    What's included

    Included

    • Golden Bandana
    • Alcoholic beverages
    • Entrance fees

    Not included

    • This is not a paranormal investigation, so we won't be using ghost hunting equipment.

    What you'll see and do

    1. Golden

      The City of Golden was the seat of the Colorado Gold Rush and at the forefront of the Wild West, and we have our share of spirits still lingering around to prove it. Your tour guide will tell you the stories of these restless souls as you traverse the town at night, starting from historic Goosetown Station. You'll walk into town through the ghostly parks along Clear Creek then up Washington Avenue for a mid-cap. The second half of the tour will take you up 12th Street, Golden's old white-collar district, and ends in the back yard of the Astor House where you can choose one last stop for a night-cap.

    Spooky crawl

    Fascinating history! Hondo really knows his stuff. The tour consisted of a small group of people, which was nice because it was easier to talk casually at each stop. The drinks were delicious. The views of the mountains and architecture were stunning.

    I had a fantastic time on...

    I had a fantastic time on the Golden, Colorado pub crawl/ghost tour! Our tour leader was an absolute blast—funny, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He genuinely loves his city, and that passion came through in every story he told. He made a point to get to know everyone in the group, which made the experience feel personal and welcoming. The historical perspective was especially memorable—informative without ever being dull—and the ghost stories added just the right amount of intrigue. I also loved visiting bars I never would have discovered on my own, each with its own unique character and history. Overall, this tour was entertaining, informative, and thoughtfully run. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Golden or even locals looking to see the city from a new perspective. An absolute highlight of the trip!

    Great Golden Ghost Tour!

    The best ghost tour I have ever been on! Chris was fun, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable! I learned a ton, had some laughs, felt some chills, and enjoyed a few beers along the way. For anyone that visits the Denver area and likes the spooky vibes, this tour is an ABSOLUTE MUST!

    Great guide and ghost stories!

    This was the best ghost tour my friends and I have been on! Chris is super knowledgeable about the history of Golden and all of its dark secrets. He’s a great guide who spent time with us after the tour as well to recommend local spots while we were visiting!

    Golden Ghosts & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Denver.

    How much does Golden Ghosts & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 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 Golden Ghosts & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Golden Ghosts & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Denver, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Golden Ghosts & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl?

    +

    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 Golden Ghosts & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Golden Ghosts & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl?

    +

    Around 14 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Golden Ghosts & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl 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 Golden Ghosts & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl?

    +

    Included: Golden Bandana; Alcoholic beverages; and Entrance fees. Not included: This is not a paranormal investigation, so we won't be using ghost hunting equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Golden Ghosts & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl?

    +

    We'll meet in the living room at Goosetown Station. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Golden Ghosts & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl 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 Golden Ghosts & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl?

    +

    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 Golden Ghosts & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Golden Ghosts & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
