About This Tour
Uncover Salem's history on this guided day trip from Boston. Travel stress-free by train and then embark on a walking tour through the streets where you'll hear stories of Puritans and pirates, visit memorials to the accused and learn how pop culture helped reshape Salem’s identity. Your local guide will bring history to life, from the Witch House to Burying Point and more stops in between. Finish the day at either the Salem Witch Museum or Real Pirates Museum (depending on the day of your tour). With a small group size and all logistics handled, you’ll uncover the true story of Salem—and why it still resonates today.
