Boston Day Tour by Ferry: Salem Witch Trials Past to Present

Przegląd
Salem, Massachusetts: a quaint, sleepy, Puritan fishing village where nothing exciting happened...until peculiar things began to frighten the otherwise quiet community, and the fear of witches among them drove the village to its breaking point. Known for the infamous 1692 Witch Trials, Salem offers the unique opportunity to dive into the true history of what actually happened in the very setting where these stories took place. Visit eight significant sites and learn about the town's seafaring past as your guide reveals what drove reasonable townsfolk to utter hysteria on this perfectly planned day trip from Boston with a small group of 14 people. Depending on the day of your tour, you'll visit the Salem Witch Museum (Sunday-Thursday tours) or the Real Pirates Museum (Friday & Saturday tours).

Our tour guide, Elizabeth, was very friendly and knowledgeable. She walked at a good pace with stops at various sites along the way. She also had many good recommendations for shops and restaurants as well as other sites and streets to visit outside of our tour. She also provided us with information on how to get back on the ferry or how to take the train back to Boston if we wanted to stay in Salem longer. Excellent guide!
