“What an immersive experience! The “1692 Before and After” Salem Historical Walking Tour strikes the perfect balance between excitement and historical detail. Co-founder and tour guide Jeff Page was both engaging and incredibly knowledgeable, presenting each case in a contextualized manner that made the events of 1692 feel immediate and relevant. Jeff’s background as a lifelong Salem resident and practicing witch adds depth and authenticity to the tour. With so many walking tours available, choosing one online can be daunting, but Jeff’s passion and expertise make this tour stand out. After experiencing the “1692 Before and After” tour, I’m thrilled with my choice!”

“I was looking for a tour that focused on history over legends and ghost tales and this one delivered! I enjoyed it tremendously, there was fact and plenty of humor blended in.”

“We could not have been more impressed with this tour. Our guide was brimming with so much knowledge not only about the specifics of the witch trials, but also the bigger picture of how they emerged from a perfect storm of religious, political, and even environmental conditions. Would recommend for anyone looking to understand just what happened and why, based on rigorous research from a true local.”

“Jeff was so knowledgeable and passionate about Salem’s history. Telling the story of the witch trials in a way that invited us to consider different view points, also highlighting interesting non-witchy historical points and stories, sharing memories and stories from his time growing up in Salem, and as others have said, offering up good advice on places to eat at or check out, from a local’s perspective. I joined this tour last minute, by myself (the tour had a total of 5 of us that evening), and I knew I had picked the right one. Highly recommend.”

“We did this tour this week and it was fantastic. Jeff was so knowledgable and we learned so much from him. It was a 2 hr tour and it felt like it was 20 min. because we enjoyed it so much. I will definitely be taking his tour again. I 100% recommended this tour.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour! Our guide has dedicated his life to learning as much as he can about the Salem Witch Trials, and was extremely knowledgeable on Salem History. He even included new-found facts whereas other tours have been known to stick to older facts because ‘they make a better story’. We learned a lot, and had a great time! I highly recommend this tour.”

“This was the most amazing tour!! I took one last year with Jeff and had to come back. It is the most educationally accurate and interesting tour regarding historical accounts of the Salem Witch Trials and more. A long-time guide of highest rated reviews, Jeff debuts his New Tour with 1692 Before and After with the same passion and enthusiasm he has had from the very beginning. I was told by many locals that he was the man to see to keep my undivided attention while walking the hallowed grounds and dimly lit brick and cobblestone streets of Salem. Spellbinding!! I want to go back again and again!!”

“This is the historical tour that peels back the layers of time with the documented facts of this dark era of Salem. Jeff has great local knowledge and fills in the historical gaps with ironic wit.”

“The tour was informative and a great way to start off our trip to Salem. Walking around town and thinking about everything we learned the night before made the whole experience more enjoyable for us.”
-Chris R., TripAdvisor Review
“If you are interested in the history of the 1692 Witch Trials, then this is the tour for you! Jeff was an amazing and knowledgable tour guide. He has dedicated years of study, learning everything there is to know about the trials. This was my first trip to Salem…a girl’s weekend…and I wish I had known ahead of time that booking too many tours is a waste of time. I would’ve booked just this one tour and used the rest of my time to explore Salem at my leisure. It was an experience I will never forget!”
