Alexandria needs a raise! - Alexandria was an amazing tour guide who taught us all so much! She is fun and so sweet (I recommend she becomes a therapist since she’s such a wonderful listener). It was a wonderful time.

Great Tour - Great tour! Guide was knowledgeable and I felt like we saw a lot. Decent amount of walking so wear comfortable shoes. I wish we had a little more free time in Salem at lunch but still had a great time. The castle was very cool and not something I would’ve sought out on my own. Overall good tour!

Great & Informative Day Trip - Maria was a great guide! She was super knowledgeable and answered every question that we had. The tour itself was cool and hit all the highlights, didn’t feel too long or too short.

Great time exploring Salem and Hammond Castle. - I took my 16 year old daughter on this tour because we wanted to get out of Boston for the day. Both She and I loved it. She was engaged the entire time and took pictures which says a lot because most teens are happier staring at a phone screen. Our guide was friendly and informative. She made sure everyone was comfortable. We had adequate time to actually explore the areas we stopped at. I’ve been on guided tours before of the same area with a different company and it felt rushed compared to this. Having a smaller group was great and it allowed us to take our time. I’d definitely recommend this tour. We really enjoyed all of it.
