Thank you so much for joining me on our Denver ghost/ history tour. That’s exactly right, you never know what you get in the photos you take. So glad your family could join in my fun tour!👻

Disappointing experience since we never saw our guide to go to this tour.

Mandy_F, Sep 2025
Nothing to recommend since we never found our group to take this tour. We showed up right on the hour and correct place but never found the group. We would like our money back !

Response from Host, Sep 2025

The guide was at the meeting point for 20 minutes before tour time to 15 minutes after the tour was to start. No contact was made with our company or guide by your group. We have to start our tours as other guests are also on the tour. We can grant you a credit for a future tour if you contact us directly. Thank you.

A fun ghost tour

Clayton_M, Sep 2025
Had fun on this ghost tour. The tour guide was knowledgeable about both the history of Denver and local paranormal stories. She even has actual photographs from things caught on previous tours.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for joining me on the Denver ghost/ history tour! It was so nice to meet you and look for ghosts!

Ghost tour with so many extras!

Hope_K, Aug 2025
Sheila is an engaging, informative, and entertaining ghost guide! highly recommend her! Go for the two-hour experience! Sheila is actively learning about new ghostly encounters from the residents of the haunted buildings on her tour, which made my husband and me feel like we were active participants, especially when she showed us ghosts and orbs captured on camera by her clients. She told us about TV shows that featured one of the houses she showed us, which we watched when we got home, continuing the ghostly experience! What a bonus! My husband and I have been on several ghost tours, nationally and internationally, and Sheila is among the best!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

I’m so glad you chose Ghostly Emprise as your Ghost Tour! Thank you for joining me! I absolutely loved having you and your husband join me on my ghost / history tour in Denver, Colorado! I am very passionate about what I do and want everyone who joins me to have a very personal unique experience. 👻

Loved it!!!

Stacy_E, Jun 2025
The tour was amazing and Sheila was so knowledgeable about the history of Denver. The EMF detectors went off quite a bit which added to the stories. It was a great experience!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Stacy, it was so fun having you and your family on the Denver Ghost / History tour! The EMF detectors were definitely capturing a lot of electronic magnetic energy! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour.

Kelley_S, Feb 2025
Very cool area. Amazing architecture. Fun stories. Tori was knowledgeable about Denver history. We got kind of cold and pushed the tour along and so I would like to do it in warmer weather to be able to enjoy the stories more. Really fun and cool area!

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you Kelley for joining our Denver Capitol Hill Ghost History tour. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. We would look forward to hosting you again on another tour. We also give tours in Colorado Sorings and soon to be other locations. Check those out as well.👻

If you can’t choose which ghost tour to book in Denver - book this one!

Sree_M, Nov 2024
Enjoyed the tour very much. Left the tour believing in paranormal activity just a little bit more than I did when I came in. Sheila was an amazing tour guide! She knew everything she was speaking about in lots of detail and kept us engaged the entire time.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you, Sree for joining me on the Denver Ghost History tour. We really saw some interesting paranormal happenings on the tour didn't we? I'm so glad you and your brother joined me and enjoyed your experience!

Non-believer's perspective

Charles_C, Oct 2024
I reviewed this once but here it goes again. The lady that led us was very informative. She knew the history of the structures. The builders, owners, and former residents there of. She provided detailed information on the sightings/hauntings. If you are interested in the tour it's definitely worth the money.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for joining me on the Denver Ghost/ History Tour! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour and learning about the history and haunts.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

I'm so glad you had a great time on the Denver Ghost / History Tour! I have a lot of fun giving the tours and thoroughly enjoy the history and haunts within the mansions!

Great Friday night

Sarah_D, Oct 2024
Sheila gives a great tour and has a lot to share about the houses and surrounding areas, not just those on the planned stops.

Lilly_B, Oct 2024
Sheila was great! She is clearly passionate about the ghosts of Denver. She puts a lot of time researching and connecting with current community members to learn more and share more ghosty stories. We had such a great time!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

I’m so glad you joined me on the Denver ghost / history tour! We do put a lot of time into the research of the tour content and share factual information. It was a pleasure meeting you!

Engaging local tour guide!

Heather_T, Oct 2024
Sheila was just awesome. She was really engaging with our group and made the night so much fun. She is from the Denver area and this is her and her husbands company - great to support a truly local and passionate company.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you Heather for the wonderful review! I’m so glad you enjoyed the Denver ghost / history tour. We appreciate you supporting local business!

