This was a bus tour with stops. Far, our tour guide, had a lot of knowledge and told the stories in a very entertaining manner. It was a lot of fun!

Must see attraction whether your visiting or a local

Fun family adventure

BeckyH, Jul 2026
Super fun experience ! I would do it again in a heartbeat! The only drawback was the van could not keep up with the 100 degree temp … “doc” was amazing !!!

Fun experience

Susan_S, Jun 2026
We had a great time with Willow and Levi. Not being from the area it was a fun way to see the sites. Only complaint is the bus was hot.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Willow is a great guide, we are so glad you enjoyed your tour.

Thanks for a great time!

Stephanie_K, May 2026
Winky was so fun! She was educational and upbeat. She gave us a lot of fun facts and spirits high 😉. I would love to do another tour with her

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Winky is a great guide, thank you for joining us.

Fun date night

Steve_M, Apr 2026
Did this as a first date and we had a lot of fun. The history was interesting. And the guide was knowledgeable but I wish he would have leaned into it a little more. But would recommend. You have to get on and off a bus so just be aware if you have mobility issues.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for the review, we will take the feedback in for training.

Haunted tour of Salt Lake City

nancy_c, Sep 2025
Willow was an amazing tour leader! Her knowledge and delivery was exceptional. Really enjoyed the entire experience and am very glad that we booked it!!!!!

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for the review, will will pass it onto your guide.

Not worth the time or money

Kim_M, Aug 2025
Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable however this entire tour was just telling us stories about killers or notorious people from Utah. Not what i have experienced on other tours of this type. Was honestly quite boring and not worth the time or money.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for sharing your experience, we always focus on the haunted history of our city. We believe the true stories are some of the most chilling which is why we also use history, ghost stories as well as pictures taken of paranormal phenomena to give the whole picture.

It is family friendly so...

Mark, Aug 2025
It is family friendly so nothing terribly spooky. Great history and interesting tales about our city.

I've been to a ghost tour...

Josephine_A, Jul 2025
I've been to a ghost tour in Chicago so I am able to compare the experience. I'm going to be a bit critical but only because I want the hostess to do better and we feel she can improve in some areas. Her presentation was impressive. Loves the outfit and the introduction. We felt where it lacked the most was the story telling. We loved the build up of the story in the beginning but then loses us with the delivery of the rest of the story. The impact has to be dramatic to draw our attention. Knowledge also needs some work. She wasn't sure on some dates which made it less believable. Knowledge and confidence in delivering the knowledge would help. The photos from an ipad that she fumbles with also less impressionable. Lastly, the vehicle was hot. Overall, it was exciting to see the city. The cemetery was a cool twist in the tour

It may be a little scary...

Laura_S, Apr 2025
It may be a little scary for kids younger than teenagers. But it was fun and informative. I learned things I'd never heard before, even as a native Salt Laker.

Response from Host, May 2025

Some of our stories are a little bit scary for younger kids. We are glad that you enjoyed your tour.

The guide was super...

Kesha_F, Mar 2025
The guide was super friendly and had a ton of info. You could tell he enjoys his job. Sometimes it was a little hard to understand him but overall really cool experience.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

thank you for joining us!

This was the most fun way to spend my birthday!!

Cory_A, Mar 2025
This tour was so great! We had such a great time and will definitely be coming back for all the other tours, too!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

We are glad you enjoyed the tour! Thank you for joining us!

Man the tour guide and...

Jared_S, Feb 2025
Man the tour guide and bus driver were incredible and you can tell they love what they do. ! But the group of people that were on the bus were talking during the presentation and stories the host was sharing. People were on talking on the phone as well, just lost the enjoyment and magic of the whole experience! Can we please respect the people around us and not be rude! Thank you so much Grimm Ghost tours!! It was a really cool experience!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you for the feedback.

