GoogleGooglePositive: Value Tour was excellent. Could have listened to Steve talk for another hour. Definitely recommend.
GooglePositive: 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!
GooglePositive: 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.
