The best day in Boston and Salem - We had an amazing time with Alexandria. She is incredibly engaging and a great story teller. We learned so much about Salem and Boston. She had so much interesting information about the witch trials in Salem, both my kids and I loved how interesting she made the information sound. Also while in Salem, we managed to go in to a super cool shop called Professor Spindlewink’s World of Wizardry, where we got kids cool wands and did a fantasy magic adventure. It was super fun and Alexandria was nice enough to join us. From there we went to the Boston Public Market and had the most delicious food recommended by Alexandria - Red’s Best for clam chowder and Beantown Pastrami Company for pastrami and corned beef sandwiches. Afterwards she met us and took us to North End and gave us a lot of history and interesting information. We asked her for a cannoli recommendation and once again she didn’t disappoint - we had the best cannoli from Bova’s bakery. Our tour then continued with a drive through the city and ended when she dropped us off at the airport. It was a really awesome full day tour!

Great quick informative day trip to see Boston and Salem with so much history to learn - Jennifer’s knowledge on events and people was interesting and amazing, as was her flexibility to adapt to what we wanted. We enjoyed her stories. Her voice and personality are perfect for this job. She made our trip to Boston. I highly recommend this trip to Boston and Salem in one day, it goes by so fast.
