My husband and I had a great time on this tour. Bob was a fantastic driver/guide. He was informative and charismatic. We loved Marblehead and had a great time in Salem.
Bob, the bus driver was fantastic. He handled that bus like it was an extension of himself. And he went out of his way to give us our money's worth. We got out of Boston late, but he made sure we saw everything, even asking if anyone needed to get back early. When no one said yes, he extended the tour about 2 hours beyond when it was supposed to end. While we were in Salem, he gave us his personal cell phone number in case we got lost from the group. His knowledge of the events and areas we visited was wonderful and he added interesting tidbits that he had personally researched. The next time we're in Boston, I hope we get Bob again. I'd recommend this tour to anyone.
The trip was WONDERFUL thanks to the BEST tour guide imaginable - BOB JOHNSON! He is the most knowledgeable guide we met in Boston. It was the best tour of all, we learned a lot and had wonderful time!!! Thank you, Bob, we will remember you !!! Lena and Olga from Albany.
We were very lucky they organized this trip only for 3 people. Absolutely fabulous. One thing could be improved: At the Peabody Essex Museum that we visited at the end of the afternoon, the last tour of the typical houses is at 2PM, so we should be here at 2PM. We had the opportunity to see the cemetery where the witches are buried, near the museum. It's not planned in the visit but is free - should definitely be included in the tour, really interesting to see.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! A great time to visit Salem so close to Halloween! Great coach driver who entertained us all on the trip. We visited Marblehead en-route to Salem which boasted magnificent homes. hen we arrived in Salem my husband and I enjoyed the tour of the Witch Museum and the history of The Salem Witch Trials! We also managed to have time to fit in a guided tour of the House of the Seven Gables - both these tours well worth the visit! Everyone associated with the tours from the driver to the guides were very knowledgeable and friendly and made our trip to the East Coast extremely enjoyable!! Many thanks.
We had a great time. Our tour guide was fabulous. I would recommend this trip to all.
Fabulous. Do not miss visiting Salem if you're going to Boston!
Fun, Interesting and our driver, Bob was extremely entertaining. What a memorable tour we will never forget. Thanks Bob !
A very good day although we would have liked longer in Salem itself - so much to see and do! Bob was a great driver and tour guide and "Tell them you're with Bob" became a catch phrase for us.
The drive across the causeway into Marblehead's finest real estate on the way home was fascinating and provided an insight into how the other half live although we would have preferred a shorter stop on the way to Salem and more time for exploration there as that was the main object of taking the tour.
Great tour and thanks to Bob!!
This was a very good tour . Bob the driver really knew his stuff... The stop at the Seven Gables is a must .
This tour was very enjoyable. The tour guide was good fun and gave us plenty of information. The tour lasted a lot longer than stated and we got a lot for the money spent. Salem itself was a little disappointing, very commercialised, and failed to get across the real horror of what happened there.
The driver was entertaining and kept us amused with all his tales and observations. Salem was fascinating though I felt a bit overwhelmed with the witch story by the end of the morning. A lunch venue was suggested which I am sorry I took up as it was ordinary to say the least. But you can choose your own place to eat. The House of Seven Gables is really worthwhile visiting. The trip back through Marblehead was beautiful and should not be missed. Heavenly views! Be prepared to get back into Boston quite late!
The bus driver Bob was great and he took us along the coast with some beauitiful scenes. Salem itself was a waste of time. The tours we did at Salem were weak. Overall I rated it a 8 because of Bob.
Our driver Bob was great! The stops were very interesting. Would recomend this one.
Bus was comfortable, driver very knowledgeable. Some passengers didn't get lunch due to busy restaurants and not enough time. Had to make a choice between Witch Museum and Hawthorne Museum for a short visit (or skip lunch and walk a mile between the 2), then everyone boarded the bus for a very short drive to the Peabody Museum (where I really enjoyed the temporary exhibit). We were given the option of all 3 museums if you skipped lunch and able to work 1 mile.
