5.00Our first time in Salem, MA. We booked knowing a little bit of info and history. We were greeted and hosted by Topher. Pleasant curator really engages with his audience. Topher was so knowledgeable and an amazing story teller to give you not just the witch history but all the history that makes Salem a great place to visit. Would absolutely recommend Topher and would book solely on him being the guide!!
Super fun and not too bad...
