5.00Alina was brilliant, gave historical detail and a spooky twist. We visited in February under snow and she still stayed way passed the allotted time to fit in all the great facts. Plus she’s a Salem resident with all the insider knowledge and true love and pride for the city, rather than an out of state company. That really comes across. If you’re looking for a tour guide this is the one.
