The Experience

The tour starts in Orlando's historic district and moves through nine documented haunted locations, each with its own archive of paranormal reports and historical mystery. Your guide—a seasoned local storyteller—walks you past The Beacham, once a hub of nightlife now known for spectral patrons; the Old Orlando Railroad Depot and Strand Hotel, where visitors report phantom train whistles and shadowy figures of departed guests; and the Cheyenne Saloon, where people describe being watched by an unseen presence. The mile-long route also takes you to the Nicholson-Colyer Building, the Kress Building, the Grand Bohemian Hotel, the Rogers Building, the Phoenix Building, and the Global Convergence Statue—each stop a place where paranormal activity has been documented and discussed.

The guide shares intensely researched true stories tied to each site, moving from the Cheyenne Saloon's Wild West history to the Kress Building's art deco past and the Grand Bohemian Hotel's reports of shadowy figures in hallways. You stand outside these buildings—you don't enter private structures—but the guide's accounts of cold spots, unexplained noises, flickering lights, and ghostly apparitions create an atmosphere where the past feels present. The stories span from tragic rumrunners to enigmatic vaudeville performers, each unveiling a hidden piece of Orlando's dark legacy. All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible, and the tour is designed for walkers with at least moderate physical fitness.

The entire experience runs about an hour, and you'll need comfortable walking shoes since the route covers a mile on foot. Public transportation options are available nearby if you need to reach the starting point. Service animals are welcome, and infants or small children can ride in a pram or stroller. The guide speaks English and leads the tour with professional courtesy, grounding each story in documented accounts rather than speculation.
