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. Elizabeths 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!
