Melissa and the Witch Walk 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 it's past.

We did the Herb Witch tour on Halloween having been fascinated with the medicinal value of the earth around us. I've always admired the First Nations ability to use plants to alleviate symptoms and even cure. Kate was a most informative and compassionate tour guide. Her demeanor was down to earth and I felt she was a kindred spirit, on top of that I also learned a lot from her!

My daughter and I recently had the privilege of spending part of our Salem trip with Melissa on her Radical Occult/Spiritualism tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip! We've been to Salem many times and we wanted to learn and see new things. Melissa's tour did not disappoint! From beautiful Chestnut Street and its rich history to the diverse discussions about religion, spirituality and the architype of the witch, and everything in between, it was an experience we won't forget! Melissa's tour was off the beaten path, personal and enriching. We highly recommend it!!

Me and my partner went on the “witches and the invisible world tour” with Melissa and it was fantastic. If you are someone that is interested in learning about layers or history/ not a “corny” Salem walking tour these tours are for you. It was a super informational tour with great pacing. We toured around for 2 hours but it didn’t feel like it all. Highly recommend for the 21st century history lover.

I came to Salem with a group of feminist photographers and other business owners and creatives for a retreat. I honestly didn't know what to expect, since I'm not what I would call a "witchy" person necessarily.

We had a group tarot class and a walking tour of Salem's Spiritualist history with Melissa of NowAge, and any expectations I might have had were totally blown away. Melissa makes everything approachable and accessible, and possesses an incredible amount of knowledge she's more than willing to share in an easy, interesting way. I loved the way she explained the tarot, and had a great experience exploring the deck with my cohort. The Spiritualism tour was thorough but not dense, and we easily spent two hours learning from Melissa as we walked around beautiful Salem.

After I returned home, I reached out by email and mentioned I was heading back to Salem with my kid, wondering if she had any suggestions for tours. The email I received back was so above and beyond--Melissa took the time to craft a careful, helpful response with links to kid-friendly tours and sights in Salem.

I can't recommend NowAge highly enough. Definitely the people to get in touch with if you want the best Salem visit experience.

Melissa's tours are the best! Fun, informative & engaging - I always have a great time nerding out about the amazing topics & history she shares! Highly recommend especially if you want a more informed, enjoyable and intimate tour experience. Melissa has such a wealth of knowledge and expertise on all topics Salem, Occult, Witches, Invisible history and so much more!

This was such a great tour! It was intimate and we were able to ask questions as we walked around Salem. We saw many huge groups following tour guides with speakers and Melissa purposely keeps her groups small which was so nice. The tour was fun and very informative. We learned about the fun Halloween side of Salem and also about the history. I was left feeling so much respect for the history of Salem. At the end of our tour we went to the best shop in Salem, The Witch Haus. This store is a beautiful modern shop. I highly recommend the candles and crystal infused cleaning products. If I could’ve figured how to get the prettiest black broom on my plane I would have! Thank you Melissa!

Melissa was absolutely AMAZING. When you walk around Salem, the sheer amount of tours you see is a bit overwhelming. There are people in costumes giving tours, people with megaphones screaming at their tours of 50+ people, and then there are tours such as this one with Melissa. She was so passionate about the narrative she was delivering, and went out of her way to make sure everyone on the tour was having the best experience they could. Melissa went above and beyond the normal tour education by relating the events that occurred in Salem to similar tragedies that have happened around the world, both past and present. She also had a fantastic personality - I'll definitely be booking tours with her again, and telling everyone I know about it. Thank you again!
