Testimonals

I cannot say enough positive things about this tour. Even my skeptic husband enjoyed it immensely for the history, and getting to see these older buildings. We plan to go on this tour every October now!

The Haunted Craft Beer Walk was amazing. With the city of Alton exuding history at every turn, along with its position among the hills and on the incomparable Mississippi River, the setting for the tour is ideal. The clever bonus of pairing craft beer with each tour venue is a winner and enhanced by the thorough knowledge of the guides posted at each destination. Take this tour. You will not forget it!

Whether you're on it for the haunt or the history, Alton Odyssey Haunted Craft Beer Walk is hands down the best tour around (because what's better than BOO's and Booze)! The tour team was very helpful in explaining how to use the instruments while also giving us the time and space to explore. I was even able to catch reading on camera! Join one of the many tours Odyssey has to offer- you won't be disappointed!

Last fall my Fiance and I went on the Alton Odyssey Tours to experience all of the spooky features Alton, IL has to offer. We had an amazing time participating in the tour. The staff was so well informed and had many cool ghost gadgets for the customers to use while listening to the rich history that is haunting Alton. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get out and experience a different kind of date night or even a family affair. We can't wait to go again this year and for many years to come as the hosts keep adding more each year for the viewers experience! Thank you Alton Odyssey Tours.
