We had an amazing experience on our tour and saw so many beautiful sights! The guide picked us up from our hotel. We learned so much about the areas we visited. So fun!!

I have used Trailblazer Tours several times this year for business. This time it was a private personal tour. Martin is an expert historian and super safe driver. Salem was interesting but it was a Saturday in October. Translation: super busy. I suggest a week day or visit in another month to fully appreciate the history of the city. We then drove to Rockport, a quaint and adorable community on the ocean. Thank you, Martin, for recommending this stop and for a super delicious late lunch at My Place by the Sea. Yummy, fresh seafood with a gorgeous water view.

We took a full day tour that included a walk around Salem, MA and a trip up the coast. Martin was a wonderful guide and showed us many nice things about Salem that we didn't know (even though we've been to Salem many times before!). Also, he knew just the place for our group to go to lunch and helped us get a table even though there was a line out the door. We had a wonderful day and will definitely use him again for other trips around the city.

This is our 3rd private tour with Martin. He doesn't disappoint. His knowledge of history is very interesting and informative. We always want to hear more. Martin's knowledge of the witches of Salem was very informative. Martin also took us to Gloucester,Ma where we saw the famous Gloucester Fisherman. If you want a great tour with a great guide Martin with Trailblazer tours is the best.

What an amazing experience! We were blown away by all the knowledge and expertise Martin has. He should us amazing sites and each stop was very enjoyable. We loved the stop in Rockport and he took us to the most amazing restaurant. On top of the tour, he went above and beyond by recommending restaurants in Boston and making reservations for us where we were treated very well by the restaurant staff as friends of Martins. Highly recommend!!!
