Q&A

Q: Is the tour fully wheelchair accessible? My sister uses a wheelchair.

A: Yes, the History and Hauntings tour is fully wheelchair accessible! The path is mostly flat and the guides are really accommodating. Just let them know in advance if you have any special requirements, and they’ll make sure you’re comfortable.

Q: What should I wear for the tour? Is it very casual or more formal?

A: Definitely wear casual, comfy clothes! Since you’ll be walking for about 2 hours on cobblestone streets, good walking shoes are a must. Layers are also a good idea since it can get chilly in the evenings. And don’t forget an umbrella if rain is in the forecast!

Q: Can kids join this tour? What’s the age limit?

A: Absolutely, kids can join! There’s no specific age limit, but keep in mind that it’s a walking tour and some kids might get tired. Parents have said their kids enjoyed the spooky stories, especially the ones about the Witch Trials. Just be prepared to keep an eye on them as it can get crowded.

Just booked the History and Hauntings tour for my girlfriend's birthday!

Super excited! We’re going to Salem next month and I can't wait to explore the Witch Trials stuff. The reviews I've read say the guides really bring the stories to life. I hope it’s as good as everyone says! Any tips for making the most out of the tour?

Thinking about gifting the Salem walking tour – anyone done it?

I’m considering this for my parents. They love history and spooky stuff. I heard it’s dog friendly too, which is a plus. What’s the vibe like? Is it fun for all ages?
