Spooky and SO Interesting! - What an amazing tour! We learned so much history about Aspen, and the ghost stories were great. Dean is an excellent storyteller, and I found that the time flew by. He was mindful of safety as we crossed the street (it was dark) and engaged us in conversation as we walked. This was a great way to explore Aspen's downtown with a very knowledgeable local and learn more about the history of the town.

Every city has a few ghosts, but how do you know if you don’t have somebody tell you their stories?! - Great fun! Spooky history from the origin of Aspen to now. The guide made it fun and easy to see the city while learning about the history of Aspen’s ghosts

Aspen is a city rich in history. - Our guide was very informative, friendly, and accommodating. We enjoyed learning about the gold rush, the historical buildings that are still a part of Aspen today, and the people who settled there and developed this city through the years.
