Tours are fully guided. Try the "Explore More" tour. They take you into the secret seance room, and the basement!
Yes! You will be with a small group and a guide. You visit 110 rooms in about an hour.
Yes, every tour has a guide that is knowledgeable about the history of the mansion and Sarah Winchester. The tour has improved over the years and they are restoring the mansion. To learn more of the mansion get the book/magazine and read it prior. I stumped the tour guide a few times with the book's history vs her knowledge. Very entertaining, also do "tour more" tour, they have a bunch more rooms open!
Yes
Sorry. Apply your question later. But it is still hard for me to answer this question. If you want to explore more about it, you should. If your budget is limited, you shouldn't.
Yes you will have a guide.
