The Ghost and Murder tour was such a fun addition to our bachelorette party weekend! Steve was the best tour guide we could have asked for. He had great stories and added the right amount of humor for our group. Highly recommend this tour!

We like to go on ghost tours every time we travel, so I've been on a dozen or so; this one was definitely one of the best, if not THE best, that I've been on! Steve was funny, personable and a great storyteller. There was a good mix of historical stories about the dark history of the places visited and what ghostly activity people have experienced in recent years at those locations. Definitely worth it if you are visiting Salida or the surrounding areas!

Crazy we just got back from our tour with Steve. While waiting on the bridge chit chatting with Steve, I took a few pictures of the river. On the tour Steve told us about green orbs that followed him. We haven't had any orbs in any other pictures we took here. We also took pictures of the other side of the bridge that Steve wasn't at and there were no orbs. This tour is full of details and awesome facts!

Steve brings Salida history to life with deep knowledge of the town's history, adept story telling, and a connection to and care for the community. We are in Salida for several weeks, and the details my wife and I learned on the tour bring added layers of meaning and understanding to the history of the area and to the sights around town.

We Thoroughly enjoyed the Salida Ghost & Murder tour. Our guide Steve was so knowledgeable about the dark history of the town, he cracked a few jokes along the way to lessen the tension too. Every building seemed to have a history to it. At the end of the tour we were glad to get out of town Ha Ha. If staying in Salida we 100% recommend this walking tour & Steve was a great guide too.
