It was a little dragged out the stories were good. But they should put on the information to bring a chair if needed off and some Powerade we didn't know we were going to be standing in one place for so long we thought it was going to be more walking. First time going to anything like this.

Really amazing tour!! Leon and Don were great and very knowledgeable about downtown El Paso, our tour was full of haunted buildings and things we never would have known if not for these guys. Highly recommend!

So me and my wife wanted to finally go on a ghost tour and we ended up trying them out first, but please please don't waste your time and money! There's a girl that makes the best sidekick that helps the led investigator, she seems to be the only one that sees all the activities and shadows!! Did I mention it's like 1000 degrees in there with mold all over the place!! You waste about 30 minutes hearing about all there gear and how it worked before, lucky us huh! If u feel like sweating afew pounds and wasting some time go check out the El Paso Ghost Tour out of De Soto Hotel, might meet a crackhead on the way in!!!

I went on the tour of sites downtown and the De Soto Hotel. I am pretty skeptical, but I enjoy ghost tours to hear the stores and learn about historical sites. I went with a date, because it seemed like something different and interesting. The guides were knowledgeable and good storytellers. At the De Soto, it was super creepy, I kept feeling like the young man standing next to me was inching really close, but then when I'd look over, he was several feet away? "Something" also brushed against, or grabbed my arm when there was nothing around me. I would recommend that they arrange a bathroom break since the tour is 2+ hours. Also, at the De Soto there are bins of moldy garbage, they should probably clean that out if people are going to be down there.

Was a fun experience and the in depth history tour of downtown El Paso was awesome. Typically why I love to do Ghost Tours. Was my first with EPGT. Do recommend it especially if you are simply wanting to do something unique. It is just something to do too. :) Guides were nice and very energetic. Do I wish the Soto hotel was accessible? Yes and NO. lol. Just curious. The Gardner Hotel is pretty neat to step into a time warp. The night I went, I really did not feel anything out of the ordinary or bad. I was pretty comfortable in the dark, did get a slight headache not knowing cause it was past my bed time or the "spirits" wanting to penetrate my mind! Couple of people claimed they saw shadows along the stairs. Bummer, I did not, and I sat closest to them. Anyhow it was more intimate and hands on than other tours so loved that part. May go again when they do another site to investigate!

Good history lesson, could use a water/bathroom break if going for more than 3 hours. Lots of walking/standing; take a chair/stool. On basement tour, my GF Alma, felt pressure on her jaw and flashlights (3) kept turning on around her. Voice box kept referring to the older lady Anna and my GF was the oldest female. No ghost sightings or encounters.

Be prepared. You start out with a good walk and history about El Paso, which was the real "wild west" you see in old movies. Gun fights, lawlessness, staging for the Oregon trail, famous gunslingers, etc. As the tour goes on, there is a realness about the spirit world that can be scary towards the end when you enter a basement. For those faint of heart you can just not go there and say good night. If you do go, you may see and experience the unexplainable.

Went to this tour this Friday 5/14/21. We had a great time the tour was very informative. Both guides were very friendly and gave us 10 star customer service. We especially liked how we got to do some paranormal investigation. This tour is WELL WORTH the money. We have paid 2x the amount for other tours in other areas and we were not as satisfied as we were with this tour. Please let us know if you all do any concordia cemetery tour we will be there!

One of the tour guides spent a lot of time talking in the background. She was very loud. It made it really hard to hear some of the stories when Leon was talking. And it ruined a good chunk of my night. Also when we went in the the actual hotel every 2 seconds she was either seeing, smelling or hearing things. Other than that it was a pretty fun time.

Guides had an excellent knowledge of the history in downtown El Paso. It was amazing to get information on the things I have driven or walked past a million times and had no knowledge even existed. We went to a new site at the Gateway Hotel and had a blast with the tour. I highly recommend the tour.
