Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for this walking tour in Salem?

A: There aren't any strict age restrictions for the Salem Ultimate History Shadows tour. It’s pretty family-friendly, but younger kids might lose interest since it’s a lot of walking and stories. If you've got little ones, just keep in mind that it could be more fun for them if they're somewhat older and can appreciate the history behind the tales. Overall, it's suitable for all ages if you think they can handle the walking part!

Q: What if the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of my tour?

A: Great question! Since the tour is self-guided and accessed through an app, you can always choose to reschedule it for another day if the weather’s bad. There's no expiration on the tour, so you can enjoy it whenever the weather’s nice. Just make sure to check the forecasts so you can pick the best day to explore!

Q: Can you tell me more about the EMF reader included in the tour?

A: The built-in EMF reader is a fun little touch! It’s not required for the tour, but if you're into ghost hunting or just curious, it can help you check for paranormal activity as you explore. Just keep in mind that while it adds to the experience, the stories and history are what really make this tour special. If you have an interest in the supernatural, it’s a great bonus!

Just did the Salem walking tour and it was amazing!

I took the Salem Ultimate History Shadows walking tour last weekend and wow! The stories about the witches and pirates were so fascinating. Starting at the Witch House was a perfect kickoff, but I loved wandering around Essex Street and the gardens too. The app made it super easy to follow along. Definitely got my steps in! Would totally recommend this as a gift for history buffs or anyone who loves a good ghost story.
