We were showing an out-of-town friend the glories of Salem at Hallowe'en-time, and decided to sign up for a tour. Really glad we did; we had a wonderful time! We did the daytime Historical Walking Tour, and drew Lara as our guide. She was as close to perfection as you could ask for: warm, friendly, engaging and thoroughly knowledgeable. While her presentations at each stop included a good deal of detail, she spoke more in the manner of a storyteller, which made everything much more inviting (particularly for someone like me, who usually doesn't care for 'touristy' activities). She was happy to take questions and was full of little interesting side-stories, and was even able to make some recommendations on places to eat & drink afterwards! She also presented without the use of amplification, which was a real plus; that may seem a small thing, but to me it's the difference between being spoken *to*, rather than *at*. The tour route is made up of short walks and multiple stops, so your feet won't be aching at the end; I'd say the distances would be suitable for anyone who can walk unassisted. The tour lasted just shy of ninety minutes, but it flew by! Next time, I think we'll do the nighttime Ghost Tour...
