Beautiful house, fascinating history and an amazing tour guide. Vijay was so friendly and knowledgeable not just about the Daniel's house but also about Salem in general. It was evident he loved sharing the history.Highly recommend a visit. Don't forget to visit the Fairy gardens so sweet!

Though this is a tiny tour ( 3 rooms) the tour is wonderful. It might be one of the best in Salem. Our tour guide Vijay was incredibly informative! No matter what question you had regarding the house, he knew the answer and was knowledgeable about the entire period of time when the house was built. It is a must see in my book!
