Great Tour - Really good audio tour- we purchased 2 and both wore airpods throughout. We loved that it was self-guided and could pause whenever we wanted to stop or go off route, and that weren’t held to a group schedule. I would 100% recommend this to anyone visiting Salem that’s not keen on gimmicky tours.

A perfect way to see Salem - This was amazing. Go at your own pace… stop for a coffee or a beer… take in some really fascinating facts. Well worth it and well worth doing it with friends or family.

Overall a good experience - Self guided tour was a little choppy-sometimes we were standing in the circle where it app should have activated and nothing happened. In other cases, the walking guidance was very clear and helpful.

Very informative witch trail tour - Very informative and interesting tour. Our guide was bubbly and excited to do her tour. Appreciated her interest in the group and our overall experience during the tour. There was a couple places that we stopped in close proximity to but weren't able to actually go in front of that she spoke about like the old witch jail. I wish we could have gotten a little bit closer but the overall tour was definitely great and I would recommend.

Incomplete - At site 14 the tour booted me out and I couldn’t get it back leaving me with no map or narrative to get me back. I had to Google maps the armory to get back.
