AJ took us to the Portland Lighthouse and Kennebunkport on the way to Salem. He knows the area so well and we had the best viewing spots! He also took pictures for us so that we had nothing do but enjoy the day. Salem was such a fun place and having a guide that knows the city well is a great way to see it all! I would definitely tour with them again!
