My husband and I were attempting to make our "stay-cation" in Houston as exciting as possible, making the most out of our necessity to stay put this summer, hehe! Since we both grew up here, we were interested in the challenge of making discoveries about our hometown, going places and experiencing things we had never done before in the "Bayou City". This lead us to Nightly Spirits! Our guide was Katie, whose ability to engage a crowd was evident! In full costume, she presented the haunted stories of each location in a detailed and entertaining way. She also used humor throughout the tour, which people enjoyed. She would playfully put people in the spotlight, occasionally making guests an active participant in the telling of each tale. She skillfully paced herself in covering information and was also very attentive to the group, emphasizing safety and keeping track of all of us at each stop. Well aware of the reckless tendencies of Houston drivers, she was especially protective of us when we crossed streets, unhesitant in coming to our defense by chastising cars that were disregarding traffic laws, which was both amusing and appreciated! :-) It was clear that Katie had befriended everyone along the tour's route, which made our presence in each bar or hotel feel like a welcome one. And it's no wonder-Katie was having a great time hosting us, which made everyone she interacted with share her enjoyment of the event! She would also go out of her way to get personal accounts from employees on any encounters they may have had with the supernatural so that she could include these details on the tour. I was surprised to learn that in our group of over a dozen people, the Houstonians were the minority, with most people visiting from out of town! If you are ever in Houston, I recommend taking this enjoyable tour with a fun guide. It's a unique way to spend time downtown and learn about stories of specific people and places in the city's history, regardless of your beliefs about the paranormal. The tour's goal is to grow, adding more ghostly destinations to the walk. After taking this tour, I would definitely be interested in exploring other haunted offerings around the city! So far, our "stay-cation" is proving to provide more thrills than we bargained for! :-) read more

I did my second tour with Nightly Spirits last night and it was just as fun as the first! I went on the Lodo ghost tour pub crawl last summer for a girlfriends birthday party and had a blast. It was such a fun activity to do with friends. Learning the history of Denver intermixed with engaging ghost stories turned into a very fun night out. Last night, I did the SoBo (south broadway) tour and absolutely loved it! I had a close friend in town and wanted to show her the town in a fun and interesting way. We visited a couple of distilleries and bars which had great drink specials for the ghost tour. Kendrick was my tour guide for both of the tours I went on. If you can go with Kendrick, GO WITH KENDRICK! He is a fantastic and engaging storyteller who is genuinely passionate about the history of Denver and the spooky stories he tells. We had some really rambunctious guys on this tour who were heckling Kendrick (why pay good money for a ghost tour just to be an asshole the whole time?! Honestly!) and Kendrick handled it like a champ. He's a genuinely nice guy who really cares about clients having a great time. I'm excited to try their new haunted food tour. read more

Ren was our guide and overall it was a pleasure going however I would like to say two things: Mario's pizza and the Oxford should probably be either taken off the tour or their management should rethink some of their choices of hiring and cleaning. We really enjoyed Ren; she did an AMAZING JOB of keeping us entertained and I thought it was well done. They should definitely let Mario's Pizza know that they need to hirer better or more experienced bartenders because their staff on Saturday night was horrible: it took 20 minutes to get a bartender to even take our drink orders and we decided after the tour to go back for pizza and let me tell you DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY AT MARIO'S PIZZA it was burned none of the extra toppings that we paid for were on it and the bar wasn't busy at all but the bartenders were too busy socializing with their friends and even the waitress couldn't get serviced and had to make her own. The Oxford smelled horrible and was way overpriced for the crap drinks they could make. All in all we loved Ren and the actual tour We only suggest maybe finding a few different bars to put in so thwy don't hurt the tour.. read more

It was a great time and I recommend to anybody to take this tour. I did not think this was a waste of money...and I certainly don't remember waiting 30 minutes for a drink, maybe 1 minute. I thought the stories were entertaining and the tour guide did a good job of making everyone feel comfortable and trying to talk to everyone in the group about Denver history. She was knowledgeable and answered all questions very well. I think the reviewer below is missing the point of the tour...which is not only to learn a bit of history, but also to be exposed to new places in Denver and make a few new friends. I had fun and would take this tour again, but think that some people are impossible to please and like to complain about everything. If you have a hard time socializing and hate having fun, then don't take the tour...but if you like having fun, meeting people, and learning haunted history, then definitely sign up. I would recommend it to anyone! read more

