BEFORE YOU GO
Tours start at the Hermetic Art Center, located at 272 Essex Street in downtown Salem. We recommend arriving a few minutes early so we can get started right on time.
Yes! Our walking tours are very dog-friendly, and we’d love to meet your four-legged family member. Just bring water and clean-up bags so everyone has a good time.
Absolutely. We’ll make sure you have a spot at the front of the group so you can see and hear without any trouble. Please keep in mind that the city of Salem is 400 years old, and many of its streets and sidewalks are made of cobblestone and brick — so watch your step and let us know if you need a hand. You can also tell us about any accommodations ahead of time and we’ll do our best to make reasonable arrangements. Just email 1692BeforeAndAfter@gmail.com or call 978-998-5220.
Our tours are not canceled due to weather, so please dress appropriately for the conditions, comfortable shoes, and layers or rain gear when the New England weather calls for it. The show goes on!
