Phoenix Mystery & Mayhem Tour: Monsters, Mobsters & Legends
Murder, mobsters, and the dark side of Phoenix history
What to Expect
This is the side of Phoenix most tours skip.
Jails, Rails & Grave Tales takes you through the Warehouse District, past former jails, rail lines, and overlooked corners tied to crime, confinement, and the city’s rougher history. These are the real locations where the stories happened — the arrests, the scandals, the tragedy, and the kind of history Phoenix doesn’t exactly put on a postcard.
You’ll hear the darker stories behind the buildings, streets, and people connected to this part of downtown — from Winnie Ruth Judd to Jodi Arias, mobsters, old jail cells, railways, and the strange events that still leave a mark.
The tour ends at the Moxy Phoenix Downtown, where guests receive 10% off menu items after the tour.
If you want something grittier, more local, and very different from the usual downtown experience, this is it.
