Fascinating history! Hondo really knows his stuff. The tour consisted of a small group of people, which was nice because it was easier to talk casually at each stop. The drinks were delicious. The views of the mountains and architecture were stunning.

I had a fantastic time on...
I had a fantastic time on the Golden, Colorado pub crawl/ghost tour! Our tour leader was an absolute blast—funny, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He genuinely loves his city, and that passion came through in every story he told. He made a point to get to know everyone in the group, which made the experience feel personal and welcoming.
The historical perspective was especially memorable—informative without ever being dull—and the ghost stories added just the right amount of intrigue. I also loved visiting bars I never would have discovered on my own, each with its own unique character and history.
Overall, this tour was entertaining, informative, and thoughtfully run. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Golden or even locals looking to see the city from a new perspective. An absolute highlight of the trip!

Great Golden Ghost Tour!
The best ghost tour I have ever been on! Chris was fun, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable! I learned a ton, had some laughs, felt some chills, and enjoyed a few beers along the way. For anyone that visits the Denver area and likes the spooky vibes, this tour is an ABSOLUTE MUST!

Great guide and ghost stories!
This was the best ghost tour my friends and I have been on! Chris is super knowledgeable about the history of Golden and all of its dark secrets. He’s a great guide who spent time with us after the tour as well to recommend local spots while we were visiting!

Great fun and informative!
Hondo was really fun! I learned so much about the history of Golden and Colorado. Doing this tour at night gave it all a nice spookiness! We will do this tour again with other friends and family!

Great storytelling and history!
I’ve lived in the area for 25 years but Hondo had great stories and history I’d never heard before. What a great evening!

Great pubs and stories.
Great, walkable tour. Host was knowledgeable and had fun stories to tell. Pubs chosen were historic and cozy. A little more time needed at the second pub (5 min) was needed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My experience with Golden History Tours was absolutely fantastic, thanks especially to our guide Hondo.
From start to finish, the tour was engaging, fun, and full of surprises.
Hondo has a natural storytelling gift. He wove colorful details about Golden’s past, outlaws, pioneers, and local legends in a way that felt alive and immediate. He was friendly, accessible, and clearly passionate about the subject. He answered all our questions, made jokes, and even paused so we could take in the sights.
The route itself was well paced, never rushed but never dragging. We uncovered hidden corners of Golden I never would have found on my own. The mix of history, humor, and local flavor was perfect.
If you’re in Golden and looking for a walking tour that’s more than just facts, one that feels like you’ve stepped into history, go with Golden History Tours and ask for Hondo. He made the whole thing memorable.
Highly recommend!

Not worth your time or money
Disappointing. The tour was light on ghost stories and heavy on complicated & difficult to follow narratives of early criminals. Several stories were gory but not particularly scary or interesting. Wouldn’t recommend.

I'm really sorry to hear this but I appreciate the honest feedback. This is definitely not the way these tours are supposed to be led or the way the stories are supposed to be told. The stories should be entertaining and engaging as well as historical. I'm really sorry the guide went off script and you had such a bad experience. I can't access any information about you reservation from the review, but if you'll reach out to me I'd love to make it up to you.
