awesome hocus pocus tour

My family and I went on the hocus pocus tour. Sebastian, our time guide was very friendly and shared some facts about hocus pocus facts that I didn't even know (and i'm the biggest hocus pocus fan), we also learned some interesting salem history as well. My sons ages 6 and 3 also loved the tour. I would rate this tour 11/10 and I will definitely book another when i'm back in salem later this year.

Thank you for joining our new Downtown Hocus Pocus Tour! Sebastian will be over the moon to hear this. He loves meeting guests who know the movie inside and out, and impressing a self‑proclaimed biggest fan is no small feat. We’re thrilled your whole family had fun, little witches and warlocks included. We can’t wait to welcome you back later this year. Until then, keep an eye out because you never know when a little movie magic might run amok (amok amok amok).

Hocus Pocus tour

This was great tour! Sebastian was very knowledgeable and taught us some facts about Hocus Pocus that we didn’t know. We also learned quite a bit about the witch trials and Salems history. Winifred being there and walking with us took the experience to another level. Her performance was spot on. Highly recommend!

Operator response

Thank you for joining our Downtown Hocus Pocus Tour. We’re so glad you had such a great time with Sebastian and that he surprised you with a few new Hocus Pocus facts. Sharing the filming spots along with the real history of Salem is something we love doing for fellow fans. When Winifred is able to join the walk, it definitely adds a little extra magic. We’re hoping this happens more often, although for now we're happy to have it a special surprise on days when it's possible! We appreciate the recommendation and hope the rest of your time in Salem was, as Winifred would say, simply glorious.

Thank you for joining our Downtown Hocus Pocus Tour. We’re so glad you had such a great time with Sebastian. It’s always fun to share the filming spots and behind‑the‑scenes details, especially since Hocus Pocus and Salem history have more in common than you might expect once you start connecting the dots. We’re happy to hear the tour felt so fun and memorable. Walking through the filming locations has a way of making the movie feel real for a moment, and it’s always great when guests feel that spark too.
