Tours for Touring Tourists is a Salem, Massachusetts-based tour operator specializing in guided walking experiences that explore the city's 1692 witch trials history, haunted sites, and contemporary witchcraft. The company runs multiple public programs in downtown Salem, including the one-hour Steps Through 1692 walking tour, the one and a half hour Salem's Spooky Spectres evening ghost walk, the 45 to 60 minute Wandering Witches Q&A with a practicing witch, and the Stardust Spellcasting event where participants leave with a charged item. Combination passes bundle experiences: a Double Trouble pass pairs Steps Through 1692 (5PM) with Salem's Spooky Spectres (evening departures at 7PM, 8:30PM, or 9:30PM), and a Triple Threat pass includes Wandering Witches (3:30PM), Steps Through 1692 (5PM), and Salem's Spooky Spectres (7PM, 8:30PM, or 9:30PM). Tours for Touring Tourists conducts tours on public routes through downtown Salem and emphasizes accurate historical interpretation of the 1692 witch hysteria alongside storytelling about local folklore and reported hauntings.
