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.

Highly recommend for anyone visiting Tucson! - Such a cool experience! This tour brought Tucson’s wild history to life in a way I never expected. The guide was super engaging, and the stories about bandits, pioneers, and even ghostly spirits kept me hooked the whole time. Walking through downtown and imagining the old Santa Rita Hotel or hearing about the Pioneer Hotel tragedy gave me chills. It’s the perfect mix of history, mystery, and fun. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Tucson!
