We were in town for one day and wanted to tour the sites. We found this tour online and it was just what we were looking for. Interesting stories and history. Would recommend.

Our guide was very interesting and knowledgeable. Had a great time. (Was sad to find out the city had closed the cemetery and we couldn't go in, but not the guides fault.)

Rory did an excellent job setting the scene for the era's covered by him during the settlement of Salem. I was amazed at the plethora of knowledge Rory had about Salem. Highly recommend taking this tour. Bill Maher
