    About this experience

    Come see the locations where everyone's favorite Halloween Movie - Hocus Pocus - was filmed. Relive the drama as Allison, Max, Dani and Binx need to save the town from the evil Sanderson sisters. We'll show you the locations where this movie was shot as well as tell you behind-the-scenes anecdotes. We are the only tour company in Salem that had an actor in Hocus Pocus 2 who also has spoken to actors and crew in the first movie. You'll get behind the scenes info you won't get anywhere else. You'll also learn about other movies and TV shows shot here like Hubie Halloween, The Coming and Bewitched. We've had over 100 TV shows, movies, documentaries and reality shows shot in Salem and many have nothing to do with our notorious past. DISNEY chose our company's guide! So should you! And that's not a bunch of Hocus Pocus! (PLEASE NOTE: We do not enter the Witch House or Ropes Mansion. You can enter those on your own)

    Hocus Pocus tour

    Not really Hocus pocus tour

    A lot of movie info that was not relevant to hocus pocus. Too long in the spots we did stay to hear. We left after 1/2 hour without much of the itinerary followed by the guide.

    Response from the operator: The title of the tour is Hocus Pocus movies and more tour. We go the locations in the immediate downtown Salem area. The first Hocus Pocus movie only shot six locations in Salem out of the entire movie. Many people think the whole movie was shot in Salem but that is not true. Most of the movie was shot in Los Angeles. We go to all the Hocus Pocus spots that the city allows us to and we fill in the long distances with other movies shot in Salem.

    Booook

    Bob rocked this tour! He gave us movie trivia and made our time together memorable and fun! From Hocus Pocus to Houdini to Hawthorne he provided fascinating tidbits of movie history.

    Response from the operator: Hello and Thank you for the amazing review! We're so pleased to hear you had a great time with us! Bob is one of the best guides in town! Please be sure to come back and visit again soon!

    Just OK

    Took us to all the relevant locations, but the information wasn’t that interesting. I was hoping for a bit of Salem history mixed into the movie tour. Maybe I had the wrong expectation.

    Response from the operator: This Tour is all about the movie Hocus Pocus and other movies and tv shows that Salem has been a part of. Our other tours like the general history tour or the witchcraft walk have more of Salem's history. tailored to them.

    We bailed out after about...

    We bailed out after about an hour. Good information when we could hear the guide but not a very engaging guide. Didn’t love the story by pictures. Would have been better without his book…

    Response from the operator: Our tours are carefully designed to offer both historical depth and engaging storytelling, and they’re led by guides who are deeply knowledgeable about Salem’s rich and complex past.

    Best Hocus Pocus Movies & More Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salem.

    How much does Best Hocus Pocus Movies & More Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salem usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Best Hocus Pocus Movies & More Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Salem is not rushed.

    Is Best Hocus Pocus Movies & More Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 87 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salem, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Best Hocus Pocus Movies & More Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Best Hocus Pocus Movies & More Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Best Hocus Pocus Movies & More Tour?

    +

    Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Salem can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Salem and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Best Hocus Pocus Movies & More Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Salem within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Salem?

    +

    Salem runs witch trial history tours, ghost and cemetery walks, museum entries and harbour trips, with October turning the whole town into a month-long event. On Outty we rank every Salem experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include History and Hauntings of Salem Guided Walking Tour, Satanic Salem Walking Tour, Salem Voodoo, Vampires, and Ghosts Guided Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Salem?

    +

    September to October for atmosphere, May to June for smaller crowds. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Salem?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
