5.00We did a tour in Salem and a ghost tour in Boston on our last day we wanted to do a tour nd have the flexibility to start and stop with a break for lunch in case the weather was bad and it was too cold. This was perfect. We enjoyed walking the city at our own pace and listening to the tour. Very informative and fun.
On your own walking tour!

4.00Didn’t want to do the hop in and off trolley and didn’t want to do a big group tour of area. This was nice could pause when wanted and picked up when I was ready to start up again. Informative walking tour. Had a little trouble getting started but called help number and within minutes I was all set.
Excellent
