So much history and interesting background of the town. Not as much focused on the Salem witch trials, so I recommend doing a tour of that before this one. If you want someone with tons of knowledge, this is your tour!

Guide did not want to be there...maybe?

I almost didn't want to leave a review, but....Worst tour in 30+ years of travel. The guide spoke only 5 times, and we walked without talking the rest of the time. We went to the cemetery, but could not go in, went to houses that were less than interesting, and were told how "that is on the other tour" about many of the sights.
