Description

Welcome to the self-guided Salem Witch Trials Tour in Salem, Massachusetts!

The Salem Witch Trials:
Get ready for a seriously harrowing tale. The quaint, picturesque Massachusetts town of Salem hides a dark, chilling history, and we’ll tell you all about it. Walk these historic streets and uncover the story of the Salem Witch Trials, where a frenzy of paranoia and superstition turned the townspeople against each other and drove them to kill their own neighbors.

Journey back to the 1600s and meet those responsible for the witch panic, from vengeful children to cruel men of the law. Meet their victims too — innocents who were swept up so suddenly by the plague of fear and paid the ultimate price.

Retrace these tragic events and discover why they have fascinated and terrified people for hundreds of years, prompting the creation of countless movies, shows, and even Arthur Miller’s famous play The Crucible.

To walk through Salem’s history is to peer into the darker corners of the human mind—a place where good people become capable of doing great evil. Who knows what we can unearth when we shine a light on these dark corners?

Featuring riveting stories, a phenomenal narrator, and easy automatic audio, this app puts exploration in the palm of your hand!

Thrilled, thrilled, thrilled!

I’m so pleased I took this tour when we visited Salem for a daytrip. Every other guided tour group was PACKED while we strolled all around on our own, enjoying every stop for however long we wanted to! I took a risk and only bought one tour to split with my husband. Next time, I will just buy two because there was a lot of street noise/loud voices and it would be more convenient for us to each be able to listen with our own headphones. And frankly the value for money is unbeatable.

Developer Response ,

Yay!! Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I’m so glad you two were able to enjoy Salem even though it was so busy (October is a pretty popular time here!). When it gets loud, it’s definitely more convenient to have the tour on each person’s phone individually. Hopefully you and your husband get to try some of our other tours in the future! Thanks again!

Wonderful!!

Absolutely loved this little self-guided tour. We decided that it was risky to pay for/schedule a larger walking tour with a guide bc we were coming to Salem with a toddler… and they can be, well, unpredictable. I was afraid of disrupting other people on the same tour as us or any tour guide so I found this app ahead of time. Totally perfect for us bc we could listen and walk at our own pace/take breaks for the toddler when needed. Perfect!

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the great review! It definitely made our day — especially because we know the value of flexibility and convenience when visiting a new place with family! Self-guided tours make every trip much easier to handle. If you’d like more self-guided experiences for other locations, please check out the rest of our tours via the menu. Thanks again!!

Worth every penny

The app is really good. We realized that we had missed so many buildings when we came here the last time. This time, my wife found this app in advance. It helped us with a map like Google map and stories played on its own. The voice is quite enthusiastic. Map route is long. Plan two hours. We stopped a couple of times for lunch and shopping. I would recommend this one.

Developer Response ,

Yay! Thanks so much for the review! So thrilled you enjoyed the tour.

If you’re planning a few more trips like this, we have all sorts of similar tours both in Boston, Cape Ann, Cape Cod, and beyond (Newport, Acadia, etc.). Hopefully, you get the chance to use some of these in the future!
