Cancellations received 48 hours or more in advance of the tour will receive a full refund, minus the processing fee paid at the time of the booking. There is no refund for cancellations received within 48 hours of the tour. This, of course, includes no-shows.
And just in case you might forget (we understand, we forget lots of things too), we send a reminder email 96 hours in advance of the tour to remind you of your reservation and also giving you ample time to cancel and get a refund if you need to!

No. SK Tours is not an avenue to contact or send messages to the King family.
-
No. Unfortunately, a magazine published an article online stating that tours of the King home are available. That is not the case. The King home is not open to the public.
-
No. Unfortunately, a handful of magazines published articles online stating that the King home was going to be converted to a museum. That is not the case. There is no Stephen King museum in the works.
-
YES! But only as a private tour in the red van. We have removed a row of seats in that vehicle specifically to make room for families travelling with dogs
Also, please be advised that one of the stops on our tour is at Mt. Hope Cemetery. Animals are NOT allowed outside the vehicle in the cemetery.
If you have a trained service dog, please send us an email or give us a call.
-
Yes. Please book a private tour so we can make time for photos, questions, and content discussions. The regular tour is not going to meet the needs for this audience.
-
Yes, but considering the duration and tone of the tour we don’t recommend our tour this for kids under 10.
It can be a long tour, the content is not very entertaining for young children, and there is only one bathroom break.
If you are traveling with infants or toddlers, we’d suggest considering a private tour. Private tours can be adjusted to meet the needs of your family.
Children under 5 need to be in a car seat, not provided by SK Tours.
No, we do not offer discounts for children.
-
Yes. There are spots to get out of the bus and take pictures. Since this is primarily a narrated driving tour, we have a lot to cover during our time together. Private tours afford a better opportunity to take pictures since time is less of an issue with a smaller group and smaller vehicle.
-
Probably not. Sightings of the King family are not guaranteed and exceedingly rare. Also, approaching the King family while on our tour is actively discouraged. Let’s give the Kings a little privacy.
-
Not yet. Keep checking back!
-
Yes. Tickets must be purchased in advance as our tours typically sell out quickly ahead of time. To maximize your chances of getting the day, time, and number of tickets you prefer, please book well in advance.
-
Yes. Gratuities are greatly appreciated, although not mandatory. The standard gratuity in the service industry is 15%.
-
We prefer not to. The tour is constantly evolving as we keep up with the King catalog and current events. Also, depending on weather and road construction, the tour route may have to be adjusted.
-
Fortunately, this does not happen often. Unfortunately, we will not hold the tour for you. We keep a pretty strict schedule.
If we start late, we have to either cut out some of the tour to end on time or extend the length of the tour and finish late. Nobody wants us to cut out portions of the tour and some folks are counting on us to end on time so they can get on with their day and the rest of their plans.
We also need the extra time between tours to adequately clean our vehicles for the next tour.
Please also understand that if you miss your tour, we cannot refund your tickets. Please plan accordingly.
Thank you so much for understanding.

We are pretty darn pleased with our new (almost finished) parking lot but space can be limited. We have plenty of space for our buses and our passenger’s cars, trucks, and vans and we can also fit an RV or two depending on their size! So please let us know in advance if you are arriving in an RV.
