Great price, FANTASTIC tour - My husband and I wanted to do a tour but were on a time crunch, so this tour was PERFECT! It really showcased everything to see in Salem and took us about an hour and a half to do!

Great way to see Salem at your own pace. - It was so nice and easy. It’s a really great way to familiarize yourself with the layout of Salem at your own pace. So easy to use and a lot of fun. We frequently paused the tour to go in shops and browse. We loved that.

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.

Tour is great but being double charged by a San Francisco start up sucks - Honestly input the number of adults that I was with, one my girlfriend, as I thought that this would have some bearing on the tour itself. The only difference is the price. It's a SELF GUIDED TOUR, why would you even have an option to add more people to a tour that once it is purchased can be used with as many people you want to share your experience with. Being charged for TWO tickets to a SELF GUIDED TOUR is like being charged for every walking tour you happen to walk by and hear some of their stories. Asinine!
