      Fun and informative
      The tour was very fun and informative! Husband was skeptical about the tour but ended up having a good time thanks to the guides Pepper and Bella, not to mention he had an experience smelling random cigar smoke when no one was around who was smoking.

      Great tour
      Larry was our guide and he did a great job of sharing interesting facts about Tombstone along with some spookier stories about different buildings and people in Tombstone.

      No tour guide, no ghosts.
      The tour guide did not show up. Was at the meet up spot 15 minutes before the tour, waited 15 minutes after the tour time with 6 other people, no tour guide. Called the number in the confirmation e-mail and was told 6 people checked in. This is more on the tour guide than on the company but don't know who the tour guide was. Company does not give refunds but rain checks. Not sure i want to go through this with another tour guide.not im

      We went on the Bullets and Bordellos tour and it was great! We got to hear all about the stuff they try to hide in the history books.

      Not quite as advertised
      The guide was funny however there wasn't much of a tour in the way of bordellos and only a few bullets. We took the Dead men's tales last year and it had more of both the bordellos and bullets. Also it's advertised as 18+ but both of my children 5 &15 could have came along it was so tame.

    I have been on many ghost/haunted history tours and this one by far was the worst. It quickly became obvious that this is not a locally owned and operated tour and the information being shared about the towns history was subpar at best. Our guide, Tessa, was not able to answer questions about the town in any detail and her story telling ability was tacky and unprofessional as she proceeded to use trashy and vulgar language in a group that was half filled with kids under the age of 15. Several times she referenced the fact that she "doesn't come to Tombstone during the day" so she was unfamiliar with much of the town. She did not engage the group well throughout the tour or walk the group back to our starting point at the end of the tour. This left a group full of tourists several blocks away from their vehicles in the dark and not knowing where to go. I would NEVER recommend this tour to anyone nor will I book with this company while traveling to other locations. I advise you to do your research and book with a locally owned and operated company.

    Tessia was an excellent tour guide for the Dead Man Tales walking tour in Tombstone, AZ. She is so knowledgeable about the history of the city and you can tell that she loves her job. Even though we didn't see any ghosts in person, she gave so many detailed stories and showed us so many pictures of previous ghost sightings. Highly recommend!

    I have done a couple of ghost tours in tombstone and this was by far the worst of them. I wouldn't say it was horrible but it did leave a lot to be desired. Many of the facts that were provided were inaccurate, or at least very different from what I have heard from other sources. This tour is over priced for what we got, and the tour guide knew it and acknowledged it. In fact went so far as to encourage the group to go on a completely different tour provided by another company. In fairness, it is helldorado week and there were many distractions, although I am not sure I would have had a better experience of we were here a different week with this tour. I would NOT recommend this tour to anyone considering a ghost tour in tombstone. Choose one of the many others.

    So many young children were in attendance for this ghost tour. Due to this, the tour guide was forced to keep the tour very PG. In addition, it was late (after 8pm) and most of the younger kids were tired and bored. The small kids spent their time talking, playing amongst themselves, and kicking dirt, which made hearing the guide incredibly difficult. Please don’t bring your young kids to this and ruin it for everyone involved. I would say your kid should be at least 8 years old. The tour itself was interesting and the guide was great.

    Pepper was super knowledgeable and gave tons of history information. Even my 9 and 14 year olds found it interesting and the older one announced she learned more on that tour tha. In a year of history. Pick your tour time carefully because everything in tombstone closes early and we ended up having to cut out early to get food before there were no options.

    Sooo much fun! Our guide Larry was extremely knowledgeable, we learned a ton about Tombstones history. I didn't think my 4 year old was paying too much attention, but he's surprised me by telling everyone we see all the stories he heard on the tour. It was a perfect mix of real history and its ghost stories.

    It was kind of hard to hear, but I think that was because it was so cold and people kept stopping to take photos. Even though it was very cold, our guide was able to keep everyone together and engaged. Overall, it was a lot of fun.

    The tour guide seemed to stumble alot over his words and repeat himself. It was more a history tour than a ghost tour. He also seemed to push local businesses and restaurants instead of focusing on the purpose of the tour. He then ended the tour 15 minutes early. When you pay this much for a tour you expect better. I will not be using this company again.

    Our family was a group of 11 adults and 3 children and 4 additional people. Our tour guide was engaging with everyone and did an amazing job! We learned so much history and a good bit of paranormal activity. We can’t wait to go back for the adult tour next!

    Tiffany is a great guide. She was so kind and knowledgeable. My 12 yo daughter probably asked her 25 questions. She answered all of her questions and ours. We had a wonderful time. Very personable experience.
    One thing that needs to be updated. The address that is on the email does not go to the correct place on google maps. It would be great if the location of the City Park was listed on the email also.
    Will definitely be back for more tours.
