Good with reservations
The excursion was interesting, but our guide was unfocused. He was very knowledgeable but jumped around so it was hard to follow the narrative. Our group was from age 75 to 17 and all agreed with that observation. We did enjoy large parts of the tour so it was worth it overall.
Operator response
Good day, thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We're really happy to hear that you enjoyed large parts of the tour and found it worthwhile overall. It’s also very helpful to know that, while the guide was clearly knowledgeable, the way the information was presented made it hard to follow at times. That kind of insight is incredibly valuable, and we’ll definitely take it to heart as we look at how to improve our tours. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
We hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon. Thank you for choosing us to be part of your adventures.

The scenery of the coasts and gardens. Gloucester is beautiful. Tim our guide was excellent. He was very intuitive as to our tastes. Salem was also very spooky!

North Shore-Salem, Cape Ann
We had an excellent day of touring the North Shore with Martin. He picked us up from our hotel and made us feel welcome the moment we stepped into his van. His pleasant personality and historical knowledge were a plus, as he shared information about all of the towns we visited from Salem to Rockport. We stopped for a great lunch at Woodman’s of Essex and had time to explore, browse shops and stop for photos along our trip up the coast. He even made dinner reservations for us later that evening. I would highly recommend talking a tour with Martin.