It was my birthday and I didn't want to do the same old thing. I happened to come across nightly spirits online and thought it was a fantastic idea. I was right! I had a group of 9 people with me but there was probably a total of 20 people on the tour. The best part was our tour guide Jared! He was AMAZING. Not only was he well versed in the spooky history of Denver, but he was a great host. He did a fabulous job of making our group jive together. Our tour group had the same energy level and I attribute that to Jared. If you are considering this tour, you will not be disappointed if Jared is you guide. I highly recommend this tour! You will hear about Denver history spooky and not, see underground tunnels and vaults not open to the public, enjoy tasty beverages, and have a very entertaining evening! read more

If you want something fun then give this tour a try. The price is resonable and the tour is different. If you enjoy history as well as spooky stories its a win. I learned a few intresting things during the tour and not just about ghost. Our guide was Leslie and she was amazing! She's funny, witty with a great personality and loves "La Corona" (insider joke) :-) Like with any tour attitude is everything. So if you come with a postitive attitude then you should have a nice time. While on the tour you will discover interesting details and see places you probably never knew about. Last piece of advice.. Ladies you will walk a little so bring comfortable shoes. Fellas make sure your girl wears comfortable shoes lol. Ask for Leslie you will love her.. read more

My wife and I took the 7:30 tour and it was great! Imagine being told ghost stories in a dimly lit basement while the beams above you creak with signs of life. The walls are ancient and the very ground you walk upon is riddled with tragedy. The history drips from everywhere you go as you adventure from bar to bar (saloon to saloon) and imagine the way it was. Be prepared to be mildly freaked out by what you hear and see as the evening unfolds slowly before you. Hats off to our guide, Alice, who made old Denver come alive for the evening. Well done! Needless to say, I highly recommend the tour. It's 2.5 HRS, but there's plenty of downtime to sit down and catch a bite to eat and partake in the spirits. A great time to be had by all. read more

A great way to learn something about the history of Denver and see some of the oldest buildings in the city. You get to experience some of the underground tunnels and see a little bit of the 'seedy' side of Denver. This is a great tour to do with a group of friends. Adequate time for having a drink at each of the bar stops and take in the atmosphere at some of the oldest and lesser known bars in LoDo. Cody was a great tour guide and kept the group engaged. Some of the stories could have been more concise and they dragged at points. But overall we had a good time with our friends and got a nice introduction to some very cool bars in LoDo that we wouldn't have gone to except for a tour like this. Definitely worth the price. read more

This tour was an awesome experience! My four sisters, one cousin, mom and myself, all decided to go on this during our "Girls Weekend" in Denver. Our guide Kendrick was extremely entertaining and was so good at telling all the stories in a way that everyone got into them! It was a really great way for those of us that aren't from Denver to learn a bit more about the history and get to see and experience some really awesome and different locations we may not have stumbled upon otherwise. In the same vein, there were several people in our tour group from Denver that said they learned a lot about the city that they never knew as well. This was a steal of a deal for what a great time we had! read more

This tour was fantastic, I highly recommend checking it out! Chelsea, our tour guide, was incredible! Cute, funny (or rather punny), and great at telling the stories in an engaging way! She knows all the little details and throws in some extra fun facts with some of the stories and it's awesome. This is my favorite ghost tour that I've been on. We went to four different bars and were told several ghost stories at each one, and some on the street as we walked to our next location. You can tell it's a very organized tour and Chelsea knew exactly what we all wanted to hear! If you're ever in Houston, check out Nightly Spirits and see if you can hitch a ride in Chelsea's tour. read more

