Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this tour? Is it suitable for younger children?

A: There’s no strict age limit for this tour! It’s family-friendly, so kids of all ages can join. The guide adjusts the storytelling to keep it engaging for younger ones, and there’s often a fun ghost story to keep them entertained. Just keep in mind that it lasts about an hour, so make sure the little ones can handle that!

Q: What if the weather is bad? Do they cancel the tour?

A: They typically go out rain or shine, but if the weather is really bad, they will notify you about rescheduling. It’s best to check ahead on their website or call if you’re unsure. Dressing in layers is a good idea, since Massachusetts weather can change on a dime!

Q: What should we wear for the walking tour? Is it all paved roads?

A: You should wear comfortable shoes since it’s a walking tour and some areas might have cobblestones! Dress according to the weather, but layers are always a good choice in Salem. The route is mostly paved, but do be ready for some uneven spots.

Just booked the 'Stars & Stripes Forever' tour for next weekend!

I’m so excited! I’ve been to Salem a few times but never really learned about its military history. The fact that it’s family-friendly is a big plus since I'm bringing my kids along. I just hope they can handle an hour of walking. Has anyone done this tour before? What should I know?

Anyone know if this tour has any ghost stories?

I read that this isn't a Halloween tour, but are there still some spooky tales? I think that would really make it fun for my teen! Planning to buy this as a gift for him.
