Q: What's the Difference Between a Private and Public Denver Ghost Tour?

A public Denver ghost bus tour is a great way to meet other visitors and explore Denver's haunted history with a small group. A private Denver ghost bus tour gives your group the entire shuttle and your own guide.

Choose private if you want:

• The bus exclusively for your group

• A more personal experience with your guide

• Flexibility around your preferred date and departure time

• A great option for celebrations and group events

• The ability to enjoy the experience entirely with your own friends, family or coworkers

 

If your group already has 8–20 people, a private tour can also be a particularly fun way to turn a ghost tour into a private night out. Public or private, the ghosts don't discriminate...

​

Q. Is a Private Denver Ghost Tour Right for Your Group?

You know your group best! It's a great fit esepcially if:

• You're traveling with 8–14 people

• You want the bus to yourselves

• You're celebrating something

• You want a unique Denver group activity

• You'd rather hear ghost stories than make small talk at another bar

• You want a tour that's spooky without being a full-blown haunted house

• You have coworkers who could use a little supernatural team building
