Additional Information
Before the famed Route 66 carved through the heart of Flagstaff, the Southside thrummed as a notorious Red Light District—a hive of outlaws, gamblers, and spectral secrets.

This tour invites you to traverse the eerie echoes of a bygone era alongside the lively spirit that now defines the Southside. Delve into chilling tales at landmarks like Hick’s Boarding House and the Historic Brewing Barrel House, where history and modernity intertwine. Uncover the full, haunting story of Dutch May—a revered madame whose life met a shadowy end. This narrative is exclusive to our journey, providing a rare glimpse into a figure shrouded in both prosperity and mystery. Embark on a journey where history meets mystery—book today and peel back the layers of Flagstaff’s rich and vibrant past.

Fascinating history of Flagstaff - I've lived in Flagstaff for 25 years but never really understood the history. Freaky Foot Tours is ending that! I particularly enjoyed learning about the bordellos, and the goings on of the folks who "opposed" them.

Southside surprised me. - I've lived in Flagstaff for 6 years and I'd heard about the ghosts who roam this beautiful town but most stories involved the historical hotels downtown NOrth of the tracks; I was pleasantly surprised to hear stories Not involving hotels AND South of the tracks. I'll never look at Southside the same.

Spooky Southside Stroll - This Southside tour is a great addition to the Freaky family. A longtime Flagstaff resident, I learned so many news things about the rough and tumble south-of-the tracks neighborhood! And, the research continues!

So fun! - This was such a great experience! James was such a wonderful host and explained all kinds of cool pieces of history and information about various paintings and lives and buildings around the Southside of downtown Flagstaff. I've lived here for almost 20 years and learned so much! Definitely gave me a whole new appreciation for the already massively loved little town I live in 💜 Thank you so much for such a great time! I can't wait to take some of my visiting friends on a tour next time they come into town!

Loved the spooky southside tour! - I loved learning the stories of the frontier style southside of Flagstaff. I got to imagine a neighborhood that I’ve lived in for 10 years as the thriving old west town from the history books. The guides are well versed in flagstaff lore and have a knack for storytelling. I highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of the dark and spooky.
