Hillary was an amazing tour guide. She knew information about the Salem witch trials, local ghost, general information about Salems historical history, and of course, hocus-pocus. We learned so much and more from our tour with Hillary. She also took amazing pictures of us. She provided hand warmers as a nice gesture due to the weather. She also gave us great recommendations for shopping and food for the next day. Overall 10 out of 10 recommendation for our tour with Hillary.

What a fantastic tour! The narration was excellent, the narrator's sonorous voice clearly explaining the history of each part of the trail. He added humor and relatable anecdotes where needed to make the information relevant and timeless. The directions were clear and easy to follow. We loved the Oporto take a break then restart without having the stress of keeping up with a tour group. Absolutely wonderful experience!
