Guests must meet their tour's minimum age. Parents or guardians decide whether an eligible child is ready for the spooky content.
Where do we park?
We kindly request that you arrive 15 minutes before your tour starts, as parking can be a bit tricky, especially during special events. Street parking is usually the best option and can be found near the starting point of most tours. There are also parking garages available, but keep in mind that they can cost up to $40 during special events. Light rail is also a convenient option if you'd prefer to avoid parking altogether. For more detailed parking instructions, please check your booking confirmation email.

Most walking routes are about 1 mile through downtown Phoenix or Tempe. Spooks, Spirits & Speakeasy is under 1 mile, and Haunted Jails & Ruff Tails involves very little walking. Wheelchair accessibility varies by tour; check the tour's accessibility details before booking. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather.

Central Phoenix Screamix and Haunted Jails, Rails & Grave Tales are fully wheelchair accessible. Phoenix History, Mystery & Ghosts is accessible except for the final stop at Hanny's, which requires stairs down into the basement. The Millz Have Eyez is not wheelchair accessible. Contact us to confirm accessibility for other tours before booking.
Will we go inside any locations during the ghost tour?

What happens in case of bad weather or tour cancellation?
Weather decisions are generally made around 5 PM on tour day, based on current and expected conditions. If we cancel for weather, we offer rescheduling first; if you cannot reschedule, you can receive a refund. Regular cancellations receive a full refund or credit with 24 hours' notice. Operator cancellations for other unforeseen circumstances receive a full refund or credit. Call us to cancel or ask about a cancellation. No-shows are charged the full price.

We'll do our best to accommodate you, but keep in mind that tour schedules are often tight.

Our goal is to make sure you have a great experience, so communication is key!
Will we end the tour where we begin?
No, the ghost tour will not end where it started. It will conclude at a location a few blocks away from the starting point. Rest assured that your tour guide will provide directions or assistance in returning to the starting point or your desired destination once the tour is complete.
Should we tip our tour guide?
Absolutely! Tipping your tour guide is like giving them a high-five for making your tour fantastic. While it's not mandatory, it's a super cool way to show your appreciation. A general rule of thumb is to tip around 15% to 20% of the tour cost per person.
