What To Expect
The Frank E. Moss Federal Courthouse in Salt Lake City, completed in 1905, originally served as a post office and courthouse. The building is steeped in history, with tales of the stern Judge Ritter who presided there, and lingering ghostly presences that some say still echo through its halls, adding a chilling aura to this historic site.
The Holiday Inn Express in Salt Lake City, while presenting a welcoming facade, conceals a disturbing past that reflects some of Utah's darker history. Despite multiple remodels over the years, the hotel's history is marred by unsettling events, and rumors of paranormal activity have emerged, adding an eerie undertone to its otherwise inviting atmosphere.

5.00Cody was so informative before and during the tour. I asked about parking ahead of time and he got back to me in a timely fashion. His love for history, story telling and love for SLC was evident during our walk. The 1 hour went by so fast!

5.00Cody made the bitingly cold, snowy night an entertaining one. Most people choose this tour during October but December is better because of all the downtown Christmas lights!
Salt Lake City's Dark Side

5.00We had a wonderful time with Devorah learning about Salt Lake City's creepy tales, including true crime, cults, and historical forgery. We learned about several beautiful historical buildings and their dark former inhabitants. I would recommend this tour for anyone who is visiting Salt Lake City and wants something that is *not* organized by any church. This tour would also be great for locals who would like to learn more about their city.
Nice walking tour of downtown

3.00It was a fun tour of downtown SLC. As long as you’re in it for the entertainment you should enjoy it. Our guide gave lots of personal antidotes and plenty of speculation.
Underwhelmed

2.00I was underwhelmed by the tour. I didn’t expect much in terms of ghost stories but the presentation lacked finesse and much thought. I felt like our guide had the opportunity to share some cool history about SLC at the very least but he seemed to fumble through the facts and be long winded. Also, some details of history were manipulated for the stories which maybe is to be expected from a tour like this? I’m not sure, but a quick internet search while on the tour had me fact checking him and wondering what else he was getting wrong. Also, it’s unfortunate that the homeless population impacted our experience - I was a little uneasy in certain areas where there was either a larger gathering of transients and/or they were interfering with the tour by mumbling, interrupting the guide, even following us for a bit, etc. I know this is out of the guides control but having a backup plan or providing some helpful tips to the guides when they experience these situations would be wise.
Ghost tour is a must

4.00Isabella was great. The ghost stories ranged from 1800s to 1980s. Some of the stops were under construction, so it took away a little from the stories. I wa shopping for more LDS insight and history, but it was a great tour and evening. We loved seeing the city at night with a little story telling along the way!
