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.

Jessica, our tour guide was amazing! So informative and did a great job keeping us on time to make the museum and still have time to wonder around and see the sights on our own. I’ll definitely recommend this tour!
