We will definitely find other tours! - My husband and I wanted something fun to do in Salem with a little bit of history, but go at our own pace. We signed up for this tour and were pleasantly surprised with how well it was done. We've already looked in to use the same format in other cities. It was super user-friendly and awesome and will definitely use again!

Great way to explore on your own terms - Cool and fun tour you can do on your own terms! Just enough history mixed with corny humor. Very easy to follow - the directions were great!

Nice walking tour - While I did not see any ghosts on this tour, it was a pretty good walking tour around Salem. The stories are interesting, and I learned a few things about the places I stopped.

Great option! - Great way to find the stops. Wish there had been more substance to the facts given. Easy to follow directions. Would recommend. Nice to be in control of where we were going. Easy to stop and explore more along the way.

Salem self-guided ghost tour - My adult daughter and I decided to try the walking tour since we were too late for any organized tours. Our expectations were low but quickly changed once the narration started. The self-guided walking tour was far more entertaining than we expected and extremely easy to follow. It is GPS led, which allows you to walk at your own pace. It was a fantastic value and very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour.

Bought the tour on a whim! - It was confusing to find the Derby Street stop. And quit after that.
You get what you pay for. It was worth the price of the ticket.

Waste of time - After spending a lot of time getting the app to work, (which we did ahead of time,) the directions to get to places were horrible and wasted our limited time. We ended up using google maps.
Neither of us was very impressed by the narrative either. We were only able to get to four places, even though we originally had the time for the whole tour. A waste of time and I do not recommend.
