Fantastic ghost stories! - This was a fantastic walking tour through downtown Traverse City. Des, the ghost tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. She narrated the cities ghost stories at multiple stops along the tour. You could tell that she did her research into the history and continues to do so. It was a great evening of walking through downtown.

A Fun and Informative Tour - Our guide gave us a great history of Traverse City and recounted the experiences she and other people had inside and outside the city’s historical buildings. We had a good time laughing with our guide, walking through the city, and learning about common ghost hunting equipment and how to NOT disturb spirits in their resting places.

Dez is the best - Dez was an amazing tour guide. Me and my wife went on the last tour of the year. By far the best ghost tour we have been on. She is very rich in the history and knowledge of Traverse city. The stories of the towns people and her experiences are something everyone should hear. We will do another one of Dez's ghost tours again and are looking forward to it.

Check it out! - There's no better way to experience a town than to get to know its history and hauntings! Des provided both! Her knowledge of both the area and her experience, both personal and professional with the paranormal, showed as brighter as the lantern! I'll never look at downtown Traverse City the same way!

Exceptional Tour - Des was an outstanding tour guide! She skillfully shared captivating ghost stories from the Traverse City area, seamlessly weaving in historical context to enrich the experience. The highlight for me was the opportunity to use ghost equipment at the tour's conclusion, adding an exciting twist to the adventure. Overall, it was an exceptional tour!

Spooky History, oh my! - What a great experience getting to know the history of the town that also includes some spooky stories. Des was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the area.
Not into ghost stories? That's ok, the walking tour is full of Traverse City history. As a history buff that enjoys a ghost story or two, this was a perfect way to finish an evening. Just make sure to wear comfortable shoes.

So-So Ghost Stories - I thought the lantern tour was mediocre…You journey through downtown TC just to stop in front of different “haunted” spots and hear lame ghost stories (with wayyy to many people to keep track of lol)! It was fun to be outside on a nice night, but I wasn’t impressed…I think if we could of gotten to go into some of the haunted locations it would have been 100% more impressive…I would skip and go check out the haunted asylum tour in TC instead… you actually get to tour the haunted asylum!
