Description

Start your Salem Witch Tour from Boston at North Station, where a licensed local historian greets you with train tickets and a preview of your immersive Salem witch tour. On the MBTA ride to Salem, your guide shares the deeper, often-overlooked truths behind the infamous 1692 witch trials.

Once in Salem, follow your guide through key historical sites, including the Witch Trials Memorial, Old Town Hall, the Witch House, and the Bewitched Statue. With every stop, you'll separate fact from folklore—and walk the same streets where the trials unfolded.

Later, take part in a private broom-making workshop at The Witchery, a woman-owned studio known for its creative atmosphere. Using authentic materials, you'll craft a rustic broom to take home, adding your own chapter to Salem's story. The experience also includes a visit to a local spell shop to select a custom charm and assemble a personalized spell satchel.

After the guided portion, enjoy time to explore Salem on your own before catching a flexible return train back to Boston. It's more than a tour—it's a deep dive into one of America's most haunting legacies, balanced with a touch of hands-on magic.
