Phoenix History, Mystery & Ghost Hunting
Description
Most ghost tours walk you past haunted buildings and tell you the stories. On this one, you help investigate them. This interactive downtown Phoenix experience blends haunted history, local legends, true crime, and live ghost hunting at select stops using real equipment—including EMF detectors, dowsing rods, and spirit boxes. You won’t just listen. You’ll ask questions, track responses, and experience Phoenix’s darker side for yourself. And unlike standard walking tours, this experience doesn’t stop at the sidewalk—you’ll also step inside two historic locations for live investigations, giving you access most tours don’t offer.

I have been on at least 100 ghost tours, but never seen anything like what I seen on this tour. There was definitely interaction from beyond.
Thank you so much — this made our whole haunted little night. 👻 Coming from someone who’s been on 100+ ghost tours, that means a LOT. We can never guarantee activity, but when the energy shows up… Phoenix does not play. Thanks for getting ghosted with us!
Erika was a fantastic tour guide! Had a lot of fun using the ghost hunting equipment and really liked the small, intimate group setting. Definitely recommend!
Thank you so much for joining us! We’re so glad you had a great time with Erika — she does a fantastic job bringing the stories to life. It’s always fun when guests get to use the ghost hunting equipment and experience the tour in a smaller, more intimate group setting. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again on another haunted adventure soon!
I went on a 2 hour tour with Get Ghosted Phoenix, which is by far the best, most authentic ghost hunting company in Arizona. On the tour was two strangers, and we had the most extraordinary experience. The lady that was there in the group and I had a very strange and paranormal experience, as it seemed like I could read her mind, and we were in unison through the tour. The tour was really exciting and every location we experienced something paranormal. The EVPs were wild!!! It's hard to explain, but at every single location, we had a connection with some sort of the paranormal. I felt extremely safe. My tour guide, Valentina, was absolutely amazing, and she really knew the history, not just of the paranormal experiences and stories of each place, but she really knew the city very well all the areas were spooky but well lit. Because we were all women, she even stopped for us at the Renaissance Hotel for a potty break and got us all waters. Just the level of customer service that you can't find anymore. My whole experience was really great. The owner, Nadine, was really great in coordinating with me from the time that I bought my ticket, all the way through to challenges with parking. She was able to guide me, and Valentina helped me because I got lost in the parking lot. This tour company really goes above and beyond to make an exceptional experience for all guests. Highly recommend to wear comfortable shoes and bring a backpack or bag to carry stuff. High value-great price for the experience! Looking for something different to do at night rather than bars? This is totally it!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this—it truly means a lot to us. We’re thrilled you had such a powerful and memorable experience, especially on a first ghost hunt, and that you felt both safe and well taken care of throughout the night. Valentina is an incredible guide, and she’ll be so happy to hear your kind words about her knowledge and care for the group. We’re also glad we could help with logistics and parking—downtown can be tricky, and we never want that to take away from the experience. Thank you for trusting us with your evening and for such a thoughtful recommendation. We’d love to get ghosted with you again another tour someday!
A very interesting tour - with history and mystery! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and personable and we def saw evidence of paranormal activity!
Thank you so much for leaving a review! We are so happy you enjoyed the historic and haunted hybrid of the tour! Getting activity is always spooky fun! We hope to see you again on of our new, upcoming tours!
I feel that when you are doing a late event like 8:30 PM and later you should not allow the attendance of children.
Thank you for joining us and for sharing your feedback! We completely understand — our evening tours can have a darker, more mature atmosphere. We welcome guests ages 8 and up on most experiences, but for those looking for an adults-only evening, our Spooks & Spirits tour is designed specifically for that. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again for another night with the spirits.
It was okay. One of the stops on the itinerary should have been Hotel San Carlos (it’s listed on the booking). Kind of bummed because I knew that Hotel San Carlos was an active spot (I think it was on Ghost Adventures). We stopped at the Renaissance Hotel instead (before Melinda’s Alley). Not scary at all but informative.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! You’re absolutely right — our listing did still mention the Hotel San Carlos, and that’s our mistake. We’ve updated some of our tour routes over time and forgot to change that detail on TripAdvisor. I truly apologize for the confusion! The Hotel San Carlos is now featured on our Central Phoenix Screamix tour, while the stop you experienced — the Renaissance Hotel — has its own fascinating (and very haunted) history. We appreciate you joining us and hope to have you back to experience the San Carlos and a few of our spooky stops next time!
Not worth the money. Been on many ghost tours and this was the worst we were in. Nothing against the tour guide just for the price expected more.
Hi Trevor, thank you so much for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear the tour didn’t meet your expectations — we always want our guests to have a great time exploring Phoenix’s haunted history. If you’d like to share more about what you were hoping for, we’d love to use that insight to keep improving.
Awesome, lots of walking of course. Informative and fun but not spooky at all. The guides were very nice.
Thank you so much for leaving a review! We are so happy you enoyed the tour and guides leading the way! We hope to see you again soon!
Our guides were very experienced and knowledgeable. We learned about history of Phoenix beside hunting ghosts.
Thank you so much for leaving a review! We are so happy you enjoyed the history and the ghost hunting! We hope to see you again on one of our new, upcoming tours!
We had a great time! It was our anniversary and also we had our friends join us. We thought the history was cool and the church was our favorite. Erika was a great host. I believe Valentina was the co-host and she was great as well. Overall fun time!
