点评:If you’re visiting Salem, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Thomas Valor. This was my FOURTH tour with Thomas, and I honestly can’t recommend him enough.
Thomas has been doing this for more than 25 years, and it shows. He knows his stuff. His knowledge of Salem, its history, and its stories is incredible, but what really sets him apart is his personality. He’s hilarious, incredibly sociable, engaging, and makes every tour feel like you’re spending time with a friend who just happens to know absolutely everything about the city.
This was also my first tour accompanied by his adorable poodle, Satan, who was a very welcome addition to the experience. (Yes, his name is Satan. And yes, he’s fabulous.)
I’ve been coming to Salem for years and have taken plenty of tours, but I keep coming back to Thomas for a reason. He’s the real deal. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifteenth, book with him. You won’t regret it.
翻译:如果你要游览塞勒姆,务必预定托马斯·瓦洛尔带领的旅游团吧。这已经是我第四次参加托马斯带的团了,说实话,我实在找不到什么词来夸奖他才好。
托马斯从事这项工作已有25年多,这一点从他的专业素养中便能体现出来。他对塞勒姆的历史和典故了如指掌。不过真正让他与众不同的还是他的个性——他风趣幽默,极其善于交际,极具亲和力。他让每一次游览都仿佛是在和一位对这座城市了如指掌的好友共度时光。
这也是我第一次有他在场的游览,当时还带上了他那只可爱至极的贵宾犬萨坦,它的出现让整个体验更加完美。(没错,它的名字就叫萨坦。而且,它确实帅呆了。)
多年来我多次造访塞勒姆,也参加过不少导览活动,但我始终选择托马斯作为我的向导,这是有原因的。他绝对是行家。无论你是第一次来,还是已经来过十五次了。和他一起读书吧。你不会后悔的。
