Our guide Matt was so knowledgeable and fun!! We had a great experience and totally stress-free since he was doing all the driving and navigating!
Amber_M, Sep 2025
Enjoyed the scenic and historic town of Salem. The museums were engaging and fun. The break was enough time to eat and view iconic sights.

A well organised tour. Our guide, Rory gave a detailed history of Salem. The tour included skip the line admission to the Salem Witch Museum which was very atmospheric and interesting. We had free time to explore Salem on our own. Finally we visited the House of the Seven Gables for a guided tour by Stephen which was very interesting. The transport arrangements were very good

Hotel pick was convenient. Quick drive to Salem. Snacks and water available on the van. This day trip included 3 tours, a city tour, the Salem Witch Museum and the House of Seven Gables. However, there was also plenty of time to explore on our own!

Rory was very informative and a pleasure to deal with. The trip was smooth and it hit all the hot spots in Salem.

If you are a history buff you need to do this tour. From the history of Salem to Nathanial Hawthorne it is just fascinating

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!!

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.

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.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Yes, unfortunately, there is nothing we can do if you don’t check your messages. It clearly states in several locations on all of our listings, checking messages is YOUR Responsibility. I called and left you a voicemail the night before with a pick up time at your hotel and kindly asked if you give me a call back or shoot me a text confirming you received my message. No response. I called again the morning of the tour and left you another voicemail with no response. I sent you three text messages while sitting in front of your hotel waiting. When you never communicated back, I went into your hotel lobby to look for you with no one insight. At that point, we have to assume you’re not showing up for the tour. We truly do not like to leave people behind, but there’s nothing we can do if people don’t check their messages. You may call me directly next time you’re in Boston and I will assist you over the phone with any future tours you wish to take. Thank you!

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.

My family, which includes two teens, generally enjoyed the day. The trolley and The House of the Seven Gables tours were good. The Salem Witch Museum was a bit odd, none of us liked it. Our driver, Rory, was great, had all of our tickets, got us everywhere we needed to be with good pacing, and had recommendations for places to eat during our free time. I think the verdict amongst our group is that Salem is a bit over-rated, though I'm sure it's more fun around Halloween. Though that's not a fault of the tour company. I subtracted a star because we were informed the day prior that they would not be taking us back to our hotel because of it being the 4th of July. However, traffic was absolutely fine that time of day and there were no road closures. Even hours later much closer to fireworks time, everything was open. We were dropped at Long Wharf which is a 45 minute walk from our hotel. We took the T, but it was still a haul. I feel like some of the cost should have been refunded for the trouble. A big part of the reason we booked a tour company was to take care of getting us there and back from the hotel.

This was such a lovely tour. Nice AC van. Our driver was fabulous. Enjoyed the Trolly. We lunched at Turners Seafood...very good. The witch museum was well done. I spent $$$ The story is so sad re trials but it was good to learn what happened. Went into the Pentigram shop and bought stones for strength power safety etc. Visited the wall/benches where trials took place and cemetary. Thoroughly enjoyed the House of Seven Gables and the story of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Overall, xlnt day.
Duane_D, Jun 2025
Great and safe driver, very knowledgeable, and amazingly kind and helpful. Hit all the sites and got plenty of time to walk the city on our own and do a little shopping. My family is a small family with a teenager and they enjoyed the trip. I highly recommend.

There was a Great itinerary, informative travel guide, great day! Nice and relaxed but also packed in a lot of different things.
Robert_M, Jun 2025
Wonderful trip! Entertaining and enlightening. Rory, our driver, was great. He interacted with us and gave us great tips on where to go and what to eat both in Salem and in Boston. We brought our granddaughter on her high school graduation trip to Boston, and she said this was the highlight of her trip. Thanks, Rory, great job!
Terri_f, Jun 2025
Nice schedule with plenty of “on your own” time to see what you want in Salem. Rory was amazing and provided great recommendations.
Ian_C, Jun 2025
Easy trip from Boston hotels to Salem, we got Rory how normal does not do this trip. But he was a wealth of information and very helpful and respectful to all the guests. I would recommend the trip with theses guys for sure. Given plenty of time to look around and entry into the key places like the 7 Gables House, and the Witch Museum.
Amy_G, Jun 2025
This was our favorite day while in Boston. Our guide was knowledgeable and easy going, and the tour was well curated. We had just the right amount of time for each of the planned activities as well as lunch and shopping. Great tour!

Tania_I, Sep 2024
Matt was great, provided us with good information about Boston and Salem.. Everything was organized for us. Hotel pick up was a bonus. Hit all the highlights we were looking for. Thanks, Matt, for a wonderful start to our vacation.
Lorraine_O, Sep 2024
Very historic town, beautiful houses, plenty of history and great tour guides and attractions in Salem
James_B, Sep 2024
Love doing these small group tours. We had a great time in Salem with James and the rest of the group and I have no hesitation in recommending this tour to others. Well worth the money and the bonus is that our pick up and drop off was at our hotel
Bonnie_T, Aug 2024
Within this tour, there were three separate tours included. We saw a lot what Salem is famous for. So much great information. I would do this tour again if we find ourselves in the area again.
Kristina_B, Aug 2024
Matt was amazing, so knowledgeable and fun. He even gave us a bunch of recommendations for restaurants in Boston and the surrounding areas. Our trip to Salem was easy and stress free. Definitely recommend this trip!
Garrette_E, Aug 2024
The ride was almost as enjoyable as the sites we visited. Our tour guide and fellow passengers had us laughing all the way. The tour company was prompt and convenient. The sites were interesting.
Kim_E, Jul 2024
Matt is a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. I learned so much more about Salem than just the witch trials.
photovision, Jul 2024
Not rushed. Good timing for all visits. Matt, our guide/driver was
Informative, congenial, and very accomodating ! Nice blend of historical sights and information - well beyond the story of short-lived mass hysteria about witches. I would definitely do another tour with Matt or with aviator ! Thank you, Lynn
