Enjoyable Evening - Our Tucson Ghost Tour was a fantastic experience tonight. Sully was a wealth of knowledge. What we liked most was that we didn't feel rushed. It was like a walk with an old friend.

Great, would do again! - Sully was an awesome guide. He knows a lot about Tucson, its history, and some of the dastardly deeds. We enjoyed talking with him and enjoyed our stroll through downtown. He also had recommendations for some interesting after-tour drinks & food, like The Boxyard.

Fun, Informative… location unknown. - I would consider the tour more of a historical tour than a ‘ghost’ tour. With that being said it was very informative and we enjoyed it. Our guide, Devon, was very informative and open to any question we shot his way.
Our main issue we had was the address we were given. We could not locate it nor was it the correct address. We walked up and down the road for 20 minutes trying to figure out where we needed to be. Thankfully after I got a text I was able to ask where we were supposed to meet up at.

Eerie night in Tucson - We have been on been on many ghost tours and enjoyed our host Jade. We felt the stories were missing the dramatics we experience with other tours.

I have done a lot of... - I have done a lot of ghost and history tours (London, key west, Baltimore, and more). I was excited to hear about Tucson’s history. Monk seems like a great guy and was very personable. You can feel he has a lot of passion for what he does. However, this tour was lackluster. I’m not sure if it was because there aren’t a lot of stories to tell, but it seemed that he didn’t have a lot of great material to share. I also felt he talked a little too long - my mind started wandering. I really wanted to like this tour but I just wasn’t feeling it and left disappointed.

Not the best ghost/night walking tour I've been on, but still a fun way to spend 90 minutes - I've taken ghost tours in the Washington DC area, Charleston, Seattle, San Francisco, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and San Diego. I enjoy ghost tours not because of the supernatural, but because they tend to cover an area's unique history, quirks, and culture. I went on the Ghosts Of Downtown Tucson Haunted History Tour with tour guide Monk in December 2025. He is a friendly, enthusiastic tour guide. That night, the tour group was comprised of 6-7 very friendly adults, and we were all paying close attention. I believe we were a good, captive audience for the tour. Unfortunately, I don't think Monk had a lot of strong material to work with; there probably is not enough interesting history in the Downtown area to develop a top notch tour. While we learned a little about Downtown Tucson, the stories were not very memorable. I wish the tour included a deeper dive into Tucson's unique history, but in Monk's defense, there may not have been enough unique history to draw from. To be transparent, I prefer a "nerdier" or more academic/adult tour over a melodramatic tour. I talked to a few other tour attendees who felt the same way. I've been on ghost tours that were much more memorable than this one, but nevertheless, I'm glad this tour is offered, and I am glad for the chance to learn a little about the city. At the very least, it's a fun way to walk the city at night with a friendly group.
