Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the Hauntings, History and Legends Tour? Is it a lot of walking?

A: It's definitely a walking tour, so wear comfy shoes because you'll be on your feet for about 60-90 minutes. Dress for the weather since it’s outdoors, and layers are always a good idea, especially in the fall when Salem can get a bit chilly at night. And don't forget your camera for all the great photo ops!

Q: Are kids allowed on the tour? My daughter loves ghost stories.

A: Yes, kids are absolutely welcome! The stories are pretty engaging and suitable for all ages. Just keep in mind that the tour may last up to 90 minutes, so if your daughter tends to get restless, you might want to bring some snacks or a small toy to keep her occupied.

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

A: Yes, you can generally reschedule! Just contact the provider and provide them with the necessary details. They’re usually pretty flexible, especially if you give them a heads up. It's best to check their specific policy on rescheduling when booking.

Just went on the Hauntings, History and Legends Tour in Salem!

I surprised my husband with this tour for our anniversary last week, and it was such a hit! Our guide was super knowledgeable about the Witch Trials and threw in a bunch of ghost stories that really got us in the Halloween spirit. We walked past some stunning old buildings! It lasted about 75 minutes, which was perfect. Definitely recommend for anyone visiting Salem!

Thinking about gifting the Salem tour but worried about the weather!

Hey everyone! I'm looking to give this Hauntings Tour as a gift, but I’m a little nervous about how the weather would affect it. What happens if it rains? Do they cancel or reschedule? Any tips?
