On the guided Turquoise Trail Walking Tour, you will learn about Tucson's history, architecture and interesting stories from our experienced guides. Begin the tour at the Presidio Museum and hear about how its settlement had a significant impact on the City of Tucson's settlement by Europeans. See the longest-inhabited building in Tucson. Learn about Presidio Park sculptures and why they are significant to Tucson's history and culture. Walk through the Barrio Viejo, and area that grew in population in the late 1800s and early 1900s and became very ethnically diverse. View the former Carnegie Library building, which is today's Children's Museum. Discover Hotel Congress, built in 1919 across from the railroad depot, where John Dillinger's gang rented rooms and asked firemen to carry out their bags of machine guns when a fire broke out. This ultimately led to their arrest. End the tour at the Fox Theater, which has been restored to its former greatness. More stops are also included.(3 hr)

Downtown Tucson Ghost Tour: Haunted History Walking Tour
Tucson, Arizona
4.7 · 66 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.
