Freaky Foot Tours Tucson | Best Ghost Tour in Tucson, AZ

The overview

Old Tucson, after dark.

Freaky Foot Tours brought its research-driven storytelling from Flagstaff to Tucson in 2025, launching the Ghosts of Downtown Tucson Haunted History Tour. Departing nightly from Hotel Congress, expert guides walk guests through the darker corners of the city’s past.

The Tucson chapter runs on the same original-research approach that earned the mother-and-son-owned company its following in northern Arizona, and the public record shows it landed: 4.9 stars across 229 Google reviews, 4.8 on Viator, and a growing Tripadvisor record. In 2025 that record cleared our bar too: the Centurion Award for Best Ghost Tour in Tucson.

Tours depart nightly from 311 E Congress St. Book ahead in October, when the whole city wants a ghost story.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Freaky Foot Tours cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
