Easy to follow & great narrator. A perfect choice if you want to explore Salem at your own pace while getting an overview of the history.

jennifertX6300VO

The app is very easy to use and the narration kept even my teenagers interested in learning about the history in Salem. I am going to look for more look for more self guided tours from this creator.

Thomas_H

Very cheap activity to do. Tickets sell out almost every day so you must buy them online starting at midnight the day you want to go. The activity wasn’t worth spending the hour it was very dated, basically a few maniqin sets you look at with a voice over. Very cool outside of the building though. Gift shop is accessible from outside.

We were so happy that we purchased this tour. We learnt a lot of the history and were able to visit Salem at our own pace. We also enjoyed the extra alternates added into the app. The app guides us and starts when we are at the next stop. Highly recommend this tour.

Great self guided tour if you don’t really know anything about salem! Had lots of detail and a map to show where to go that connects to google or apple maps!! Great price and you only have to get it on one phone if you really are trying to save money!

thomasfZ9700JI

Excellent self-guided tour! Salem is a zoo on weekends so it was just perfect having our own narrator and the app worked well. Very informative and enjoyed being able to take breaks and easily resume.

Joseph_B

Waste of money. Never received the link. Rip off. Sent me to the visitor center and they knew nothing about the tour.

Greg_T

This was a great way to move at our own pace with the kids on a busy day in Salem! Very easy to use and well worth the price.

Bridget_E

Well worth the money! This tour gets you out of the big crowds and makes the trip more enjoyable. Make sure to not forget your headphones as some places are heavily populated which makes it difficult to hear with just the speaker. Would definitely recommend!

jordanhK4194OI

My husband and I did this tour together in October and it was great! We were able to do it at our own pace so we could stop and do other town attractions and then pick up where we left off. It was a great mix of historical and legend as well.
