Our guide gave us a great history of Traverse City and recounted the experiences she and other people had inside and outside the city’s historical buildings. We had a good time laughing with our guide, walking through the city, and learning about common ghost hunting equipment and how to NOT disturb spirits in their resting places.

A lot of stories about ghosts presumably present in various establishments but was taken INSIDE any. Whether they are stories or urban legends don't know. Not 1 bit scary and in fact was to an extent hilarious instead. At the 1st point (radio station) next day accidentally met the guy who worked there and asked him to comment. He laughed and offered to take us down and in a very politically correct way said few things which can be summed up with 1 word I guess: "Suckers". Well the price wasn't that high, so was fine I guess.

Des was great! Very knowledgeable and made learning history interesting! She threw in some dramatic flair which made it much more fun! Would highly recommend!

Great history of Travers City. Wonderful stories of hauntings. Looking for the boy with the ball. It was great.

The guide was very nice but unfortunately she is not an experienced orator, the stories were not very interesting and there was really no coherent theme. Give it a miss.

Loved the history and Architecture was incorporated into the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable. She was also interested to learn about experiences everyone on the tour had. First ghost tour where we were given ghost hunting tools to check for paranormal activity. Highly recommend.

Desiree is a fantastic guide. The tour is a perfect mix of history and ghost stories. We loved it!
One small drawback - we were forewarned that parking would be very difficult to find so we decided to take a Lyft which was great, however there was no return Lyft available when the tour ended at 9:30 pm. The evening ended with an unplanned 3.5 mile hike back to our AirBnb.
So definitely take the tour but bring your car!

Thank you so much for coming out on my tour. Parking is best and easiest at the Hardy Parking Garage right across where we meet. Traverse City closes early on nights. It can be a challenge to find services late at night. Thank you so much again and I wish you more spirited adventures! ~Des

Nice to here the local history tied in with ghost stories. And that funeral home mansion was amazing. Wish we could have toured inside.

Dez was great! A punny delivery of the paranormal history of Traverse City. She was quite knowledgeable and shared some of her own ghostly experiences.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
