Absolutely had a blast on this tour. Jonathan did an amazing job incorporating his personality and wealth of knowledge to the history of Denver. Rather than just telling spooky stories he painted a picture of the history around Union Station and how that fostered many restless spirits that are seen by the many staff he’s built relationships with. His knowledge and storytelling sets the stage for better understanding the dead and presence of those who have not moved on.

We had a wonderful time on the Dark Side of Denver Tour. Jonathon Weiss was a great guide. He had a lot of historical information about Denver that many in our group had not heard about prior to this tour. There is something for everyone to enjoy whether it is ghosts, spirits or history. We had 7 people in our group and everyone enjoyed themselves.

This tour was incredibly informative and fun! The tour guide Johnathan was great! I highly recommend taking this tour as a visitor AND a resident of Denver. They clearly have a deep understanding of the areas’ meaningful history, an understanding you cannot learn from just any tour company.

Horror junkie who never tried haunted tours or anything of the like before, I decided to give a shot on this on Halloween night to shake things up after some years of stagnation. Jonathan was kind enough to sacrifice his time with his 2 year old's Trick or Treating to take us all on a FABULOUS tour. Fa-BOO-lous? I adore 1800s-1920s aesthetic, and he showed us so many beautiful things in the city that I've lived in all my life that I've never had the chance to experience, while also teaching us about the blood that built the land. Even if ghosts don't clock in, hearing the weight of what soaks the soil is definitely enthralling, you leave with a sense of vigor and a new outlook on history that you may never have known about your own city if you were born here in Denver. I was so engaged and excited with every word he spoke, he absolutely made my Halloween night once of THE BEST I've had in decades. Convinced me to book a night at the Oxford Hotel with absolute ease, that place is beautiful, and the stories in it are hauntingly exciting. Thanks so much Jonathan, you really are the best dude, I look forward to booking more tours with Dark Side soon!!
