okay guys this was amazing!!! I was a little bit of a septic but I did have a paranormal experience. Full blown panic attack and I’m not one to be over exaggerating or anything of that sorts. I love crime and ghost stories and horror movies and if I had to recommend any ghost tour it would be this one! Seriously guys! My tour guide bestie was Bailey and was so friendly and amazing I loved how she told the stories def would do this again!!

Jarrod is the owner and coordinator. We created a private four hour tour of the Phoenix area and only mentioned an interest in history, nature, art and culture. He gave it all to us with incredible knowledge and an entertaining personality. Couldn't ask for anything better.

Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and interesting as we toured safely around town. We were especially interested in the Winnie Ruth Judd house, and he let us spend a long time there. Everything was comfortable, on time, and factual while being entertaining.
