Ghost Bus Tour

What To Expect

Saturday nights at 7pm, spin through the Twin Cities in comfort and hear chilling tales from the city's dark history on our haunted Minneapolis ghost bus tour. Your guide – an expert in the paranormal – narrates your journey along the streets of Minneapolis, sharing colorful stories of unexplained sightings, famous local figures, tragic misfortune, secret mafia connections, and more. Learn the secrets of famous landmarks including the Foshay Tower, the Minneapolis City Hall, the Soap Factory, and the First Avenue. Along the way, you’ll separate fact from fiction in famous stories like the Harry Hayward murder case, the strange suicides of the Washington Avenue Bridge, and the spirits of the Washburn A Mill – whose tragic explosion in 1878 left a lasting mark on the city.

This is the only bus tour in Minneapolis that specializes in haunted tales and paranormal experiences. It’s also the only one in which you’ll hear the haunting stories of downtown Minneapolis.

Join us on this insightful and fully narrated 3-hour bus tour with multiple stops off the bus exploring Minneapolis's most iconic and haunted areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you go inside any of the haunted buildings?

    On this tour, we focus on building exteriors and outdoor spaces. Businesses and public places are open for you to visit during regular business hours. Otherwise we respect the privacy of individuals and organizations and expect that our guests do the same.

  • Do guests really see ghosts on this tour?

    We can never guarantee a supernatural encounter, but we will explain paranormal phenomena such as cold spots and residual hauntings. What we do guarantee: Our local connections and dedication to research means you'll get authentic accounts — in all their shocking detail.

  • Can I bring my pet?

    Service animals are welcome. However, for liability issues, please leave your furry friends at home if you don’t require their assistance.

  • Is this ghost tour kid-appropriate?

     While our tours do not contain anything too graphic or inappropriate, we find that kids that enjoy history have the best time. You know your children and that's left up to you. We do not recommend bringing children in strollers because sometimes that can be difficult with larger walking groups.

  • What if I'm late or cannot find my guide?

    We do our best to answer calls and emails as promptly as they are received. Please make sure to leave a voicemail with the city and tourtime.  We try to accommodate travel and weather issues, but our public tours cannot wait for more than 10 minutes. Reschedules are available if the date you are interested in is not sold out.

  • What is your cancellation policy?

    Because this is a limited capacity tour, all sales are final. If we cancel the tour because of weather or another event, we offer a full refund.

    We will do our best to accommodate rescheduling requests, but cannot guarantee changes because other tours and dates might be sold out. As a courtesy, we offer an add-on called Peek Protect which will refund your tickets if you have an emergency and cancel your reservations at least 24 hours prior to the tour beginning, but we cannot make any adjustments to those reservations, those are ordered through a third-party and any changes will need to be processed through them.
