I took 2 tours. In the morning, a history tour, and in the evening, a ghost/mystery tour. The only negative I have is the owner, Steve (and my guide both times) chastised me for asking a question at the beginning of the tour, saying if he took the time to answer me, it would tack 2 minutes for every question and he assured me all my questions would be answered. Which they were not. It would have been more polite to say "I'll get to that later". Anyway, that answer makes no sense, because if you're gonna get to it anyway, then where do you get the additional 2 mins/question? Answer now, cut out the speech when you get to it, or again just say you'll get to it later.
Salida has an interesting history and plenty of it, and Steve seemed to cover a lot of it naturally. Both of the tours were relaxed, and yet much was covered. Both were good in their own ways. The information was not repeated.
As for the ghost tour, it was creepy but not scary and definitely not cheesy. Highly recommend both!
