Prescott, Arizona's first territorial capital · Whiskey Row historic saloon district · Yavapai County Courthouse Plaza
Freaky Foot Tours was founded in Flagstaff, Arizona in 2015 by mother-and-son team Susan Johnson and Nick Jones with under $150 in startup capital. The company has since grown into a three-city operation running evening ghost tours and daytime history tours in Flagstaff, Prescott, and Tucson, and has guided more than 30,000 guests over a decade. The Prescott Ghost Tour is the company's flagship offering in Prescott, walking downtown's Whiskey Row and Courthouse Plaza historic district.
Prescott served as Arizona's first territorial capital, and its downtown retains a dense stock of late-19th and early-20th-century commercial buildings along Montezuma Street (Whiskey Row), Cortez Street, and Gurley Street, including the Palace Saloon (Arizona's oldest continuously operating saloon), Hotel St. Michael, the Hassayampa Inn, Hotel Vendome, and the Elks Opera House. Several of these buildings' documented histories, independent of any tour operator, are already covered elsewhere in this corpus.
Freaky Foot Tours holds a 5.0-star rating on Google in Flagstaff and a 4.9-star rating on TripAdvisor in Prescott, where it ranks No. 1 of 36 Tours and Activities as of 2026, and has surpassed 1,700 verified guest reviews across platforms.

The Prescott Ghost Tour walks Whiskey Row and the surrounding downtown blocks, stopping at buildings the operator describes as having documented paranormal reputations: the Palace Saloon, Hotel St. Michael (including its reported Room 315 activity), the Hassayampa Inn, Hotel Vendome, and the Elks Opera House, along with additional named stops at the Granite Street Parking Garage, Old Firehouse Plaza, Arts Prescott Gallery, Matt's Longhorn Saloon, and Gurley Street Grill.
This is the tour operator's own marketing material describing what the route covers, not documented history independently verified for this listing. Several individual stops on the route — Hotel St. Michael, the Palace Saloon, and others — carry their own independently sourced haunting histories in this corpus; that sourcing belongs to those venue pages, not to this tour listing.
