Walking Salem, MA

Published on Oct, 2024

Amazing history of Salem and all the Halloween costumes. So much to see and take in. Beautiful century old homes. I'm a big fan of Bewitched as I grew up in the 60's and 70's. Elizabeth Montgomery's statue was my favorite.

Easy to follow walking tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

This was a great walking tour that we were able to do at our own pace! Being October in Salem, I knew the crowds would be crazy and I wasn’t up for taking a traditional walking tour and struggling to hear the guide. We easily downloaded the app onto our iPhones and could listen with the volume as high as we needed with our EarPods. One note: we had a couple of family members that we met up with who also wanted purchase this tour but they had older phones and could not download the app because it wasn’t compatible with their phone models.

The real Salem Mass
