Amazing tour! Vijay is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and engaging. I have done several different tours in Salem and this tour taught me several new facts. Standing in a living piece of history was a true gift. The "tea of the time" added to the experience! Absolutely recommend!

Our guide, Vijay, was great. His explanation and knowledge regarding the history of the Daniel House was told in a story-like way which captured your attention immediately. The tour is highly recommended, you won't be disappointed.

Vijay is warm, smart, fascinating and dynamic. He brought the Daniels House to life - and he helped us understand Salem's many layers of history - in a lively and engaging way. Vijay answered our questions with patience and interest. The house is incredible, but also, when we left the tour, Salem seemed to come alive for us in a new way. Before the tour, it was pretty and interesting and sad. After the tour, Salem was alive in our minds and hearts. This tour was the best one we've ever taken - and Vijay was the most talented tour guide we've ever met! Start your visit to Salem here - you will feel it was well worth every penny! Thank you, Vijay!
