Step into Denver’s past with our Historical Walking Tour of Denver with a haunting twist.

Along the way, we’ll visit notable sites like Molly Brown’s home and explore some of Denver’s most haunted houses, uncovering dark tales that still linger today.

Our guide, who once managed a flower shop at Fairmount Cemetery—built in the old train station—brings a wealth of local history and spooky stories. Having heard firsthand accounts from years of experience, they’ll share juicy details about Denver’s elite, their secrets, and the spirits that are said to still walk these streets.

And because this is a tour with a bit of fun, everyone dresses in period costumes, adding a playful, ghostly touch to the experience. It’s a perfect mix of history, mystery, and a little ghostly mischief that’ll keep you entertained from start to finish.
