The Trolley tour was great~our guide was wonderful, he had a sense of humor and really gave us lots of info on the history of Salem. The cost of the tour was very reasonable, and you can get off and on at all of the stops. There was so much to see and do, I wish that we had started... More

I highly recommend this tour. You get a great overview of Salem and the behind the scenes information. You are also able to get off and on at any of the stops. However, I recommend starting as early as you can. We lost track of time and could not use the trolly to make it back from The House of... More

I would highly recommend this tour. We had a great guide, who l believe was a retired teacher. Very knowledgeable. This tour will provide and executive summary about Salem. Tour allows you to get on and off at attractions for one fee. Takes one hour to complete entire tour start to finish.

We did this when they opened for the morning our first day. The trolley takes two loops and you get tons of history and fun facts on the trolley. Most of all it gives you the lay out of the town and the distance between the different sites, so you know how far apart things are, if they are walkable.... More

Not only was the Tales & Tombstones Tour a lot of fun, but the information and stories shared made for one of the best Haunted Happenings attractions in Salem. Will have to come back for the traditional tour some time. It was well with the time/money/etc. JR

This is a really good way to see Salem and learn about different areas of the town, it also allows you, if you buy an all day ticket to use the service on a hop on hop off basis between the various attractions in the town. The guide we had who gave the commentary was very knowledgable on the history... More

We went to the Regional Visitor Center and learned where to park for the day. Outside the center was the trolley stop. For the one price you can ride all day. The Downtown District took you through the city and all the museums, cemeteries, and places of interest. You can hop off and get onto the next trolley in about... More

We took the daytime tour, its one hour, you can get off and on whenever you want and as much as you want for a one day ticket. We chose to ride the whole hour, which I HIGHLY recommend. You get a nice overview of the town and learn a lot of the history. This was one of the best... More

Took the trolley tour this past weekend and it certainly covers a lot of ground. The guide shared a lot of information about the different parts of Salem and their importance to the growth of the town. Truly enjoyed the trip down Chester Street. Would certainly recommend it to first time visitors.