Joaquin knocked it out of the park for us! He's a powerhouse of charisma who spends his evenings sharing his enthusiasm for his hometown with strangers. That's definitive good hospitality, and it was just the right tone to set for our trip to Denver! The bars you visit on this tour are excellent samples of what the downtown area has to offer for nightlife, and a good jumping off point if you want to carry on once the tour is finished. The ghost stories are a delightful garnish on the history of Denver that starts to emerge as you listen. It's experiences like this one that really connect you to a city, to want to know more and see more. read more

My fiancé and myself signed up for the Nightly Spirits tour last minute for our first night in Denver when we visited, and it was the best decision we made! Not only did we get to see a lot of the local architecture and cool buildings, we got to experience four different bars/pubs and eat some amazing pizza at the joint connected to Double Daughters! Kendrick was our guide, and he was awesome! Chill and super funny, he made the history of Denver entertaining, along with the cool ghost stories! We definitely recommend this tour, along with our guide! It was amazing fun, and would definitely do it again on our next trip into Denver! read more

I went on this tour with three other friends of mine and we all absolutely loved every minute of it! Our guide was Sheriff Kendrick and he was so fun and easy-going. You could also tell that he loves what he does just by how he presented all the stories that went along with each place we stopped at. Additionally, he was very open to questions and comments from the group which made for a very comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere even when surrounded by creepiness. Suffice to say that we all had a great time and would definitely be willing to go again! Thanks to Nightly Spirits and Sheriff Kendrick for a wonderful evening! read more

This weekend, I was visiting some friends who live in Denver, and we always plan a ghost tour to whichever area we we visit. We are so glad that we stumbled upon Nightly Spirits! This tour was great for anyone wanting to learn about some of the spooky highlights of downtown Denver. We had Kendrick as a guide, and we could not be more thrilled with the tour that he gave us. He was personable, he made his stories very engaging, and he included other very interesting facts about the areas we were visiting. The walking was a good distance without being too strenuous. Overall, a great experience! read more

I just checked out the new Austin tour and had a blast! Angela was our tour guide and she was great! It was very entertaining and I learned a lot of new things about the city I've lived in for over 15 years. The stories were awesome and it was a very fun experience overall. We got to check out a lot of cool places that I've never even been to or heard of. Angela was awesome at answering all our questions and her enthusiasm and passion really shined through! Thanks for a great time! Definitely would recommend this unique experience to everyone in Austin! read more

A "cowboy" in tennis shoes walking around telling stories about Denver that may or may not be true but are definitely not scary and very few are even about hauntings. Just a bunch of weird history. We went to 4 pubs...Celtic, Two Sisters, The Oxford (which had a bar that only a limited number could go into), and Union Station. Good thing that most of our bunch were drinking heavy because their drunk butts kept me.more entertained and entranced than Mr. Cowboy. The druggies gathered around us at Union Station were about the scariest part of the evening. read more

You want a no holds barred FUN night in the great mile high city? This is the tour for you.No superlatives can describe what a fantastic tour guide Kendrick is. I'm an actor, performer, storyteller and teacher, and Kendrick was so good at storytelling and overall people skills, he inspired to want to take this tour again and even be a part of it. Combining historical knowledge with spooky stories and a punny delivery, he was always engaging and aware. And to be drinking during all of this? Nightly Spirits is the pub crawl of all pub crawls. read more

We had Rick as our tour guide and we highly recommend him and this tour. You get to go to a few very cool bars/famous Denver locations while hearing ghosts stories and interesting historical facts about Denver. I have lived in or near Denver all my life and I learned some very cool things I never knew! We got to spend a good amount of time at each bar to drink and it was a very fun and relaxing evening. Rick was a funny and knowledgeable tour guide- I am having my friends go and make sure they get him :) read more

This tour is a really fun way to spend a few hours on a weekend night! Kendrick was a fantastic and well-informed guide who incorporated a perfect amount of humor. We checked out four bars all within a comfortable walking distance and made a couple of stops outside along the way, including a spot where you can see bricked up entrances to the tunnels that run underneath the city. Overall very fascinating and spooky! Only caution is that drinks are not included in the $25 reservation fee. read more
