Frequently asked questions

How easy is the tour route to navigate?

Our tours can pose challenges for participants with mobility and accessibility concerns. Each participant must be able to complete the one-mile tour in 90 minutes. As Salem is a historical city, there are narrow and uneven sidewalks, bricks, cobblestones & stairs. Crowds can add to this challenge.

Are there bathrooms at the starting point or on the route?

There are no bathrooms at the starting point and none along the route. There might be port-a-potties in October that you will pass. Bathrooms are available at the Witch City Mall, the Visitor's Center and Artist's Row. Restaurants will not allow you to use the bathroom unless you are a customer.
