Enjoyable evening learning about Tucson - Jade was a wonderful guide. She was well spoken and friendly. We did not see any ghosts, but we sure know where to look for them. Next time we walk downtown.

Our guide was very... - Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable! He was able to share with us some history along with the stories. I did not have a lot of time during my visit to Tucson, but was very glad I booked this tour. You do not have to be a believer of ghosts to appreciate this tour, as the storytelling and history of the city can be appreciated by all.

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.

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.
