- sandydN5683TS0 contributionsFun walking tour and great guide!The tour guide Heather made this tour fun and informative and lead a great walking tour! A couple of stops did not go as planned due to circumstances beyond tour’s control but we seamlessly moved on to other attractions. Heathers voice projected so all could hear.

- Beechez4me0 contributionsFun tour of the cityThis was a great tour. I grew up in Colorado, but have never taken a city tour and so glad I booked this one. I learned about the history of some of the buildings around the city as well as learned about some museums we have that I never knew about. Bill lead our tour and made the tour interesting as well as fun with all of his stories.

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.Written September 21, 2024

This was my first tour I every booked with trip advisor. Let me tell you guys, Ashely was amazing. Despite it being cold and a little windy last night, Ashely's charismatic personality and awesome ability to tell stories kept my mind off the cold. It was very entertaining hearing old ghost stories and learning fun facts about Denver.
Listen to this, during our tour one participant placed her iphone on the ground to record a video of everyone calling the ghost name. The video stopped recording or it's own. No one touched the phone. Spooky things happen during my tour. Something else happened with a cat named EZ. I'll let Ashely tell you lol
I won't share the interactive activity within the tour but this tour is a must if you have 2 hours and 30 minutes of free time. I did the tour at night (7:15pm) and I don't regret it. If you do the tour after 6pm, there is free street parking.
Thank you again Ashely for making the experience won I won't forget.

This was an amazing ghost tour and I completely attribute that to our tour guide, Shelia! She was vivacious and engaging. The places that the tour stopped at were really interesting and I and my cousin got more than a few spooky photos. Back to our tour guide though, she made the stories for each of the locations and was able to balance laughs and a bit of fear in her story-telling. 10/10 would recommend
to anyone interested in the paranormal, either local or just visiting.

Great tour! Our guide Jess is one of the best we’ve had on ghost tours. She had a wealth of information, has a great sense of humor and knew how to project her voice so everyone in the group could hear. A really fascinating tour of some old homes in the Capital Hill neighborhood.

My husband and I visited Denver for our first time and wanted a unique way to get a history lesson in; this was also our first haunted tour of any kind. Jess was our guide, and she was very knowledgeable about the buildings on the tour. Furthermore, she had a great personality and kept the whole group entertained for the 2+ hours that the tour lasted.
We are not speaking for anyone else but ourselves here, but my husband and I both had "experiences" on this trip. Outside of the Patterson mansion I heard a man with a deep, rough voice talking in my ear when the tour guide started talking about a man named Willy who has been known to be seen there. I was standing at the edge of the group and there was NOT anyone standing behind me. I had chills for the rest of the time we were at that house.
As for my husband, he started coughing outside of the Peabody house. He drank some water and I asked him if he was okay, but he could not shake the feeling that he had swallowed a bug somehow and it wouldn't leave his throat - he was coughing and drinking water the rest of the time we were at this house. This was a mere moment before the tour guide instructed us that the home we were in front of had some kind of bug affliction that was associated with Satan of some sort, I forget exactly what was said. But after we were off the block he started feeling better and his throat cleared up.
Now, I am sure these things can be easily explained away but it was so odd that they seemed to happen when they did. We aren't normally believers in this kind of thing, we just thought it would be a fun tour. But you might just experience something creepy yourself if you decide to delve into the "haunted" part of Denver!

Advice from a "flatlander", just Uber or Lyft to the location! If you are not familiar with the area, it can be challenging to find a parking spot, let alone find it when done! Make sure you go to the restroom prior to visiting, so Uber/Lyft to a bar nearby and have a drink (gotta be a customer to use any restrooms around the area) then walk to the location.
Jessica is 10/10 would recommend, lol, she is very energetic and entertaining when it comes to telling the very interesting histories related to the houses on the tour! She showed us pics of figures caught in the windows and orbs from previous tours. I have caught a couple of faint figures in my pics! Fun tour! Denver has such a rich history it is hard to learn it all in a night, TAKE ALL THE TOURS! They are worth it!

Dean did an excellent job showing through the neighborhood and telling us stories about the history and paranormal sightings of different houses and buildings. We took some pretty spooky pictures (like the one shown) and he showed us some too from other tours. We loved the experience

Hi, thank you for writing a review for us. I’m glad that you’re guide did a good job on the tour, and that you enjoyed your experience.
I’m surprised that you mentioned your disappointment on not going into the private mansions, while on the tour. We carefully have included this information in 3 different places, within the tour description, and we mentioned once more in the welcome letter that we sent you. It would be logistically impossible to walk into the privately owned mansions. Maybe you didn’t read the information. I’m sorry that you were disappointed.
Thanks again,

A fun way to see the sites and hear the history of some of Denver's oldest neighborhoods. I was traveling solo and enjoyed joining up with the group. Our tour guide, Jess, had great enthusiasm, was very friendly and could project so that everyone could hear. She's great!

On the tour,were there a lot of stops along the way or continous walking for 1.7 miles?
Written September 10, 2019
We were the only family on the tour that night so the guide went completely at our pace but I think it would stop frequently at any pace because of the close proximity of haunts! Walk was relatively flat and easy which was good because we had JUST FINISHED a WONDERFUL Italian dinner at DiFrancos at 955 Lincoln St!

No, on the Twilight Ghost Tour I was on none of the buildings were open to the public. Although one was a "boutique" hotel, so you could probably get into the lobby later :)

Sorry for the late response. This question somehow was missed. We can accommodate 50, with advance notice. We would typically split the group, and provide two guides. Thus would ensure the highest quality.
