Very nice boat trip to and from Salem, where you had a wide view of the sea. The tour in Salem itself was also very nice and informative. Especially the witch museum was very nicely done, because it was interactive and with a talking guide.

Wonderful tour guide. Really laid the facts and made your experience personal as well, ensuring you had the information you needed to explore at the end. Elizabeth, the tour guide, also helped me find my way home. She is a keeper!
