Salem witch tours

Cruising into Boston in Oct and I noticed that there is an excursion to Salem related to the witches. Has anyone done this?

What cruise line? You might have better luck getting some feedback if you post in your specific cruise line's forum.

I disagree...this is where this question might/should get answered.

I'm also going to be in Boston onboard Anthem and will be curious as to the answer's the OP will get here.

There are lots of witch tours in Salem and they are very popular. If you like that kind of thing then that's the kind of thing you'll like.

Exactly.

IMO they are all pretty tacky.

For "witch stuff", try Rebecca Nurse House in nearby Danvers.

http://www.rebeccanurse.org/.

"The Rebecca Nurse Homestead sits on 25+ acres of an original 300 acres occupied by Rebecca Nurse and her family from 1678-1798. The property holds the traditional saltbox home lived in by the Nurse family. This is the only home of a person executed during the trials open to the public."

The best "attraction" in Salem IMO is the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM).

Second: House of Seven Gables.

Third: General architecture in town.

I agree with this. As a native from the North Shore, this is where I would send visitors.

Just FYI:

PEM is free on Friday, June 23, 2017

Note:

PEM currently has a very well done exhibit on cruise ships. Includes striking posters from the guided age of these ships, huge ship models, interior decoration and furniture (including a very sculptural deck chair from the Titanic) , detailed 360 computer images of areas of a ship (stateroom, engine room, public rooms, kitchens), ephemera, clothing, and much more--even a musician playing a piano from one old classic ships.
