Description

Meet your guide at Boston’s North Station and board a quick commuter train, arriving to Salem in under an hour. Your guide handles all the planning, so you can sit back and relax on your city escape to the quaint town of Salem.

Your walking tour begins in the heart of Salem, where cobbled streets whisper tales from 1692. Stand at the Witch Trials Memorial and reflect at the stone benches etched with the names of the condemned. At the nearby Burying Point cemetery, the oldest in Salem, hear about the figures who shaped early America and the consequences of fear run wild.

Stroll through town as your guide connects Salem’s past and present. Pass the Bewitched Statue and Ropes Mansion—made famous in Hocus Pocus—and stop outside the Witch House, the only building still standing with direct ties to the trials.

Your journey through time ends with a deep dive into Salem's history at either the Salem Witch Museum (Sun–Thurs), with dramatic exhibits and immersive storytelling, or the Real Pirates Museum (Fri & Sat), where a shipwreck uncovers unexpected tales of rebellion, treasure, and truth.

You’ll leave with a new understanding of Salem—not just what happened, but why it matters. Take the return train to Boston at your leisure or linger longer in this unforgettable town.
