Ride from Boston to Salem for a guided walk through witch-trial history, landmark sights, and a museum visit chosen by day.

About this tour

Trade Boston’s bustle for Salem’s cobbled streets and stories of the 1692 witch trials. Meet your guide at North Station, then ride the train to Salem for a guided walk through the city’s layered past.

Pause at the Witch Trials Memorial, where stone benches bear the names of the condemned, and visit the Burying Point cemetery. Along the way, see the Bewitched Statue, Ropes Mansion, and the Witch House, the only building still standing with direct ties to the trials. Your guide connects these landmarks to the people and events that shaped Salem, and to the ways the city remembers its history today.

The experience ends with museum admission that varies by day: explore the Salem Witch Museum Sunday through Thursday, or the Real Pirates Museum Friday and Saturday. Round-trip rail tickets are included, and you can take the return train at your leisure. Choose this Boston Salem Witch Tour by Train for a thoughtful, easygoing day of history, memorable sights, and stories best heard on the streets where they unfolded.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.38 from 65 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Salem
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.7.
