SK Tours of Maine is the only tour company that offers private, narrated tours of the Stephen King sites in and around the Bangor, Maine area. Each tour is 2.5+ hours long and highlights various spots that pertain to all things “King.” You will see places he has lived and worked, places that have inspired his stories, and actual film locations from his movies.
Our Private Tour option would be fun for birthdays, holidays, wedding parties, reunions, or simply something fun for the whole family!

*Pets are permitted on this private tour but one of the stops we make is at Mt. Hope Cemetery. This is a beautiful location that inspired some of Stephen King’s works and some filming was even done there – but please be advised that pets are NOT allowed outside the vehicle in the cemetery.