Deeply disappointed

Stephanie_S, Oct 2024
The tour guide did not appear. We were reimbursed only a portion of the cost. The tour guide thought we were at 7:00 pm, even though we had changed it to 9:00 pm. Our tickets and email and text reminders all said 9:00 pm. We received only $56 back for two adult tickets that cost more.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Can you clarify how much you paid. Tickets are 28 per person, 56 for two. We also did talk with you and explained the mixup in times (it was actually the booking system, not us). We also told you our guide would come down, may be a little wait but we were more than willing to give the tour but you coose not to accept that. If you did pay more send that to us and we will refund the rest. We always fully refund in the event of an issue

Great tour!

Allison_H, Oct 2024
So glad we did this tour! Learned a lot of history of haunted places in downtown Denver. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

One of the Best Ghost Tours I’ve Been On

Emma_V, Aug 2024
I go on a lot of ghost tours and this is one of the best I’ve been on. The stories were the perfect balance of the historical and the supernatural and the tour guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Patty_L, Aug 2024
It was a lovely trip learning about homes with great guides. It was a dark and stormy night and it added to the ambiance of the tour.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for joining us on our Denver Capitol Hill Ghost History Tour. We are so glad you enjoyed the evening with us.

Great guide, great tour!

Heather_C, Aug 2024
Our guide was very knowledgeable about every site we went to and even had a few personal stories to share. The EMF readers added to the fun. We definitely recommend!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for joining us on our Ghost History Tour. It is fun to see how the EMF detectors go off! It does add to the experience.

fun, interesting, engaging

Kayla_P, Aug 2024
The guide was very kind and informative! We did this as a group for a business event and everyone had a great time.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you so much for joining me on the Denver Capitol Hill Ghost / History Tour. It was nice to meet you all. I'm glad I could be a part of your Corporate Event!

Would You Stay in This House??

Donna_H, Jul 2024
Tori was an excellent tour guide. She gave us great details on what happened in these homes, and the stories that continue to happen today. It was fascinating to hear about the different events that occurred, years ago. It was nice to have Blake along, as he added to the stories with his pictures and insights. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hmmmmmmmmm, not sure I would stay in a house that haunted. LOL The stories are so fascinating and historical. Thank you for joining us on the Denver Ghost / History tour in beautiful Capitol Hill. Happy Haunting!

Great historical tour and ghost stories.

beaux1214, Jul 2024
Seeing the beautiful mansions and hearing the history of the buildings and neighborhoods. Highly recommend this tour to families and friends.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for joining the Denver Capitol Hill Ghost/ History tour! We are so glad you had a wonderful time. Your high recommendation is greatly appreciated.😊👻

There was no tour

Kay_C, Mar 2024
We were late to the tour but the tour guide went home for the day so we didn’t do anything. Apparently we were the only group but they cancelled the tour without telling us.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

The tour was not cancelled. You booked a tour for 7 pm and the tour guide was there at 6:45 sent you a text at 7:05 when you didn't show up and waited for you to show until 7:22 before they left the downtown area. You text the guide back at 7:25 and said you thought the tour was at 7:30; that is totally on you. The websites all clearly state the times of the tours. When you finally spoke to the guide at 7:30 you were even offered a credit to take another tour on a future date due to your mistake. You declined stating you wouldn't be back in the area. We can not wait for 30 minutes after a tour begins to wait for a group to show due to their inability to get the time correct. Thank you.

Great Denver history

Rachel_M, Dec 2023
Tour guide was very knowledgable and excited about the topic. Learned a lot of Denver history. Didn’t see any ghosts but she showed us pictures of her sightings in the same locations.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Great way to spend and hour and a half with the family!

Very wonderful experience

Paula_C, Jul 2023
Sheila was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable and you can just tell that she loves what she does. It was just three of us at the 9 PM tour and we were able to communicate with something at the Patterson Inn. We also were able to capture a ghost cat at the Molly Brown House. Very fun, spooky, and enjoyable. Would recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you, Paula! It was a pleasure having you join me on the Denver Ghost History Tour! What an experience communicating with spirit! :) And, capturing my favorite cat ghost in your photo was amazing! If you're ever in Denver again, please join my tour again.

Good overall

qw7h5y2f9m, Jul 2023
My experience was good I did have an interesting time and I did learn new things I didn’t know but my guide walked a little too fast and did not pay as much attention to me when I tried to add to the conversation they were having with someone I assume was a new hire

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for your review. I'm glad you learned new things on the tour.
