The Aspen's DarkSide Ghost Tour was one of the highlights of our trip! It's the perfect mix of history, mystery, and just the right amount of spooky fun. Our guide was a great storyteller. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Aspen's colorful past. The blend of true historically events with eerie ghost tales kept everyone hooked from the start to finish.
Walking through the quiet streets and historic buildings after dark gives you a whole new appreciation for Aspen from beyond its ski-town glamor. You really get to see the towns hidden side - old mining stories, quirky characters and a few chills along the way!
The pacing was great, and the atmosphere was perfectly eerie without being over-the-top. Weather you're a believer in ghosts or just love a good story, this tour is a must-do.
If you're visiting Aspen and want something unique, entertaining, and unforgettable, I can't recommend the DarkSide Ghost Tour enough. A hauntingly good time!👻

It was rainy and cold but the tour went on. Dean was insightful, engaging, and awesome!
I took my mom to Aspen to celebrate her 50th birthday and she was sooo excited for this tour.
The rest of our time in Aspen, we’d recall the buildings and stories from Dean’s tour. 10/10.
