5.00Matthew was awesome - he was so knowledgeable about both Boston & Salem history for the drives to & from & just so kind (he even gave us a long list of recommendations in the Boston area for after we were done if we didn’t have any other plans already). The tour was also very organized; it was so much easier to do this than it would’ve been to try to plan everything on our own. The entire experience was most definitely worth it especially for the price and length of time and I can’t recommend it enough!

5.00A well organised tour. Our guide, Rory gave a detailed history of Salem. The tour included skip the line admission to the Salem Witch Museum which was very atmospheric and interesting. We had free time to explore Salem on our own. Finally we visited the House of the Seven Gables for a guided tour by Stephen which was very interesting. The transport arrangements were very good

5.00Hotel pick was convenient. Quick drive to Salem. Snacks and water available on the van. This day trip included 3 tours, a city tour, the Salem Witch Museum and the House of Seven Gables. However, there was also plenty of time to explore on our own!

5.00I did this tour solo and had a great time! One of the things I really appreciated was the hotel pick-up – it made things so much easier since I was new to Boston. Our driver Rory reached out the day before to confirm the pick-up spot and also let me know when they arrived the next day. Super polite and professional, which made me feel comfortable right away. There were only two other couples in our group, so it wasn’t crowded at all. Everything was really well-organized. Rory handed out all the tickets we needed for the Salem excursions and even gave some helpful tips on what to see and do. Overall, a fun and smooth experience. I’d definitely recommend it, especially if you’re visiting on your own and want a hassle-free way to explore Salem!

5.00The trip was worth leaving Boston for. The trolley ride gives you some bearings to the town. The Salem Witch Museum could use some modernizing and maybe be more interactive. Rory was a great tour guide. Always on time, always asked how our experience was after different aspects of the tour, and had great recommendation for lunch.
