Good self-guided tour, highly recommend to follow red additional routs. We also visited The Witch House at Salem (historical house of a judge) and The House of the Seven Gables. Highly recommend to have a lunch at Turner's Seafood at Lyceum Hall (great seafood).

My husband and I found this tour lacking and boring. We left early. Would not recommend that you waste your money on this
