We enjoyed the self paced tour - We enjoyed hearing the history and ghost tales to go along with the sights we saw. We sidetracked to go through the Salem Witch Museum before picking up again.

Awesome experience - Steven was an excellent guide. Not just stories and lore, but theatrical too. We even caught some paranormal events on film.

Very enjoyable walking tour at your own pace - Loved the tours, nice mix of historical facts and legends, with nice touches of humour. Loved the fact that the tours allowed us to proceed at our own pace, allowing side visits to the many boutiques and even a bite (a huge one) at Red’s sandwich. Would definitely recommend to everyone who loves history, walking and doing so on your own and not corralled into a group. Discovered Walkntours with the Freedom trail last year and was as happy with the tours in Salem.
