“Melissa is wonderful and so was her tour. She uplifts less-frequently told stories about the real human beings who are connected to Salem. Her storytelling is intersectional, relevant, captivating, and oh so important. Melissa herself is warm, funny, and thoughtful. I feel very grateful to have connected with her!”

“Amazing! Just what I was looking for- it was like getting a ‘behind the scenes’ tour of Salem. Down to earth, thoughtful, and progressive. I've already recommended to my friends.”

“Melissa and the Witches tour were absolutely perfect. We had very little time to explore Salem and felt like this tour really hit all the high points while providing connection to current events. We couldn't have asked for a better way to see Salem and learn about its past.”

“I've been visiting Salem regularly for over ten years. I've seen nearly all the museums and I'm well acquainted with most of the major sights. When my fiancé and I saw this new tour with a feminist angle, we knew we had to try it out. We chose the two-hour Radical Occult walking tour, and it was fabulous. Melissa was an incredibly lovely tour guide who wowed the whole group with her seemingly endless esoteric knowledge of Salem & the Spiritualist Movement. We learned tons about the city and visited landmarks I never knew existed. Definitely worth every bit. Truly one of the most fascinating tours!”

“This was an incredible experience. I was struck by Melissa's degree of thoughtfulness and the skill with which she delivered this meaningful yet fun tour. This is such a breath of fresh air in a sea of witch-related tours and other offerings that make witchcraft a spectacle in Salem without pausing to interrogate how any of this came to be, its oppressive dimensions, and the ways in which people have derived genuine power from occult practices. I look forward to taking another NowAge tour soon!”

“If you want to understand the real history of ‘Witches’ in Salem within the actual historical context, take this tour! Melissa's tour was a respectful, intimate and thought provoking experience that I would recommend to those who have genuine interest in learning about the true events, characters and beliefs from that time. I went with my wife and cousin and we couldn't stop talking about it the whole ride back to Cambridge. We will definitely be returning for other tours and workshops!”
