    Great Tour!

    Paula our guide, clearly loves her job. She's a great story teller and was full of knowledge about the area and had lots of ghost stories. We had a lot of fun and would highly recommend this tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a fun time with Paula. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words about her storytelling and knowledge.

    History paired with Ghost stories

    This easy walking tour, on mostly paved surfaces with some grass, was very enjoyable. Our tour guide, Paula, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Kennebunkport and the many stories related to ghosts and the supernatural. She was friendly, answered all our questions, and helped everyone cross streets safely. I would recommend this tour for anyone who wants to learn a bit of history paired with some ghost stories. Fun but not too scary.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad Paula made the tour fun, informative, and enjoyable. 👻

    90 Minutes Ghost Walking Tour in Kennebunkport: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kennebunkport.

    How much does 90 Minutes Ghost Walking Tour in Kennebunkport cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kennebunkport usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 90 Minutes Ghost Walking Tour in Kennebunkport take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kennebunkport is not rushed.

    Is 90 Minutes Ghost Walking Tour in Kennebunkport worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kennebunkport, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 90 Minutes Ghost Walking Tour in Kennebunkport?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 90 Minutes Ghost Walking Tour in Kennebunkport suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 90 Minutes Ghost Walking Tour in Kennebunkport?

    +

    Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kennebunkport can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kennebunkport and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 90 Minutes Ghost Walking Tour in Kennebunkport start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kennebunkport within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kennebunkport?

    +

    Kennebunkport, ME packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Kennebunkport by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Kennebunkport experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include A Walk Through Time in Kennebunkport - Celebrating 200+ Years!, Sail Away: Explore Maine's Coastal Beauty on a 2-Hour Excursion, Kennebunkport Historic Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kennebunkport?

    +

    Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Kennebunkport, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kennebunkport?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 90 Minutes Ghost Walking Tour in Kennebunkport?

    +

    Included: Guided haunted history walking tour of building exteriors. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