Great way to start spooky season

Briauna_W, Sep 2024
I got a scratch while doing the tour you can see in my picture it looks like the letter A. Also the other picture shows some sort of white long cast on the picture it was such a great way to start the spooky season. I left wanting more and will be booking a paranormal hunt

Fun

Mark_D, Sep 2024
Lots of fun. Family friendly. Willow’s story telling made the tour. Sign up, go have fun. Worth every penny.

Bad Communication/Information

Rachael_G, Sep 2024
We can’t recommend because we didn’t get to go. They messaged just before the trip day of and changed pickup location due to construction and then when we couldn’t see them and asked where they were they said they didn’t know where we were. Responses very delayed and not matching what we told them. We were in the area they told us to go to on time and finally decided to reply to the text they had sent about location change to see where they were only to get that the ride was leaving in 2 minutes which was a 6 minute walk around the building from where we were. I suggested they give a map in the future as people doing this can be from out of area like us.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for your feedback. The text message you received was a reminder of the correct pick-up location, which matches the address provided in your booking email. Due to ongoing construction at the Salt Lake City Temple, Googling our address may lead to a different spot, which is why we send these reminders in advance. We also ask guests to arrive 10 minutes early to allow time for any location concerns. We apologize for any confusion and did offer to reschedule your tour. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out. We appreciate your understanding!

Fun Family Time

Jason_S, Sep 2024
We had a great time. The stories were surprising. I've lived in Salt Lake for most of my life and still learned a lot.

SLC spooks

Clent_M, Aug 2024
The cemetery and historical information. Our Ghost Host did a wonderful job and was very knowledgeable

Fun ride with a few haunted stories

Rebecca_S, Aug 2024
Fun way to see different areas of the city with some haunting history along the way. A comfortable ride with friendly guides.

Fun had by us 4

Tori_B, Jul 2024
Willow was a great guide. It's a bummer that this time of year the sun sets so late. It's not ideal for me to do a ghost tour in daylight. But that's an issue outside of Grimm.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

thank you for your review, we are glad you enjoyed the tour. our outer reaches tour starts a bit later and then sun is down

Recommend

Krystal_T, Jun 2024
It was a fun tour of different locations, with spooky pictures provided by previous attendees. Our guide had a bunch of stories for us, and both he and our driver (and her puppy navigator) were very nice. I definitely recommend it!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you! We are glad you enjoyed your tour.

Entertaining and a great red headed tour guide!

Pamela_J, Jun 2024
The tour was great! The most memorable was the story of the Hancock house and the story of the ghost children who died during construction.

Fun

Hyrum_s, Jun 2024
It was a fun tour. Dr-Red was great. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to go. The blue lady ghost was one of my favorites

Spooky experience!

Tiffany_H, Sep 2023
Had absolutely the best time!! Will definitely do it again when I come back next year to Salt Lake!!! Cemetery was the best part for me!

Go on this tour

Andrea_S, Apr 2023
We had so much fun learning the history & haunts of SLC! Willow is an amazing story teller and handles conflict very professionally. If you’re looking for a fun night out, go on a Grimm Haunted Tour! We’ll be going in the other haunted tours soon.

Great way to learn about Salt Lake’s haunted history

Latricia_F, Apr 2023
It was informative and great learning a little history of Salt Lake City we didn’t know about. Willow was an informative guide and scaring my husband was priceless.

A fun tour! Learned lots...

Eliza_J, Apr 2023
A fun tour! Learned lots of interesting, spooky history of Salt Lake. Would recommend, especially for the price.

Fun tour, even hearing the stories.

Angela_C, Nov 2022
Getting on the bus waiting for the rest of the group to arrive was cozy fun. They had the bus decorated and a recording that went with the haunting vibe. Willow was a great host. It was very chilly, which made it tough to stand and listen when stops were made. Suggest to bring jacket/gloves/hat. Wish we were able to actually go into some of the location buildings, but all in all still enjoyed the tour very much.

Great Tour

Hayley_B, Nov 2022
We had a great tour. We appreciated the care the team put into making sure everyone made it to the bus and our guide, Willow, was very informative and engaging. Would recommend for those from out of town looking for something to do in the downtown area.
