Fantastic tour, our guide Elizabeth was so knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks to the structure of the tour and our incredible guide, we were able to see a lot of Salem. Elizabeth’s knowledge of history and the area was outstanding and we were so thankful for such an amazing guide!

It was an amazing experience, if you have little time to visit, this is a good tour to take. I felt like we could have had more time in Salem, they put us on the 4pm ferry back to Boston, so we had very little time to explore the city. I think the tour could have been a little shorter in order to have more free time. But overall it was a very nice experience.

Fantastic . The Ferry ride was the best part. Great weather/views! We had a great time but we didn't stay with the tour the entire time so we did our own thing too!

Our tour guide, Elizabeth, was very friendly and knowledgeable. She walked at a good pace with stops at various sites along the way. She also had many good recommendations for shops and restaurants as well as other sites and streets to visit outside of our tour. She also provided us with information on how to get back on the ferry or how to take the train back to Boston if we wanted to stay in Salem longer. Excellent guide!
