Denver's Capitol Hill Historic District ("Millionaire's Row")
The Twilight Ghost Tour is owned and operated by Best Tours of Denver, a locally based company that also runs a Denver City Bus Tour and a Best of Denver walking tour. The company's flagship product walks guests through Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood, historically known as "Millionaire's Row" for the turn-of-the-century mansions built there by the city's early elite. The operator states it does not take guests inside any of the houses on its route.
The tour has been ranked the #1 ghost tour in Denver by U.S. News & World Report in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, and one of its featured stops, the Peabody-Whitehead Mansion, has appeared on the Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures. The company is a Denver-only local operator, distinct from the multi-city Ghost City Tours chain, which separately operates a Denver program, and from Dark Side of Denver, another local operator running LoDo-focused tours.

The standard and boozy-twist tours both walk guests through Capitol Hill's historic mansion district, framed around the turn-of-the-century inhabitants of "Millionaire's Row" and reported paranormal encounters tied to those mansions. The operator states there is no way to guarantee paranormal activity, but that guests have captured photographic anomalies such as orbs, shadow people, and apparitions on past tours. The Peabody-Whitehead Mansion is cited by name as a stop that has appeared on the Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures.
