Salem/Gloucester Day Trip - Alexandria was a treasure trove of information on our tour to Hammond Castle and Salem! Her bubbly personality and friendly demeanor more than made up for the cloudy and cold weather…we had a great day!

Great visit outside of the city - Such an amazing day!!! If you’re looking for a great day trip outside the city of Boston. The castle was very beautiful and interesting. We took great photographs and enjoyed the collection of artifacts. Then we were off to Salem to hear about some of our country’s dark history. It’s not all about witches, but the history of some of the colonies that were first here. Our guide, Jenny, was very informative and such a pleasant guide.

Great Experience for my Family - It was really a fun trip. Our guide was super knowledgeable and added more history than one might get from doing just a regular tour. Easy pickup and drop off, great advice on places to go, and just an all around fun filled day. Lots of pictures and laughs, well not all laughs on some of the Salem stories, but you get the point. Well worth the money! Remember folks, take your guide to lunch and pay for it, you get to know them better and it just makes the trip more fun!
