I had a great time on this tour with Jake and the other guests! I only had one day to explore Dallas, and this tour hit the spot. I love hearing about spooky local history in cities that I visit. Also, as a solo traveller, this is a great way to meet fun people to spend the evening with.

Boozing around Dallas

Great walking tour to get your bearings around Dallas. Learning about legends and history is a great way to enjoy a night. Mika was wonderful and fun, highly recommend

Best tour I’ve ever been

Elena_G, Nov 2025
It was our first time and it was great! Thanks Jack for his creepy stories and a tour. We learned more about our city

On the fence

Karen_K, Oct 2025
We took clients and it was not a bad experience at all; just kind of too long and too much talking with really not enough of ghost experience outside of stories told. The guide did an amazing job though!

Guide was fun, tour was okay

Ashley_V, Oct 2025
Our guide was charming, welcoming, & funny. We laughed a lot and heard interesting stories! Giving only three stars because the reasons listed below. The tour started super late. We were told to arrive at 6:50 and didn’t even leave the first location until 7:50. While the ghost stories were spooky, the historical side of them was incorrect; the Joule was pronounced “Joel,” the history of several buildings was made up (we’re all from Dallas and some of us worked in these buildings and knew the correct history), the stories of actual murders we’re wildly incorrect. We get it that we were trying to be spooked but suggest trying to stay closer to the facts - especially with a large group of locals. Thirty minutes of research would’ve made the tour much more interesting and ghostly.

We had so much fun.

Noelia_A, Oct 2025
Very informative information and our host made it very fun and interesting.people were very friendly

Marisa_K, Sep 2025
So much fun! We did this on a whim and had a blast! Tumbleweed T was a great host and we got to learn a lot of interesting history and spooky stories!

Michael brought the entertainment!

Jennifer_T, Aug 2025
Our tour guide was Michael and he was AMAZING!!! He was incredibly knowledgable about ghosts AND history. He was very entertaining and kept us engaged the entire time. I only wish it was longer!!! By the end I was getting so wrapped up in the stories Michael was telling I just wanted more. I would recommend this tour to everyone, ghost hunter or not! My boyfriend was with me and he isn’t really into the ghost stories but he still had a blast. The bars they had us stop at were really enjoyable and very unique. Loved all the architecture as well.

Myka was a wonderful tour...

Amelia_L, Aug 2025
Myka was a wonderful tour guide!! This haunted tour of Dallas was one of my favorite things I did while visiting. If you like ghosts and haunting stories, this tour in Dallas is awesome!!

Unexpected Emergency Met with Cold Response

sophia_s, Jul 2025
I was really looking forward to this ghost tour. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected and severe anxiety episode the day of the tour (I am traveling alone across the country for the first time), I wasn’t able to attend. I understand and respect the 24-hour cancellation policy, but I reached out to explain my situation, hoping for at least a gesture of understanding or flexibility given the circumstances. Instead, I received a curt response stating simply that there are no refunds and that they would let the guide know I wasn’t coming. No acknowledgment of my situation, no offer of a credit or reschedule — just a flat “no.” I wasn’t asking for special treatment, just a little empathy. Mental health challenges can be unpredictable, and I think businesses, especially those in hospitality and tourism, should be able to show at least a basic level of kindness when something like this comes up. I hope in the future they consider treating these rare situations with a bit more care. Just thought you should know the type of business you are supporting before giving them your money.

