Sorry, no. We don’t manage a wait list.
Cancellations are rare and often at the very last minute.
-
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.

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. Since the content of a Stephen King tour is primarily for adults, limited seats for children are available on the public tours. If you have young children and are concerned about the content of the tour, we highly recommend a private tour so the content can be adjusted for younger eyes and ears.
-
Yes. There are spots to get out of the bus and take pictures. Since this is primarily a driving and talking 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.
-
No, sorry, we don’t.
We have carefully crafted our tours to give you a full 2.5 to 3 hour tour (time may vary depending on the size of the group, time of year, weather, etc…) and to give us time between tours to clean vehicles and address any administrative work that needs our attention (oh, and have a quick bite between the morning tour and afternoon tour ;>). Picking up and returning to a location outside of Bangor (no matter how close) runs the risk of putting us behind or, even worse, cutting your tour short.
We thank you for your understanding.

Fortunately, this does not happen often.
Unfortunately, we cannot hold up a public tour if a party is running late.
