About this experience
Flagstaff’s original ghost tour since 2015. 1,000+ five-star reviews. Voted Best of Flagstaff 23, 24, 25. There’s a reason people keep coming back & a reason certain guests say ghosts followed them home. You’ll hear about the phantom bellboy at the Monte Vista Hotel, how John Weatherford came to Flagstaff to build his fortune, and the dark history of Wheeler Park that most Flagstaff residents don’t know. And then there’s the Marie Walkup case. We won’t spoil it here, but it’s the story that made Susan write a whole book. You'll also learn why Flagstaff's historic steam tunnels were sealed shut, and why no one's been truly underground since. We’re locally owned and operated by the people who wrote the books on this town’s dark side. Co-founder Susan Johnson is the author of Wicked Flagstaff, Haunted Flagstaff, and The Walkup Family Murders. Your attendance is gravely appreciated.

Flagstaff Ghost Tour
Our tour guide was excellent! He made the stories quite interesting and lively! Great communicator! He showed us a side of Flagstaff we had never seen/experienced before this tour. Next time we’re here, we’ll certainly visit and remember the places we visited.

Fun and spooky
We had such a fun and spooky time on our ghost tour last night! Our guide was absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, entertaining, and made the whole experience even more memorable. The stories were fascinating, the atmosphere was creepy in the best way, and we had a great time from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and spooky experience in Flagstaff! I can’t wait to bring other family and friends to do it again!

Great tour - will never look at steam tunnels the same way
I have lived in Phoenix all my life and have been to Flagstaff countless times. I love history and was sure Flagstaff had plenty of it and the tour did not disappoint. Steve was a terrific story teller and had a deep knowledge of the town and the crazy hauntings of the buildings downtown. Regardless of whether you’re a believer in the supernatural, I highly recommend this tour. Who knows, at the end, you might be just a bit less skeptical.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Downtown Flagstaff Haunted History Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Flagstaff.
How much does Downtown Flagstaff Haunted History Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Flagstaff usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Downtown Flagstaff Haunted History Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Flagstaff is not rushed.
Is Downtown Flagstaff Haunted History Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 452 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Flagstaff, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Downtown Flagstaff Haunted History Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Downtown Flagstaff Haunted History Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Downtown Flagstaff Haunted History Tour?
+
Around 158 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Flagstaff can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Flagstaff and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Downtown Flagstaff Haunted History Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Flagstaff within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Flagstaff?
+
Flagstaff sits at 7,000 feet between the Grand Canyon, Sedona and Antelope Canyon: day tours to all three, plus Lowell Observatory stargazing and Route 66 history walks. On Outty we rank every Flagstaff experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Grand Canyon Day Tour from Flagstaff, Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend Day Tour from Flagstaff, Grand Canyon Tour from Flagstaff. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Flagstaff?
+
May to October for canyon trips, December to March for snow at Snowbowl. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Flagstaff?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
