and kept the pace well. Highly recommend!
