Where Denver's LoDo Ghost Stories Meet Real History
A 2.5-hour LoDo walk where ghost stories and Denver history share the route, from Market Street to Larimer Square.
Smile High Tours runs this walk through Lower Downtown, which the listing calls the historic heart of Denver. It describes 2.5 hours of haunted history on foot, starting in front of the House of Mirrors at 1946 Market Street. The walk ends in Larimer Square, not where it began, so plan your ride or parking around the finish. A reviewer writing in July 2026 summed it up as "an excellent mix of history, lore, truth and supernatural".
Confirmation is instant. The calendar shows start times from 11:00 AM to 11:30 PM, and booking closes an hour before each start.

The listing promises "the city's most infamous haunted locations" in LoDo but publishes no stop list. The operator's own photos for this tour show the lobby of the Oxford Hotel and the front of Union Station, both captioned as haunted, plus Honor Farm on Blake Street, captioned as sitting over the old Blake Street vaults. A reviewer writing in October 2025 traced one run: history at the meeting spot, down Market Street to Union Station, on to the Oxford Hotel, and a finish in front of a speakeasy. Union Station's own site says its Great Hall closes for cleaning from midnight to 5:30 AM, which matters on the latest departures. A September 2026 reviewer said the group went into buildings they would never have thought to enter. Treat any single stop as likely rather than promised; reviewers describe guides adjusting the stops and pace to the group.
Ghost Stories Told Through Denver's History
The listing pitches the walk to history buffs and thrill-seekers alike, and reviews split the credit the same way. One reviewer, writing in May 2026, said "The stories are interesting local lore and peppered with personal experiences of the guide that you won't hear anywhere else." Others, including Colorado locals, wrote that they learned the stories behind places they had passed for years. Expect long stretches of Denver history between the ghost stories, with the guide's own encounters folded in.
Small Groups, and Sometimes a Group of One
One booking covers up to eight travelers, and the listing caps a shared departure at 20. Several reviewers ended up as the only booking on their slot, including a solo traveler in July 2026 who still got the walk. The listing also allows the operator to cancel for too few travelers, so a quiet slot can go either way. "Be ready to walk!" one reviewer wrote in May 2026. The booking page marks the tour as wheelchair accessible and suitable for all fitness levels; the operator's own website addresses neither, and reviewers describe a long time on foot. Service animals are allowed, according to the listing.
What the Ticket Covers and When Refunds Stop
Tickets start at USD 38 a person, and the listing's only inclusion is all fees and taxes. Drinks are not part of the ticket; some reviewers describe a stop at a speakeasy along the way. The operator's website has a button for tipping guides. Cancel at least 24 hours before your start for a full refund; inside 24 hours, the booking is no longer refundable. The listing lets the operator cancel for poor weather, and the operator's site adds that tours are subject to guide availability. A reviewer writing in October 2025 started out in bad weather and stayed dry until the rain stopped.
📍 Meet your guide in front of the House of Mirrors at 1946 Market Street in LoDo. The building at that address now trades as a bar called Whiskey Row, so go by the street number when you arrive. The walk finishes in Larimer Square, and one October 2025 reviewer, having parked near the start, wished it began and ended in the same place. Larimer Square, which the listing calls gorgeous and walkable, is where the stories leave you.
