Downtown Phoenix Historic District · Orpheum Theatre · Civic Space Park
Ghost City Tours operates ghost walking tours in dozens of U.S. cities, with Phoenix among its programs advertised as running since 2012. In Phoenix the company runs three separately ticketed products: the family-friendly Ghosts of Phoenix Tour, open to all ages; the 16-and-up Wicked West Ghost Tour; and the 21-and-up Phoenix Haunted Pub Crawl.
The company's own site frames Phoenix's history around its Old West and frontier past — hangings, shootouts, and frontier justice predating the modern downtown skyline. As with the operator's other cities, guides narrate from public sidewalks and exteriors rather than accessing private interiors.
Meeting points differ by tour: the Ghosts of Phoenix Tour starts at 300 W Monroe St, on the corner by the parking garage stairs; the Phoenix Haunted Pub Crawl starts at the Orpheum Theatre, 203 W Adams St; and the Wicked West Ghost Tour starts at Civic Space Park, 365 N 1st Ave, under the "Her Secret is Patience" sculpture.

Each Phoenix tour draws on a different slice of the operator's stated material. The Ghosts of Phoenix Tour is framed around downtown's historic hotels and theaters, described by the operator as home to the spirits of the pioneers and outlaws who built the city, though the operator's page does not name the specific buildings covered. The Wicked West Ghost Tour covers what the operator describes as real sites of hangings, shootouts, and frontier justice, focused on the stories of outlaws, madams, and murderers of Phoenix's Old West period. The Phoenix Haunted Pub Crawl visits four of the operator's selected haunted bars and taverns, where guests reportedly experience cold spots and unexplained encounters, though the operator's page does not name the specific bars.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history verified independently for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
