About This Tour
Discover Salem's history and haunts at your own pace. Don't miss the stories and sites of the Witch City. Our tour will take you through historic Essex Street, starting outside the iconic Witch House and winding between centuries-old churches, lively squares, spooky museums, and memorable gardens, and ending with the legendary House of the Seven Gables at the edge of the sea. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about witches, pirates, ghosts, and famous authors—like Nathaniel Hawthorne, whose own connection to the Custom House inspired chilling tales of guilt in 'The Scarlet Letter.' This is all on our walking tour app. Go at your own pace, anytime.
