Very informative and... - Very informative and guide was very respectful and friendly. Was thinking there would be more stories of hauntings; most of the stories were more of historical events in Tucson. Even so it was very enjoyable.

Unfortunate third party miscommunication - We had a bit of a hiccup with this experience as we were sent an incorrect address by a THIRD PARTY as to where to meet our guide and by the time we got it all figured out as to where we were supposed to be, it was too late for our tour. We were very disappointed because we were aware that we missed out on an AMAZING experience. I want to be clear that the guide we were assigned to did everything he could to help us that night and even worked to get me a refund since we didn’t get to enjoy the show. This is why I’m submitting a 5-star review as our guide demonstrated that their company cares very much about their customers and works hard to deliver a great experience! I also want to make it clear that it was a third party who sent us the wrong address, not the Ghost Tours company itself. You meet at the Hotel Congress in Tucson, NOT IN FRONT OF THE PIMA COUNTY COURTHOUSE like we were told. Next time we go to Tucson, we’re booking this again and we’ll be much more careful to book it on the Ghost Tours website so that we get more reliable information.

Wear comfortable shoes.... - Wear comfortable shoes. The tour was great. Didn’t realize Tucson had such interesting old hotels where deaths occurred. Our guide Monk was a great story teller. Really enjoyed the experience. Plan to take it again this summer with another group of family members.

Fun and Interesting Tour - I was in Tucson for a conference, so I didn't have a lot of time to explore the city. I enjoy walking tours, so this one was perfect for me. My guide Monk was excellent. He is a great storyteller and knowledgeable about Tucson's history.

Monk is tops in Tucson downtown haunted history - Monk is an interesting and eccentric character leading the tour but he does an excellent job. Puts his heart and energy into the job and knows the history quite well. He also resists the tendency (but not too much) of some guides that make stuff up in their storytelling. The tour is entertaining and informative and well structured. If a ghost tour of Tucson downtown is in your plans. This one is a good choice.

Best Ghost Tour EVER! - We had the pleasure of the Ghost Tour in Tucson, lead by Monk. We met at 6:30pm and Monk told us about the ‘goings on’ in Tucson, around the city center. The tour was fun, enjoyable and highly recommended.
If you are in Tucson and want a walking tour, this shouldn’t be missed. I can 100% recommend this, as one of the best tours we have done in a city.
Keep up the amazing work!

5* Exactly what we expected; Ghost and history tour of Tucson - Such a brilliant tour with Monk! Informative, funny and fascinating; a great mix of the city’s history and of spirits who still reside there. Monk was quick to answer questions, held back during noisy drive-by’s and really looked the part of a street entertainer for our tour. He also gave some great suggestions for the area. Whilst we didn’t enter any buildings, there was no need to - so much information right outside the doors.
Well worth the $.
The only helpful advice I could suggest, is a photo of the meeting point; whilst we followed the directions, we were in an unfamiliar city and we were disoriented. Fortunately Monk phoned us and directed us to the meeting point (*the back of The Congress hotel)

Fun evening in downtown Tucson! - What a fun evening! Our whole family enjoyed this 90 minute tour through downtown Tucson. The walk included stops at iconic landmarks with a mixture of engaging ghost stories and interesting historical details about the sites and Tucson. Monk (our guide) has a wealth of knowledge and he easily expanded on questions that we asked.
A very entertaining evening.
