What people are saying about Denver

A visit (long version) of almost two hours where we move from place to place near the Denver Capitol. Our guide (very friendly) tells us story after story. For the "paranormal" side ... strange things have happened and especially on the photos taken (orbs). Very nice visit to do.

Our tour guide was fun and described the creepy ghost stories of Denver's past. I had theories as well and asked additional questions that she entertained. It was worth my time and money. Thx

Our guide was amazing - animated and truly loves her ghosts. We did fact check some of the stories, history tells another story on the Espinosa clan.

Had a great time with the tour and enjoyed the stories our guide told. We had a fun group and covered a good amount of ground. Would do another.

Very friendly, engaging, & spooky! We really enjoyed the erie history of the capital hill area! ☠️ Would recommend Sheila's Tour for all ages.
