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.

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.

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value We had a great ghost tour of downtown Salida! Our guide, Steve, was friendly, engaging, and told great stories. In addition to hearing ghost/murder stories we got to hear about the history of the town and it's buildings, which was fascinating. The tour was a terrific blend of all three and a great way to spend the evening. Thanks, Steve!
