Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Ghosts of Christmas Past tour?

A: There isn't a specific age limit for the Ghosts of Christmas Past tour, but I'd recommend it for ages 10 and up. The stories can get a bit spooky, so it might not be suitable for younger kids. Also, kids under 16 should be accompanied by an adult. It really is a fun way to learn about Salem's history during the holidays!

Q: What should I wear for the Haunted Holiday Stroll? Is it outside?

A: Definitely dress for the weather! The stroll is outdoors, so layers are key, especially since winter nights in Salem can get pretty chilly. Comfortable shoes are a must since you'll be walking. Also, if it’s snowy or icy, be cautious! They do provide hot apple cider at the end, which is a nice treat to warm you up.

Q: Can I reschedule if I buy this tour as a gift and the recipient can’t make it?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just contact the Witch City Walking Tours as soon as possible to find another date that works for them. They’re pretty flexible with rescheduling, which is great! Just be sure to give them a heads up.

Just booked the Haunted Holiday Stroll in Salem! So excited!

I just got tickets for the Ghosts of Christmas Past stroll in Salem, and I can’t wait! It’s supposed to be a blend of holiday history and ghost stories, and I’m all about that spooky vibe. Plus, they’re serving hot apple cider, which sounds so cozy! I plan to take my sister as a gift; she loves this kind of stuff. Has anyone done this before? What was your favorite part?

Considering gifting the Ghosts of Christmas Past experience—thoughts?

I'm thinking about getting this Haunted Holiday Stroll in Salem for my best friend. She’s into history and loves all things spooky, so I think it’d be perfect! I just worry about the weather since it’s in December. Is it usually cold? Should I get her a warm scarf as part of the gift?
