Itinerary
History and hauntings come together as you get to know the restless spirits residing in some of Denver’s oldest and beautiful buildings. Union Station is so important to the history of Denver and we take you inside. From the iconic Union Station to the bars and brothels and seedy characters that used to call the LoDo neighborhood home, this area is perfect for a Denver ghost tour! Join our world-famous tour guides as we enter some of the city’s most haunted buildings and discover the tunnels beneath the city and their dark paths and history. We’ll even hit some spots that you didn’t know were haunted! Our ghost tours take place year-round, just like the Denver ghost stories we bring to life. Come ghost hunting in the Mile High City and discover its dark side. We have access to a couple of Denver’s most haunted locations and take you inside the seedy underbelly of Denver.
The former building that housed Tattered Cover bookstore before it closed is a stop on our walk outside. Things still linger and we'll show you a part of history that most of the locals have forgotten.
On our walk outside. we stop at the A5 Steakhouse which is located in the former famous Wazzee Supper Club. This building is the reason the LoDo became such a popular area of Denver. It has tunnel connections and a very special spot in Denver's past.
On our walk outside thru the streets of Denver we stop by several buildings and tell you their past and what may still linger. The Sugar building was instrumental in the formation of Denver and the surrounding cities.
One of the favorite stops on the tour. We take you inside one of Denver's first luxury hotels and reveal it's haunted history.
If time permits, we head over to this hidden speakeasy bar located in the Ice House building. We stop by and poke our heads in to see what we can find.

Tour guide was fantastic and super knowledgeable. I've lived in Denver for almost 2 decades and learned so many new things about this city!
The amount of time the tour took was longer than specified. The title of the tour needs to better reflect what you're actually going to be hearing about. The information was interesting though.
Jonathan was a great guide! We learned so much about the spooky history of Denver
