Des was awesome! She is a hoot and a half and an excellent storyteller. She is obviously passionate about her work which makes the entire tour incredibly special. I love to learn about history and Des certainly knows her history. It was fascinating to hear about her research about Traverse City as well as the local stories which she has first hand experience with, as she grew up in TC. Plus, ghost hunting is fun! I really appreciated Des’s methods. For any nerds out there, she really does use the scientific method. If you enjoy history, great puns, and wonderful company, I 100% recommend this tour.

A great tour, full of Traverse City history. We have experienced several ghost tours in different cities and this tour stacks up. Des is a local and clearly loves this town and its stories. Highly recommend.

We were in TC over the 4th of July for the Cherry Festival and decided to jump on to a ghost tour the first night we got in. The tour took us all over downtown Traverse City, and was a great introduction to some of the history and hauntings of the city. A highlight was getting to do a short paranormal investigation ourselves at the end of the tour. Can't say enough about how great Des was with us and how much we enjoyed her tour. Definitely great for folks of all ages!

The tour was extremely well done, Des does an amazing job at explaining the history of places with the paranormal stories, and she knows a lot on both topics. The only downside was not being able to go in and explore the places. I would definitely go on this tour if you’re looking for good ghost stories and to learn about the history of the city without the fear of a ghost getting you!… well until you get to the park.

Thank you for the kind review. It was a pleasure hosting you and I wish you many more spirited adventures. This tour is a 100% outdoor walking tour and for good reason. We have many places to explore! Wishing you a spirited summer, Dez

My wife is really into ghost tours, so I got tickets for our anniversary. We were both entertained throughout the tour. Our guide, Des, did a great job and was knowledgeable about Traverse City and ghost stories. A great way to spend an evening here.

What a great way to learn the history of Traverse City! Des was passionate and knowledgeable of history as if she’s lived it her whole life. Her stories were presented exquisitely and with no hesitation whatsoever. Puns were perfectly preformed. Just enough surprises to delight any age! Don’t miss this tour…it may haunt you for the rest of your life!

Dez was an amazing tour guide. Me and my wife went on the last tour of the year. By far the best ghost tour we have been on. She is very rich in the history and knowledge of Traverse city. The stories of the towns people and her experiences are something everyone should hear. We will do another one of Dez's ghost tours again and are looking forward to it.

Desiree was a fantastic tour guide. She was funny, and she did a great job of giving history of Traverse City while explaining the stories behind the hauntings she told. There were small kids, teens, and adults, and she was masterful at keeping everyone engaged but not scaring the kids. There was a fun surprise adventure at the end, too. As a native of Michigan, I have always viewed Traverse City as beautiful vacation spot but never really thought about the history of the city, and I enjoyed how Des gave that context. Having done other ghost tours, I rate this one of the best!

Our tour was so full of historic information around the downtown of Traverse City. Including some actual ghost hunting with some equipment as well. It was so much fun. Our tour person was very friendly and kind.
