The business owner said they've given hundreds of tours over 10 years, but "few compare" to Tatum's visit.
"I felt like I was hanging out with friends rather than a celebrity," the owner posted.
The trip included a private walking tour, a special VIP visit to "Pentagram: Witchcraft & Magick Shoppe" for tarot card readings and witchery, plus tours of other historical locations in the area. Tatum and his daughter also went on a cemetery tour, made witch brooms, and visited the Witch Dungeon Museum.
The Peabody Essex Museum also curated a tour of its witch trials exhibit on the third day of the visit.
"[Evie] was so excited to see Salem for the first time and learn as much as possible about the Salem Witch trials," Witch City Walking Tours posted. "It was so much fun to share my love of the city with her."
