Board a narrated bus tour through the real-world locations that inspired Stephen King's fictional Derry — a bucket-list pilgrimage for fans of America's master of horror. Intimate, expert-led, and deeply atmospheric.
What to expect
Your guide — a true King scholar — leads the group on a rolling tour past King's famously ornate Victorian home, his first apartment, Bangor Public Library (inspiration for scenes in IT), and the storied Evergreen Cemetery. The narration weaves together biography, literary context, and local legend, making every stop feel genuinely revelatory. The group is kept intimate, ensuring plenty of time for questions and photographs at each location. Expect genuine chills — literary and otherwise.
