5.00Misha was absolutely amazing — incredibly engaging and knowledgeable. He made the time pass quickly, and I learned so much throughout the trip. There was so much to see, and I really appreciated the historical accuracy and depth of knowledge he brought to every stop. The pacing was perfect and the length of the tour felt just right. Truly an outstanding experience.

5.00This was a great short overview tour of Salem covering the watch trials. Our guide Allie was very knowledgeable about the history of Salem. Unfortunately for us it rained during the tour and the temps turned cold but we made the best if it. She kindly recommended an awesome restaurant close by at the end where we went to thaw out and enjoyed the food. I would recommend this as a good overview of Salem.
