We got to see absolutely nothing. Tickets to the Peabody and 7 gables garden would have gone a long way to what I thought we were buying.

We had a fun day with our tour guide Carol. She is friendly and very knowledgeable. The ferry ride was comfortable and fast. The tour included what was promised and the walking was not too much. We had lunch on our own, but Carol gave us a recommendation which was delicious.

Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Got a good experience with the town, not just the witchy stuff. Was bummed with the fog, so didn’t see much on the ferry.
