Itinerary
To start the tour, our guide will meet you in front of Brown Palace in a warm heated vehicle for your comfort. Since this location is where the tour ends, you will have the option to take pictures of the hotel lobby in the end. (Highly suggested) The Brown Palace hotel was built in 1892 for the high society and still operates to this day. This hotel is America's 2nd fireproof building, as there was no wood used in its construction. It is no surprise that the Infamous Molly Brown stayed at the Brown Palace after the titanic sunk. (We will visit her haunted mansion on this tour as well). While this hotel is phenomenal to look at, the place is crawling with ghostly activity. Ghosts roam around in the rooms as well as the lobby and restaurants. They are not shy here, I highly suggest spending some time in the lobby after the tour is over :)
Also known as the Navarre House, this gorgeous victorian building hides the deepest and dark secrets of Colorado's with its history of prostitution, brothels and underground tunnels that connect to the Brown Palace and Union Station.
Colorado State Capitol is not only gorgeous to look at but also filled with suspense that you won't find headlined in the "Denver Post". From crimes leading to affair and murders can you spot any lingering spirits such as the headless horsemen?
A park with a million rising bones, yes, you read that correctly. Cheeseman park is filled with tragic and sinister history as it used to be a cemetery for the poor and unwanted. Today, an estimated 2,000 bodies remain buried in Cheesman Park. It comes as no surprise that the spirits of these forgotten, looted, and sometimes desecrated bodies continue to make their presence known, not only at Cheesman Park but in the neighborhood that surrounds it.
Built in 1931, this gorgeous fireproof apartment building is filled with history and haunted spirits. One of the more popular spirits is one of the girl who will open the elevator door for you if your arms are filled with laundry. Strange, yet fascinating.
The Molly Brown house was once owned by "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" who survived the tragic sinking of the titanic. Her historic house has now been transformed into a museum which is filled with spirits and ghostly activity. Could it be Molly?
Known as one of the most haunted streets in Denver, Pennsylvania avenue is truly remarkable as far as its architecture and haunted history.
The Patterson Inn boutique hotel was built in 1891 and is another historic haunted mansion in the Cap Hill area. There are no shortage of mean and frisky spirits here for us to capture.
As seen on Ghost Adventures, the Peabody mansion is known to have a total of 12 unrested spirits haunting the location. In recent years they discovered 2 dead bodies on the property, one of which is still an unsolved crime. Now permanently closed with chained gates, could this place be some type of portal created by the original owner?

I booked this twice. TWICE the tour operator cancelled before I was supposed to go. I was so excited to do the tour and they let me down TWICE!! How do you run a business like this. I’m extremely upset about this!!!
I arrived for the tour at the scheduled time in the pouring rain and waited 20 minutes alone. I messaged the company who let me know they had cancelled the tour. They said this was all due to a technical glitch but unfortunately, it made for a horrible first night in Denver. I hesitate to write bad public reviews as I do know how much it can harm businesses but this unprofessional and disorganized behavior may be a red flag for others booking with this company. I highly recommend making sure you message them the day of your tour to confirm bookings before traveling to any meeting sites.
I booked this first time online for Saturday not on Viator. I got a cancellation refund email from Groupon with no explanation. I reorganized my entire schedule to fit it on Monday instead and rebooked via Viator. I had a gazillion automated confirmations and reminders. On Monday (my daughters bday) we rushed back to the hotel for a 2.30pm pick up. At 2.40pm; I tried to contact the provider. At 2.50pm I again received a refund email and a note from the provider saying they didn’t know about the booking and they were looking into it with Viator (despite the fact that the first booking was not Viator). I was bitterly disappointing given all of the rearrangements and having a huge gap to fill on my daughters birthday. Very very disappointed.
Shay did a great job with the tour. It was easy to find the meeting location. It is obvious she has spent a lot of time learning about each of the places we visited; she had incredible background information. I did not mind we were in a car as it turned out to be quite a chilly evening. The only thing that could make this over the top would be to be able to go into one or two of the buildings - like maybe the Molly Brown house; but we had a great time.
We had a great time, nice vehicle and super good driver/storyteller! We love history and learning about the tunnels underground! Thank you Shaina!
Shay was amazing! We had so much fun. She knows so much about the city and was a fabulous story teller. She was also so accommodating! My boyfriend got a migraine and Shay squeezed in the last story while she drove us all the way home (not to the pick up/drop off spot, all the way home). Can't recommend enough! Thank you Shay!!!!
We do a ghost tour on almost every vacation and this one was by far the best one we’ve ever done! Our guide, Shay, was absolutely amazing; her stories were told effortlessly and they were really engaging. This is the first private tour we’ve done and I’m glad we went that route as we were able to see a lot more than we would have on foot; not to mention the heated car and being able to sit down. Shay was super knowledgeable about all of the history and we can not recommend her and this tour enough!
So friendly and cheerful. Definitely loved what she does and shared history of denver mixed with the ghost stories. One of the best tours I've had! Choosing the driving tour gave us the opportunity to see a lot more of Denver
Shay, the owner, made the tour and experience top notch. From the moment she picked us up, until the moment we were dropped back off, Shay kept us engaged. I've done several walking tours, but this was my first time getting to do a tour by car, and it's been the best by far! We learned so much about the history of Denver and got to see some really cool and interesting locations that we probably would not have been able to visit on a walking tour.
Shay is an amazing, informative and fun guide. My husband and I had a great time with her. The tour was interesting and full of fun facts and information. I would highly recommend this tour. it was great being in her personal vehicle and very comfortable. She was accommodating and the historical and paranormal stories were so very interesting.
