Downtown Tucson Ghost Tour: Haunted History Walking Tour
Tucson, Arizona
4.7 · 67 reviews on Viator
In 1934, a Hotel Congress firefighter recognized John Dillinger's gang from a tip and a heavy suitcase. That capture made national headlines. But the Hotel Congress has older secrets, and it is only the first haunted stop on this tour. On this 90-minute, one-mile walk through downtown Tucson you'll visit 8 haunted landmarks: the Hotel Congress and Room 242, the Rialto Theatre and the fire that almost destroyed it, the site of the old Santa Rita Hotel, St. Augustine Cathedral, the Fox Theatre, the Pioneer Hotel fire that changed Arizona's fire codes, a recording studio with uninvited guests, and the rail yard where an O.K. Corral vendetta ended on the tracks. Every story is originally researched by co-founder and Arizona author Susan Johnson. Mother and son owned, five generations of Arizona roots, 2,000+ verified reviews. Local storytellers, not script readers. We do not enter buildings; the stories hit harder from the street. Your attendance is gravely appreciated.
