Positive: Value Tour was excellent. Could have listened to Steve talk for another hour. Definitely recommend.
Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value This tour was a lot of fun! Steve was our guide and he did such an amazing job telling the stories of Salida’s past. I’m a bit of a skeptic when it comes to ghosts, but this tour had me feeling like they just might exist by the end of it! Highly recommend!
Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Value Very interesting for those who love to learn historical details about places...me. The ghost info is “more of the same” for me since I already read about such activity frequently. One person in the group saw something and was visibly shaken when talking about it, so, an eye-opener for some, I’m sure. The guide, Steve, really knows his stuff. Walking these places on the after dark tour makes it extra special.

Great tour. It was both fun and informative
The tour was fun yet informative. Over the years because I've had my own experiences w ghosts or what I call energies- in a room/building - I appreciated the events Steve shared and accept as probable that the events happened! The tour was a great way to also see the lay out of downtown Salida.
