Same award-winning storytelling. Different energy. Mountain Town of Madness is our adults-only evening. A darker vibe, an extra true crime story, and guides who don't have to keep it PG-13. Locally owned, originally researched, and still the only ghost tour in Flagstaff run by the people who wrote the books. 18+ only. 2,000+ verified reviews. Voted Best of Flagstaff 2023, 2024, and 2025. There’s a reason people keep coming back and a reason certain guests say the ghosts followed them home. Mountain Town of Madness is our adults-only ghost tour & it's built for people who want a different kind of night out. Same downtown route, same original research from co-founder and local author Susan Johnson, but with guides who have the freedom to lean into the darker details and the gallows humor. Then there's the story we save for this tour: a 1980s murder trial that took a turn nobody in that courtroom expected. We'll let your guide handle that one.

Steve was easy to listen to and very informative.

BOOK THE TOUR
Steve was such a fun guide!!! He had so much knowledge on the history of the town! We learned about some really cool legends that have been around since the late 1800’s and are still alive and well today. I was surprised that so many people knew Steve and could back up a lot of his stories. One guy even said “he’s not lying” in passing and just kept walking. Steve is a cool dude and the guy knows his stuff. Highly recommend.

Wheelchair accessible and great story telling to get started exploring haunted Flagstaff
The tour was a great opportunity to learn more about the places in Flagstaff said to be haunted! The stories were engaging and will really help explore the area with more detailed lore than you could get online. If you want to check out the "haunted hotels" it really gives you a lot of info for what -who- to look for and where! It was a fun lil adventure. I also have chronic pain and was happy to see it would have been wheelchair accessible! Walking was a good pace and not too far and standing is about 15min intervals. This was a fun tour anyone can enjoy!

Great tour, Fantastic Guide!
What a great experience!! Even though I lived in Flagstaff for years and worked at several of the places we visited, Revel’s storytelling was incredibly interesting and compelling. I have been on several tours in many cities and this one was hands down the best. I would highly recommend.

Flagstaff Adults-Only Ghost Tour: Mountain Town of Madness: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Flagstaff.
How much does Flagstaff Adults-Only Ghost Tour: Mountain Town of Madness cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 Flagstaff Adults-Only Ghost Tour: Mountain Town of Madness 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 Flagstaff is not rushed.
Is Flagstaff Adults-Only Ghost Tour: Mountain Town of Madness worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 37 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 Flagstaff Adults-Only Ghost Tour: Mountain Town of Madness?
+
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 Flagstaff Adults-Only Ghost Tour: Mountain Town of Madness 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 Flagstaff Adults-Only Ghost Tour: Mountain Town of Madness?
+
Around 13 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Flagstaff Adults-Only Ghost Tour: Mountain Town of Madness 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, Grand Canyon Tour from Flagstaff, Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend Day 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.
