Fun and educational tour experience - The tour was amazing! Very engaging and entertaining. I sometimes find my mind wandering in tours, but Krystina did a great job keeping things interesting the whole two hours, despite how uncomfortable the cold was. I appreciated the expertise Krystina holds as a historian. Learning this history was exactly what I wanted while visiting Salem. I also recommend her podcast, Effed Up History, for short, fun, and informative stories about Salem and otherwise!

History without the drama - Krystina adapted the tone of her tour to our younger group and gave us a great history lesson on Salem witches and beyond! We learned about traditional Salem witches, fictional witches and some more history of Salem. This was a fast-paced trip through Salem with plenty to pay attention to.

Very informative. - A terrific tour with an expert in Salem history and the occult. We were part of a small group and Kristine made it extra personable. Nothing hokey or sensationalized, just the facts, which are disturbing enough. Highly recommend.
