Awesome Experience - This tour was awesome. Nabil, the tour guide, was kind, knowledgeable and generous with his time. He pointed out the best historical sites, best places for shopping and best restaurants. Nabil ensured everyone on the tour got to experience something they wanted to and didn’t rush anyone. Nabil kept us interested with stories of the area and fun facts not taught in your typical history class. Having a private tour allowed us to ask questions and immerse ourselves into the history of the areas. This was truly a wonderful experience.

Beautiful and fun day out of the city - On the way from Boston to Salem, our guide, Nabil, gave us an overview and background story of Salem (what happened, what is real ...what is not). Nabil walked us through Salem and pointed out sites with facts and tales which made Salem known. We drove up the beautiful North Shore up to Cape Anne. Again the history and tales make the trip highly interesting as well as entertaining. Highly recommended day trip out of Boston !

Take the tour!! - What a day!! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the North Shore with Allen. His pleasant personality and historical knowledge was a plus. Our favorite part was exploring the little town of Marblehead. We stopped for a great seafood lunch at Barnaby’s complete with lobster rolls, sat outside and enjoyed the breathtaking view. We watched all the fishermen fish while we enjoyed our lunch. The restaurant owner was even out on his boat lobster fishing!! We had time to explore and see houses dating back to the early 1700s, browse the local shops along Washington Street and stop for photos. Thanks for a memorable day!!

Driving Tour of Boston's Historic North Shore Towns - I thoroughly enjoyed my driving tour of Boston's North Shore yesterday with Nabil through the historic towns of Salem, Danvers, Beverly, Gloucester and Rockport. With his easy-going style and wealth of historical knowledge, Nabil was the perfect guide. THe drive along the coast was magnificent, and what a treat to have authentic new England Clam Chowder in Rockport. I highly recommend this tour!

This tour is North Shore spectacular. - Nabil, our guide for the day, was incredibly entertaining and so very knowledgeable - not only conversant in the complicated history of Salem, but also about the maritime history of the North Shore seaside towns. With spectacular vistas and a competent, learned guide, we enjoyed a perfect day exploring Boston’s neighbors to the north. And wow - our clam chowder at Roy Moore’s in Rockport was divine.

Seaside stories along Cape Ann - Our tour guide took us through the history of the region starting back 700 million years ago — with lots of details about more recent characters and places along Cape Ann. I especially loved the way our route kept us near the shore, as so much of this area’s prosperity and growth came from the sea. A tasty seafood dinner in Gloucester capped off a wonderful day.

Great day on the North Shore with Will! - Will gave us a great tour last weekend. We learned so much and had a great time. The peaceful rose garden in a park where President Taft had his summer White House was a delightful surprise stop. The changing landscape along the coast with fascinating stories of native peoples, witch trials, lost fishermen, and Gilded age estates were well worth the day trip. Highly recommended!

Book this tour, trust me - This tour was phenomenal. I highly recommend it if you are even slightly interested in the witch trials, the founding of the country, or beautiful scenery and stunning ocean views. My favorite was bearskin neck - cutest place i've ever seen! Thank You Tim!
