It was an amazing experience! Mike was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions easily. The stories were extremely interesting, giving us a different view of Dallas that we would never have been able to obtain on our own. We learned a lot about the history of the city. Highly recommend

Itinerary

This spooky, after-dark experience begins at the Ferris Plaza meeting place, conveniently located in the heart of Dallas. After meeting your guide—who comes prepared with a microphone, so you can be sure to hear every word—set off on foot.

Your first stop is a hotel where numerous deaths have occurred, including that of a famous Congressman. Next, head to the Dallas County Courthouse, considered a haunted hotspot. As you go, you’ll have the special chance to see a new side of Dallas, all while learning insider, lesser-known stories about the goriest and scariest parts of its history.

The frights continue when you stop at one of the city’s most-visited landmarks: Dealey Plaza, the site of President John F. Kenney’s grisly assassination. On this night tour, you’ll get to see it without the crowds, and will feel the full effect of its dark past.

Next, visit several other notably creepy Dallas locations, all while your guide brings their stories to life. The tour ends back at your departure point.

Mike was super...

Aurora_S, Mar 2026
Mike was super enthusiastic tour guide! The sites weren’t that spooky, it was more about this history of places and historical murders. This short(ish) tour required some walking, a lot of standing, and was right next to the street. If you are hard of hearing, this may not suit you.

Neat Activity!

Nothing ghost like at all. Great history of Dallas, but def not what we expected. Carolyn was very educated on the history and it was interesting, but nothing that we expected. Should not be called a Ghost walk

Thank you for your review. We’re glad Carolyn provided an interesting historical experience, and we’ll pass along your compliments. We understand your disappointment regarding the lack of ghost content and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Hope to see you again.

Not a ghost tour

Joshua_H, Jul 2025
I had Mike as a tour guide. Overall, the inaccuracy in statements made, the lack of true ghost stories and more murder stories, the pick up location being in a very sketchy area, and the guessing games from the host made us feel like it was a waste of time and money. I feel this could be a great area for a tour, but the host and script made it miss the mark.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for your honest feedback, and we sincerely apologize that your experience didn’t meet expectations. We understand your concerns regarding the accuracy of information, the tone of the stories, and the overall structure of the tour. Your input is important and will be reviewed closely to help improve future guest experiences. Please feel free to reach out to us at guestrelations@tourismo.com with the name your booking was under—we’d be happy to look into this further and assist you directly. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

an evening walk in Dallas

Tristan_J, Jul 2025
Francisco did the well detailed job on explaining the various sites (and suspected ghost encounters) we stopped at these historical landmarks. If you’re in Dallas and have nothing much to do, I’d recommend this.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thanks so much for the recommendation! We’re happy Francisco made the tour memorable for you with his deep knowledge and storytelling. We’ll be sure to let him know you enjoyed the stops and spooky encounters. Hope you’ll tour with us again soon!

Don't Be Scared to Book This Tour

Alexandra_R, Jul 2025
Fun experience with lots of details and information provided about the ghosts and sites. It's great hearing about the city from a local. Definitely worth adding on the extra stops.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thanks for the kind words! We're thrilled you had a great experience and found the extended stops worthwhile. Exploring a city through its ghost stories gives a whole new appreciation for the past. Hope you’ll come walk with us again soon!

Jesse the best tour guide/storyteller ever

Jessica_M, Jul 2025
Duration - 1 hour (walking) and if you get the extended time it’s about 2 hours. Stories were interesting and I LOVED how enthusiastic Jesse was! He Showed us photos of paranormal experiences while Paris narrated the story portion, and all and all, it was great. This was such a fun way of getting to know downtown a little better! Booked on a whim with a friend, and we both enjoyed it. We did have a huge crowd for that night, so definitely try go get close to the tour guides to hear the full scoop. I would suggest Jesse use the wrap around microphone to amplify his voice, but again, still so much fun! Also, I’m not from Dallas, and I’m a horrible GPS navigator, so when they say free parking near the plaza - it means the JFK plaza!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

We’re so happy you and your friend enjoyed the tour—even on a whim! Jesse’s enthusiasm is contagious and Paris’s narration adds that perfect touch—we’ll definitely share your compliments with them. Thanks also for the helpful feedback about group size and audio; we’re always looking to improve the experience. And yes, for future reference, free parking is at JFK Plaza! We'd love to have you join us again on your next visit to Dallas.

Fun Tour for Visitors

LED_P, Jul 2025
The tour was interesting. While it was billed a ghost tour, it managed to fit in JFK assassination information. As we selected the ghost tour, not the JFK assassination tour, we were thinking JFK info will 'be a moment' because of where we were located ( near Big Red) but alas, the tour ended with JFK assassination conspiracy theory, the X spots on Dealey...etc... What was shared before was interesting. Our tour guide did a great job managing the vehicle noise and kept things rolling. Would we recommend this tour? We'd suggest to add the additional 30 minutes of macabre stories for $7.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for joining us and for leaving such helpful feedback! We're glad you found the guide engaging and up to the challenge of the city noise. We also appreciate your candid comments on the JFK content—while we include it due to the tour’s location, we understand how it may have felt like a shift from the ghostly tone you expected. Great call on the $7 extended stories—definitely a fan favorite. Hope you’ll give us another go next time you’re in town!

Stories were great. Jesse...
