My partner and I have lived in Madison for over 17 years, but somehow we only recently discovered American Ghost Walks. We booked it as a last-minute date night and ended up getting tickets for the very first walk of the 2026 season. It turned into such a fun and memorable evening. Even though we’ve walked these downtown streets countless times, hearing the history mixed with local oral stories gave us a whole new appreciation for some of Madison’s most recognizable spots. Our guide, Lisa, was fantastic. We had a smaller group, but she kept the energy high, was genuinely funny, and kept everyone engaged the entire time. The route itself makes for a great evening stroll, with beautiful views of the Capitol as the sun goes down. To top it all off, Lisa joined us for a drink after the tour wrapped up. We had a great conversation, and she even convinced us to head to New Orleans for our upcoming wedding anniversary. If you’re looking for a great date night idea or just want a unique look at local history, this is definitely worth doing. Huge thanks to Lisa for kicking off the season so well!

I try to always go on ghost tours when visiting new cities as a way to learn interesting history, spooky stories, and see the city. The Madison tour didn’t disappoint! Lisa was an incredible guide! Not only did we learn a lot of interesting spooky stories and history in Madison, but we learned more about state history and some of the best local cafes and restaurants! Highly recommend doing the Capital tour with American Ghost Walks while in Madison!

Our group of 3 Ghost Hunters had an exceptional experience with our tour guide Lisa. The American Ghost Walk Tour in Madison , Wi, was very informational, scary , but also funny at times. Our guide , Lisa, was full of interesting stories, very knowledgeable, but also fun and personable. We all would highly recommend this tour with Lisa. Sincerely, C Lively and Co.

If you visit Madison, this is a must see! Our tour guide, Maddie, was the best! We walked the streets, learning the rich history of some of the city's establishments, while Maddie highlighted the sordid details. She was able to answer all of our questions (i.e. how did they restore a statue when the head could not be found?). My advice: book this tour on a Friday (if you can), then tour the Madison capitol (free!), have a nice dinner, then meet up for the tour at 7:30 pm. Awesome times!
