“Horrible! I asked and got a refund. Visiting Salem was on my bucket list and we drove almost 10 hours to see the place. The app kept taking me all over town and we never found one site to visit. The place smelled like pot, dog crap, and vaping, the people were rude, and the employees seemed annoyed at all the tourists. I asked five different employees for directions to The Witch House since the app took me nowhere, and all five employees told me different things but I never found it. The whole town is about money and there is no respect shown to the accused and the people…”
