Prescott Ghost Tour FAQ: Answers From the Guides

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.

Full refund when you cancel 24 or more hours before the tour; no refund under 24 hours. Tours run rain, snow or starlight; if we ever cancel a departure, you get a full refund or a free rebooking, your choice.

Ours are. Flagstaff and Prescott ghost tours run nightly in every season (winter tours in the snow are a local favorite), and Tucson runs through the year with summer departures timed after sunset. Check each tour's booking calendar for tonight's availability.

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.

Most tours are 75 minutes to 2 hours and cover about one easy mile of historic downtown sidewalks at a storyteller's pace. Wear comfortable shoes; Flagstaff sits at 7,000 feet, so bring water and a layer even in summer.

Our tours are outdoor walking tours that stop directly outside the haunted landmarks while your guide tells the documented stories of what happened inside. Many stops, like Flagstaff's Hotel Monte Vista and the Weatherford, are public buildings you can walk into on your own after the tour, and we tell you exactly where to look.

No actors, no jump scares, no costumes. Our tours are documented history with the dark parts left in, which most guests find scarier. If a ten-year-old asks a question, our guides can answer it honestly without giving anyone nightmares.

Yes. Freaky Foot Tours is Arizona owned and operated, founded in Flagstaff in 2015 by a mother-and-son team who have lived there for more than 30 years. We were Flagstaff's first locally owned ghost tour company, and the Tucson and Prescott tours run the same way: local guides, original research, no franchise scripts.

Yes, daily at 10 AM from the Rough Rider statue on Courthouse Plaza. The Prescott History Tour covers about one mile in two hours: Arizona's first territorial capital, Whiskey Row, the Carnegie Library and the courthouse that anchors it all. Adults $35, students $30, children $25. It is the daylight companion to the nightly ghost tour, and plenty of guests do both.

Guests rate our Prescott tours 4.9 on Google from more than 125 reviews, and Freaky Foot Tours ranks #1 of 36 tours and activities in Prescott on TripAdvisor as of July 2026. We also walk every night of the week, so the night you are in town is a night we are walking Whiskey Row.

Yes. We lead tours rain or shine, wind or snow, and we carry umbrellas for anyone who needs one. Northern Arizona weather can change a dozen times a day, so we have gotten good at judging it; if extreme weather ever forces a cancellation, we tell you at least an hour before departure and you choose a full refund or a free rebooking.

Layers and comfortable shoes. Downtown Prescott sits at roughly a mile of elevation, so evenings cool off fast once the sun drops, even after warm afternoons. The tour covers about one mile of sidewalks in 90 minutes at an easy pace. In winter, dress for real mountain-town cold.

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+.

Yes, the Prescott Ghost Tour is all-ages, with 13 and up recommended for the darkest stories. It is true frontier history told straight: fires, shootouts and saloon justice, not actors in masks. Children's tickets are $22, and the daytime Prescott History Tour is an easy pick for younger kids who like a good story.

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.

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.

Yes. Prescott was the first capital of Arizona Territory, designated in 1864, and the story of how the capital moved (twice) is part of our daily 10 AM Prescott History Tour through Courthouse Plaza and Whiskey Row.

Prescott's hauntings cluster in the historic hotels around Courthouse Plaza and Whiskey Row, including the Hotel St. Michael on the Row itself. Guests ask most about a woman heard weeping in Room 426 and a ghost cat in Room 16; the nightly Prescott Ghost Tour stops where both stories live, and your guide names the hotels and tells you what happened. We keep the payoffs for the sidewalk.

The history is documented: the Great Fire of 1900, the territorial-capital fights and Whiskey Row's saloon record are all on paper, researched for our tours by a Northern Arizona author with decades of archive work. The hauntings are what the people who work in these buildings report, retold as reported. When a tale is legend rather than record, your guide says so.

Yes. Every public route in Flagstaff, Tucson and Prescott can run as a private departure for birthdays, work teams, reunions, bachelorette parties and school groups. Several experiences are private-only: the Southside tour, the Spirits With The Spirits pub crawl, the Citizens Cemetery tour and the paranormal investigation, all quoted per group. Call or text (928) 224-0518 or use the contact form and we will build it around you.

Well-behaved leashed dogs are welcome on our Flagstaff sidewalk tours, the Original Flagstaff Ghost Tour and Mountain Town of Madness. Downtown gets loud and busy on weekend nights, so bring your dog only if crowds will not make them anxious. For Tucson, Prescott or a private tour, call or text (928) 224-0518 before booking and we will confirm for your date.

Our downtown tours follow city sidewalks for about one mile at a storyteller's pace with frequent stops, so many guests with mobility considerations do fine. The one exception is the private Citizens Cemetery tour in Flagstaff, which covers uneven ground. If someone in your group needs an accommodation, call or text (928) 224-0518 before booking and we will do our best to make the tour work.

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.

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. For the two-hour history tour, skip the 2-hour spaces. Our guide Where to Park in Downtown Prescott has the full rundown.
