Two Ways to Walk Prescott
Pick your Prescott tour
History by daylight, ghosts after dark. Both routes step off from the Rough Rider statue on Courthouse Plaza and put you back on Whiskey Row when they end.
History · Morning
Prescott History Tour
Arizona's first capital. The oldest bar on Whiskey Row. A fire that leveled downtown while patrons carried their drinks to the courthouse lawn.

The Buildings That Do the Talking
Three landmarks, three reasons to linger downtown
Every Prescott route walks the same blocks the territory was run from. These are the headliners.
✦ Whiskey Row · Fire of 1900
The Palace Saloon
When the great fire of July 1900 took Whiskey Row, the Palace's patrons carried their drinks to the courthouse lawn and kept drinking while the block burned. The bar came back. So did some of the regulars, your guide will argue.

✦ Corner of the Plaza
Hotel St. Michael
Rebuilt in brick after the 1900 fire, it has watched Courthouse Plaza from the corner of Montezuma and Gurley ever since. Look up at the gargoyles, then ask your guide who they were carved to resemble.

✦ Est. 1927
The Hassayampa Inn
Prescott's grand hotel opened in 1927 with a hand-painted lobby and a hand-cranked elevator. Guides save the story of the bride in the balcony room for the sidewalk out front, after dark.

Guides who know the RowFive generations of Arizona roots
The Local Tour, Not the Franchise
Prescott is a town we learned on foot, not a pin on a franchise map.
Freaky Foot Tours is mother and son owned, founded in Arizona in 2015 and never franchised. The Prescott routes were researched the slow way: courthouse records, newspaper archives and long conversations with the people who pour the drinks on Whiskey Row.
- Researched stops, not a script from headquarters. Names, dates and the year the fire jumped the street. Ask a follow-up question. Our guides love follow-up questions.
- 4.9 on Google across 125+ Prescott reviews, part of 1,500+ verified reviews cross-platform and 30,000+ guests guided since 2015.
- Featured on Travel Channel's The Dead Files in 2022. Every route we run starts with the research of a Northern Arizona author, and Prescott is held to that same standard.
- Guides with five generations of Arizona roots. Guides like Shane know the Row block by block. Ask where to get a drink after the tour. On Whiskey Row, that answer takes a while.

Book online through our secure Peek booking calendar (every tour page has a Book Now button), or call or text us at (928) 224-0518. Booking a few days ahead is recommended: tours are small groups, Friday and Saturday departures regularly sell out, and October is our busiest month of the year.

Are Freaky Foot Tours ghost tours kid-friendly?
Our regular ghost and history tours are all-ages: the stories are true history told honestly, not jump scares, and kids 8 to 12 usually love them. We recommend 13+ for the darkest material on the ghost tours. Two experiences are adults-only: Mountain Town of Madness in Flagstaff is 18+, and the private Spirits With The Spirits pub crawl is 21+.
What nights do Prescott ghost tours run?
Our Prescott Ghost Tour runs nightly at 7 PM, every night of the week, from Courthouse Plaza. Departures run every night of the week, not just weekends.
Where does the Prescott ghost tour meet?
Both Prescott tours meet at the Rough Rider statue on Courthouse Plaza, 120 S Cortez St. The Prescott Ghost Tour departs nightly at 7 PM and runs 90 minutes along Whiskey Row; the Prescott History Tour departs daily at 10 AM and runs about two hours. Arrive 15 minutes early and look for your guide at the statue.
Is the Palace Saloon in Prescott haunted?
The Palace on Whiskey Row is Arizona's oldest saloon, saved by patrons who carried the bar across the street during the Great Fire of 1900. Bartenders report glasses moving and a figure regulars call the Phantom Cowboy. It is a signature stop on the Prescott Ghost Tour.
What was the Great Fire of 1900 on Whiskey Row?
The Great Fire of 1900 leveled Whiskey Row, the saloon block facing Courthouse Plaza in downtown Prescott, while patrons carried their drinks, and the Palace's bar, to the courthouse lawn and kept the evening going. Both our Prescott tours walk the rebuilt Row: the history tour covers how the town came back, and the ghost tour covers what the fire left behind.
Where do I park in downtown Prescott for a tour?
Downtown Prescott parking is free. The city's Garage on Granite, 135 S Granite St, is a free five-story garage one block off Courthouse Plaza, first come, first served as of July 2026, and curb spots around the plaza are free with posted time limits.
