What a great day! - We had a great time on this trip. We loved the trolley tour and Witch museum. We wish we had more time to walk around the town. Our lunch took a very long time at one of the sit down restaurants, so we didn't get to check out any of the shops or some other things we were hoping to see.

Definitely recommend - Comfortable vehicle, very polite driver. I’m not a big tour person (in general) but this one was so good it has me looking around to do others!! I thought the price was great for the convenience and pre scheduled tour reservations.

Enjoyable - Matt, our driver was awesome. He was very informative and provided us a lot of good information. The stories were interesting to hear. The museum stories were good but the museum is a bit cheesy. House of Seven Gables was interesting to see but the tour was a bit confusing because of all the history of the various owners. Candy store was great!!!

Matt was our tour driver.... - Matt was our tour driver. He took the time to explain us about Boston and Salem. I’m giving a 4 star because I don’t think the Salem Witch Museum is worth a visit. We did enjoyed the tour in The House of the Seven Gables and the food at Finz with ocean view was delicious!! Overall a nice tour!! Thanks Matt for the dinning list! Great recommendations!!

Worth the time! - I appreciated the direct pickup and return to my hotel. I loved this tour because it was more than witch stuff, which was great. It was also neighborhoods, and stories, and shopping, and time to wander. It was well worth the cost.

Horrible - Make sure you read every single email & text and be waiting for a phone call the day prior for pick up times. Everything I got said a 9:00 am pick-up at my hotel. I read emails but they pertained to people who could not be picked up at certain locations. I never saw 2 phone calls that came in because we were busy being tourists all day. If my operator had text me the night before, I would have gotten the message! Anyway, I was in my lobby at 8:45 for a 9:00 pick-up. The driver said I missed him. We lost $400! Horrible.
