Went on the Cheesman Park Ghost Tour last night with Will. Loved it. 10/10. Amazing. 2 hours of spooky stories, encroaching fog, and spirits (?).
After hearing so many great things about the Cheesman Park ghost tour, I finally decided to try it—and it did not disappoint!

Adriana was a fantastic tour guide through Cheesman park! She has great stories and very informative information to share about the haunted past of the park and surrounding neighborhood! We very much enjoyed!
Adrianna was fantastic! We had so much fun on our tour. I would definitely be recommending this to my family and friends.
We did the Cheesman ghost tour with Adrianna and it was incredible. She did such a phenomenal job and we had some much fun. I can’t wait to tell others about it. The props, effects, etc were such classy add-ons and it really was a wonderful time.
We did the Cheesman Park Ghost Tour. It was an enjoyable walk around the park with fabulous stories and accounts of history. Will was our friendly and knowledgeable guide. We all found the tour worthwhile. My only criticism is that sometimes Will was a bit hard to understand as he often spoke quite rapidly and did not fully enunciate his words.

Denver is a pretty cool city.

Thank you for the review. I apologize if I spoke a bit too fast at sometimes. I was trying to keep the tour moving while answering everyone’s questions and keep the tour on time. When people have lots of questions the tour tends to run longer and people have places to be. As it was the tour was over 45 minutes longer so that I could answer any questions you folks had.
Will was really great! Definitely recommend if you love walking, history and of course laughing!
So far, no good. Tried to book a walking tour for the next morning, it would not give me a time. I wanted money for me before I knew what time the tour was. Some of us have schedules and other obligations. I went inside to the walk-up desk late afternoon the day before the walk I wanted to take, and it had been overtaken by another vendor. Although friendly, the customer service representative there had no idea what time somebody would open up shop the next morning so I could walk over from my hotel and ask what time the walks were. So, other than a bad website experience and other than a bad in person customer experience, I guess it’s great. Lol. UPDATE AFTER OWNERS REPLY: I double checked what I did. I again went to the link on Google Maps for this business, one of the options is the two hour walking tour. I tried to book it, and it went exactly as I indicated in my review. Perhaps the Google maps link and the information contains is out of date. See photo
Hi Rob, I don’t think you are making a review about whatever company you think you’re reviewing. My website doesnt make you pay before you can see when the time of a tour will be, it shows you right there before you book on the calendar. I don’t have a walk up desk or a physical location. If anything you are talking about “Visit Denver" inside Union Station. Since they are not me or my company and there are multiple walking tour companies, there’s no way I can help you because you never reached out to me. The OTHER company you spoke to has NOTHING to do with Visit Denver, they are two completely seperate, unrelated companies. Why would one company know all the information about a completely seperate company and or be responsible for answering questions about or for them? So I am not even sure why you wrote this review about a company that you clearly are completely confused about. EDIT: I see that you added a picture. That’s an ai website and is not my website. Those are also the incorrect prices. Even on their website you don’t need to pay to see if a tour is available or the time. Dates that a tour isn't available are greyed out. If you want to visit my website its in the Google results where it says "Directions" and there are more boxes next to it. If you scroll over you'll find "Website". I have ZERO control of what Google posts or how to book because they should have a book now button.
Mark was fantastic! Highly recommend for all tourists!
