The route covers approximately three miles at a fast pace and includes stops at Salem Common, Salem Old Town Hall, Ropes Mansion and Garden (known as Alison's house in the film), Broad Street Cemetery, and ends at Salem 1630: Pioneer Village, the oldest living history museum in the United States. The group spends about fifteen minutes at both Broad Street Cemetery and Pioneer Village. Along the way, the guide provides information about the Salem Witch Trials, the city’s maritime history, and how Salem became known as the "Witch City."

Transportation back to downtown Salem is not included and must be arranged independently. The group size can be up to 40 people. There are no public restrooms along the route.
