My favorite way to experience a new city - Mina was an amazing tour guide! We learned so much and had so much fun experiencing San Diego in this way. She was super knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and even gave us tips for our own adventures after the tour. 10/10 would recommend this tour and Mina especially!!

Had a great time! - Great tour. We had Mina as our guide and she was fantastic. Very entertaining and interesting and appropriate for our family (youngest is six). Really enjoyed it and highly recommend!

I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghosts - Our tour guide was incredibly personable and we learned a lot about the history of Old Town. Unfortunately, we did not see any specters and I’m still not convinced they exist. My husband also wished there were more ghosts on the tour. It was a great evening out and we recommend it.

Request Ken for your tour - It is a lite walking tour but packed with an unbelievable amount of history. Our tour guide Ken is a San Diego local who is very passionate and loves the history. I will never be able to look at Old Town San Diego the same way again which is a great thing. Ken really left us with a sense of appreciation and somewhat of a sadness for the hidden real life experiences that people walk past but remain unaware of.

Meh. - This was just okay... it was only our family on the tour which was super cool but the guide seemed a little unsure of what she wanted to say at most places. We finished the night at a graveyard and the guide snapped at my daughter about how she "spoke" to a ghost, which made my daughter very embarrassed and clam up (in reality the guide wasn't paying enough attention to realize we were all abiding by her arbitrary rules, she just interrupted my daughter before hearing her whole question). I was disappointed in how the guide treated her because this whole experience was meant to be special for my daughter and the night was ruined.

Not What I Expected - We didn’t go to hardly any of the buildings and instead stayed way back and shown pictures of the actual building. Instead the guide would point at the building with a laser light. It wasn’t what I thought it was going to be.

Save your money - Never been on a “haunted” tour and this wasn’t really one either. A walking history lesson of how cheap the city was bought, brothers and madams. Really nothing ghostly about it. Several groups walked away from the tour as it was that uneventful.

Disappointed - About 1.5 hours before the tour that we planned, booked and paid for, we were notified that the tour was canceled because not enough people booked the tour. Then I have to ask TripAdvisor for a refund, the tour won’t do refunds. Super disappointing.
