Great tour guide, bad organization and communication.
The tour guide, Sky, was a passionate about haunting and storytelling and my family enjoyed the experience. Our experience finding the meeting place was terrible, the given location wasn’t correct and the person on the help chat was less then helpful, saying I was an hour late to the tour claiming it started an hour ago and she could not reach the tour guide and if I left I would be a now show. It was all very frustrating. But I can’t stress enough, Sky the tour guide made the experience worth while.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re very glad to hear that Sky’s passion for Denver’s haunted history and storytelling helped make the experience enjoyable for your family. At the same time, we understand how frustrating it must have been to encounter confusion regarding the meeting location and communication before the tour. Clear and accurate information is important, and we appreciate you bringing this experience to our attention. We’ll be sure to share your feedback with our team for review. Most importantly, we’re happy that Sky was able to turn things around and provide your family with an experience you ultimately enjoyed. Thank you for joining us!

Historic night!
Alex was incredibly likable and knowledgeable about the history around cap hill! He kept the tour entertaining, amusing, and enlightening. It was definitely a good balance between spooky and humorous, and I learned a lot about cap hill that I would’ve never known. Will most definitely be coming back!

Ghosts in our own backyards!!
We live in Cap Hill, but had no clue about all the cool (spooky) history around us! Highly recommend this tour, even if you are a local. Our tour guide Alex was awesome - 10/10 night!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ghosts of Denver Family Friendly Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Denver.
How much does Ghosts of Denver Family Friendly Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Denver usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ghosts of Denver Family Friendly Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Denver is not rushed.
Is Ghosts of Denver Family Friendly Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Denver, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ghosts of Denver Family Friendly Walking 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 Ghosts of Denver Family Friendly Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ghosts of Denver Family Friendly Walking Tour?
+
Around 12 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 Denver 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 Denver and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ghosts of Denver Family Friendly Walking 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 Denver 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 Denver?
+
Denver is a launch pad. Rocky Mountain National Park, Pikes Peak, Red Rocks and the Georgetown rail loop all run as day trips, and altitude makes the timing of your first hike matter. In town: brewery crawls, Union Station food walks and Red Rocks show nights. We rank mountain operators on van size, pace and whether they build in altitude acclimatisation. On Outty we rank every Denver experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Twilight Ghost Tour, 2 Hour LoDo Historic Walking Tour in Denver, Downtown Denver Food Tour. 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 Denver?
+
June to September for open mountain passes, or December to March for ski shuttles. 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 Denver?
+
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.
What is included in Ghosts of Denver Family Friendly Walking Tour?
+
Included: A historically accurate ghost tour. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Ghosts of Denver Family Friendly Walking Tour?
+
When you arrive, you'll see your Tour Ambassador waiting for you at the Archway Entrance, which is right across from the Library and Art Museum. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Ghosts of Denver Family Friendly Walking Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ghosts of Denver Family Friendly Walking Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Ghosts of Denver Family Friendly Walking Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+

What happens to Ghosts of Denver Family Friendly Walking Tour if the weather is bad?
+
