Nice informative tour - This is set up well, if you start at the beginning. We tried to pick up by where we were staying. It doable, but harder to follow. Just go to the start, and enjoy. We put in one earbud each and it was fine. Just note, the red line the author has you follow on the ground has been painted yellow now.

Fun tour~Dawn was great! - Dawn is a great tour guide with an engaging story telling style. We definitely learned things we never knew before. Dawn kept things interesting the whole time. The walk wasn’t strenuous but the sidewalks are cobblestone so definitely uneven in places. Dawn warned us about the uneven sidewalks and streets so we knew to watch out for uneven surfaces. Great time. Glad we did the tour!

5 stars highly recommend! - holy moly was this a great experience. My daughter (9) and I loved this. It was very spooky, great directions, great info - she was properly scared. We loved the Salem history and the references to hocus pocus. A few times we matched up with live tours and I really believe this was better. Amazing value for $5!!!

Great tour! - This tour was great! It is self paced and detailed. As a family of 5 it is hard to travel and vacation because everything is sooo expensive. This was a great, cheaper, alternative to learn about some of the history of Salem to entertain the fam.

Perfect walking tour! - Very good information about the history of Salem! We enjoyed the history as well as the real life puns about local shops! We loved that we could pause when needed to shop as well as the narration between stops!

Pretty Good Tour - Pretty good tour for the price!! The path was a bit confusing to follow at times but I enjoyed the stories and stops!! Every witch museum/experience costs about $15 just to go into in Salem so it was nice to save a bit of money with this tour! Was a bit cheesy at times...

Decent and Inexpensive - Tour was ok but some of the signs/ buildings have changed names so following path was hard sometimes. Wish stories had more details but overall, worth the price and fun to do.