Tour Not as Advertised

Jina_C, Jun 2025
Our tour guide (Trey) was very nice, but the tour was not at advertised. We met at Harwood Tavern as expected and stopped to talk about surrounding hotels at Main Street Garden. That is where we strayed from the advertised description. Most of the discussion from this point on centered around paranormal activity in general and not any history of downtown Dallas or reported ghosts in the vicinity. We spent a lot of time talking about things that happened near UNT in Denton and not in downtown Dallas. Our guide showed us his personal videos of suspected paranormal activity, but there was no connection to the history of downtown Dallas. He also invited other tour participants to share their stories of paranormal experiences. We did not take the tour to hear other participants speak. We stopped at a pub that was not listed and did not seem to have any history of ghosts. Our group of seven left the tour about 15 minutes early, but had not yet seen the Giant eyeball, discussed the Pegasus, or passed the Majestic Theater. We were excited to end at the Adolphus and the Rodeo Bar knowing that there is a history of ghosts there, but our guide acted like he wasn't sure we were going to make it there. From the advertisement, we anticipated hearing some history of the downtown area and about ghosts at various Dallas landmarks as well as actually seeing those sites. As stated, Trey was very nice. There were 11 people total in our tour, but we had a difficult time hearing him even when he used his microphone. We were not sure if he just went rogue on the tour or if he had not been properly trained as to the content of the tour. This tour would be best for people wishing to speak to others and share paranormal experiences rather than explore historical sites with a history of reported ghosts. Nine of the eleven people on the tour left early.

Had a great time! Myka...

Cat_A, May 2025
Had a great time! Myka was a great guide and very attentive! The routes are pretty accessible, and so are most of the stops.

Gotta do it!

sherylelliss, May 2025
Michael, our tour guide, was awesome! His personality, sense of humor and knowledge, added to making this already fun tour great!!

Average

Simona_Z, Mar 2025
It’s average. The “booze” isn’t really tied into the experience. So the drinking feels like a disjointed experience. All can be put together much better. The story telling is fine. Would give it a “B”… we’ve been on several ghost tours which have been more “haunting” … not a bad experience but nothing I would rave about either. Frankly, we left early cuz we got bored.

Great tour

Jeremy_S, Mar 2025
The tour was great. Taylor was an excellent guide. We had a wonderful night with the stories and tavern stops.

Something a little...

Anastasia_S, Mar 2025
Something a little different from the normal ghost walks with stops inside some bars was fun. Would go again.

Pass

Jessica_m, Feb 2025
The tour was not vibing. Guide(s) didn’t finish a single ghost story the entire night. The guide had been doing this for a year + but couldn’t tell us the dates of any of the events that were mentioned on the “tour”. The bar hopping was super random. It wasn’t worth the time or money.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Hi Jessica, we are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your tour. We would appreciate it if you would reach out directly so we can get a little more information so that we can use this feedback constructively. You can email us at info@nightlyspirits.com.

Get ready for a great time!

Linda_N, Feb 2025
This ghost tour was informative and fun. There are 4 stops and they're all fairly close together. I like how we had enough time at each bar to rest and talk. It didn't feel too rushed. The ghost stories Taylor told us were jaw dropping. She's a wonderful tour guide and storyteller. She also encouraged us to share our own ghost stories.

Tayler was a phenomenal...

erik_p, Feb 2025
Tayler was a phenomenal guide. Would definitely recommend her to others. It's a must do. My wife and I loved the tour.

Bar tour

Susan_H, Nov 2024
Taylor made the tour interesting and enjoyable. The tour gave us a new insight to downtown Dallas and now want to learn more.

Worth the cost

Lu_E, Nov 2024
Jake, our guide, was great, knowledgeable and personable. The walk wasn’t too far and it was flat. Great stories and great iconic sites to see at night in Dallas.

Good times

Ace_S, Nov 2024
Some stories , some history , and some good drinks. Also get to see some of the sculptures around when you walk and the walking is not to far from bar to bar. Was nice casual vibe.

Fun

Jennifer_J, Oct 2024
Myka was a great host! Fun time! She was very informative. Fun night meeting new people. Would do it again.

Get ready to learn.

Patrick_D, Oct 2024
Jake did a great job keeping the group engaged and was very knowledgeable about the history! Would highly recommend this tour.

Waste of time for us

Kristen_N, Oct 2024
While I loved our tour operator, this was boring. The stories were not great. We do ghost tours everywhere we travel and even the history was not good. I left with little knowledge about anything except some people in the bars may have had interactions with spirits. I feel like we spent most the time waiting and walking. Kind of felt like a waste of time… we both wanted to leave 1/3 of the way in.

Ghosts at the Bachelorette Party
