This was an awesome way to experience Salem and Kennebunk port without all the hassle! AJ arrived in a spacious SUV loaded with snacks drinks and every other road trip essential to make us comfortable! His knowledge of import land marks to visit best, time efficiency of seeing everything we wanted to and friendliness made the trip that much more enjoyable! He even offered to take any and all pictures for us that we wanted! He also had a great knowledge of the history of Salem and the surrounding areas as we walked or drove past different landmarks we got fun information at each site! I would definitely recommend AJ to and his company to anyone looking for a great day trip to Salem!

AJ took us to the Portland Lighthouse and Kennebunkport on the way to Salem. He knows the area so well and we had the best viewing spots! He also took pictures for us so that we had nothing do but enjoy the day. Salem was such a fun place and having a guide that knows the city well is a great way to see it all! I would definitely tour with them again!
