Private Tour FAQ
Possibly…call or email us, and we can reach out to our tour guides about a last-minute event.
Yep — we have flexibility, as long as the tour doesn’t start at the exact same time as a public tour. Email us before booking, if you want a different time.
The tour starts and ends near Colton Hall (exact details shared upon booking).
We can adapt the tour to include a bar. The easiest way is starting and/or ending the tour at a bar, which allows ample time for both ghost stories and ghost hunting adventures (and our tour lasts the standard length).
If you choose to include a mid-tour bar stop, keep in mind that this often takes up to 45 minutes, which is approximately half the duration of our tour. This will reduce the time we have for storytelling and exploring.
For a more customized experience or to discuss specific options, feel free to reach out to us at info@thehauntghosttours.com. We’re more than happy to accommodate your group’s needs and make your ghost tour experience both spooky and enjoyable!
