    Ghost tour success
    Victor was amazing! Very informative and entertaining. Easy to follow along and the group size was small enough, that you were able to easily hear and see everything. A great family night out!

    10/10 for Sheila!
    I relocated to Denver from NYC within the year and haven’t taken the time to learn more about the history. I personally love learning about the city I live in. My sister was visiting and this was just what I was looking to do in time for spooky season.

    An Entertaining Night on Capitol Hill
    The tour through Capitol Hill was excellent. Our guide, Sheila, was great. She was a very good story teller & added enough "cheesy" jokes to keep it light. We have been on approximately 12 ghost tours and this one definitely ranks in the top 5.

    Enjoyable time and learned the past and haunts of Denver.
    The guide, Bill, was very personalbe, knowledgable and fun. We heard many stories about Denver's wild west past and learned about the people who infulenced Denver's growth and economy. We walked through different parts of Denver and discovered the purpose of that area of Denver. We ending at the Ballpark museum with numerous historical artifacts (seats, signs, pictures, pennants) from ballparks across the country. The Ballpark museum is a bit unorganized and the space is small. This looked more like a person's personal collection of artifacts, then a museum. The pictures of the past presidents throwing out the first pitch was interesting.

    Best Ghost Tour
    My husband and I decided to do the Twilight Ghost Tour while on vacation in Denver as we had previously done a ghost tour in Chicago and truly enjoyed it. Heather was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable in regard to the history of these haunted properties. She was a great guide and was patient with all the different personalities in our group. She was also very concerned for our safety and was sure to call out any holes and sidewalk cracks we should avoid in the dark. With the tour being on Saturday the 14th and near a full moon Heather was sure we would see some activity on our tour. She was correct as the EMF readers were going crazy. Several people were able to capture pictures of orbs at multiple properties and both my husband and I had every eerie feelings at the Sheedy Mansion. My husband felt an extreme chill come over him and I felt a heaviness come over me and my heart just hurt being there. We both highly recommend the Twilight Ghost Tour, it was a great experience.

    Highlight of my Denver trip!
    I go on ghost tours everywhere I go, and this one was one of the best!! Sean was an amazing tour guide, he was so knowledgeable and friendly, and a great story teller, and made the tour that much better. Learned lots about the history of Capitol Hill, saw lots of stunning architecture, and heard lots of haunted tales. This has been the highlight of my trip to Denver!

This was a long, slow-paced tour due to considerable lulls in the historical information. We felt like the information presented was somewhat canned with social commentary bias interjected throughout each stopping place. Presenting a balanced perspective with better researched information of quick tidbits more frequently along the way would have presented Denver as the interesting city it is. Some good stories, while some were factually lacking.

I’m not sure that you took our tour. The information that is detailed in this review is incorrect, as far as the claim of “Inaccurate information”, and there is no ”Social commentary” in our tour dialogue. This was written in a way that doesn’t match the experience that we provide. It’s a 100% inconsistent with any review that’s ever been written about this tour, or any other tour that we provide; in fact, this is the only “Poor” review that’s ever been written in our 6 year history. To put it into perspective, out of the 330 TripAdvisor reviews that we’ve received, yours is the only one with a “Poor” rating. The customer name on the review doesn’t match any customer on our roster. According to your description, I’m unsure why you didn’t exit the tour, at your leisure, or at the very least, attempt to call or write us to discuss your dissatisfaction, or request a refund; neither of which has occurred.

We took the Best of Denver Tour on July 27 with Eddie and found it a great introduction to the city of Denver. Eddie was very informative and showed us a lot in a short period of time. I would highly recommend for someone looking to get acquainted with Denver history and all that is has to offer.

Heather shared interesting information about the capitol, the art district, and the history of Denver. We enjoyed the tour through the Brown Hotel, past the Firefighters Museum, Molly Brown’s house and the Women’s History museum. Heather took good care of our small group all along the way.

The tour was an information-filled whirlwind, packed full of history and fun facts. Our tour guide Bill was A+. I’d give him more than 5 stars if possible! Despite pouring rain the entire tour, Bill kept us going with jokes and antidotes, and kept the enthusiasm high despite the cold and wet.

Our tour guide was Bill. He did an outstanding job of showing us the highlights and interspersed the sights with stories that brought the history of and the current Denver to life. He was especially sensitive to the group’s needs, like keeping to the shade as much as possible and making sure we were all doing well throughout the tour. He was funny and kept it interesting the entire time. He was also clear with instructions on safety for each of us and the group as a whole. Thanks, Bill!

This was an enjoyable and informative small group tour. In two and a half hours we visited all the key landmarks of downtown Denver and learned so much about the history of the city. Bill, our guide, was tremendous. His presentation was always lively and engaging; and he gave us lots of useful recommendations for our stay in the area.

Not knowing much of Denver, my wife and I were quite satisfied with this walking tour of the downtown area. Bill, our tour guide, pointed out key buildings and areas, and let us in on fascinating side stories. He made it fun, entertaining and informative and even suggested nice photo shots. Had we stayed longer, we likely would have checked out museums and other attractions he pointed out. If you want to get acquainted with downtown Denver in a fun way, this walking tour is a must!
