    The Story

    About This Mural Tour

    Tucson is known for its vibrant murals and lively street art, and much of it can be found in its historic downtown. You will walk the city’s pleasant sidewalks with a knowledgeable guide and discover colorful, eclectic and bold paintings–some in unusual places! Starting at the “Arrival of the Railroad” mural and proceeding to the Rialto Theatre’s alley, history and art become intertwined. You’ll be amazed by the “Empowered Woman” and smile at the 60s-ish HUB mural. The Mexican-Latin influence is everywhere, especially with “La Guitarrista” and “Vergriss.” You’ll see one mural celebrating “El Tour de Tucson” and another honoring PETA . “That’s a Wrap”--Tucson’s move to beautify downtown utility boxes-is evident as are brilliantly colored store-commissioned murals. You ‘ll mosey through the iconic “Rock the Spot” parking lot and say hello to Linda. The grand finale is grand indeed–the Three Cowboys, who look out from the Court building and pay homage to Tucson rodeo culture.

    “What a wonderful experience we had touring some of Tucson's fabulous, iconic southwestern murals! Our guide, Monk, is an artist himself, which added to his knowledge, interest and passion for the street art.”

    Before You Book

    Quick answers

    How do I book a Freaky Foot Tours walking tour?

    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.

    What is the cancellation policy?

    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.

    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 time does the Tucson ghost tour start and where does it meet?

    The Downtown Tucson Haunted History Tour meets at Hotel Congress, 311 E Congress St, on the Toole Avenue side of the building by the Visit Hotel Congress mural. Departures are at 8 PM this summer; check the booking calendar for tonight's exact time. The tour runs 90 minutes over about one mile. Adults $29, students $25, children $22. Arrive 15 minutes early.

    Is Hotel Congress in Tucson haunted?

    Hotel Congress, opened 1919, is Tucson's most famous haunt: staff and guests report activity around Room 242, and the hotel's history includes the 1934 fire that led to John Dillinger's capture in Tucson. It is the meeting point and first story of our Downtown Tucson Haunted History Tour.

    Did John Dillinger really get caught in Tucson?

    Yes. The 1934 fire at Hotel Congress smoked the Dillinger gang out of hiding, and a Tucson firefighter's memory for faces, helped along by a $12 tip, set up an arrest that had eluded police across the Midwest. How the whole gang ended up in handcuffs is the opening story of our Downtown Tucson Haunted History Tour.
