Our guide was really cool. She practically knew everyone in Salem, and she wore period dress to boot. It turned out to be a private tour because we were only one. Lots of interesting tidbits and anecdotes. She walked us all over the town plus gave suggestions on different restaurants and places to check out on our own.
Great tour!
