One of the top Ghost Tours we have attended! - Forget the other tours, this is the one you would enjoy most AND get your steps in. I love how Vivian brought the town to life as if we went back to 1880's. The history, the stories and the ghosts were all there to greet us. Having private access to the Gaslamp Museum was the absolute hi-lite. Now THAT'S a haunted house! Save your money and avoid the other "Most Haunted House in America" in Old Town and take this walking tour instead. You will get more thrills and chills with this small group tour. If you are at all sensitive, you WILL feel something. The energy is palpable.

Very interesting and entertaining! Great walk around the Gaslamp Neighborhood. - We had such a fun tour with our guide, Kats. She was sooo interesting and filled us all with great stories and insights during the walk. While we didnt see any paranormal activity during our walk, Kats gave us tips as well as picture proof that the spirits are alive and well in The Gaslamp Area. Thank you to Kats!

A super fun night of spooky San Diego history - You cover a lot of ground in this tour! We started at America’s most haunted house, and also got to go inside two other gorgeous, very old and very haunted homes, a haunted hotel, and ended in a graveyard. Pete kept things moving well, was super knowledgeable and interesting, and kept it light with his entertaining old west demeanor. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary that night and had a great time!

Disappointing - Not enough history, not enough ghosts - The tour was unconventional but not in a good way. The ghosts were an afterthought and instead our tour guide was focused on making jokes. It was fun at first but at the end of the day there just wasn’t enough history nor enough ghosts. Most of her presentation consisted of ridiculous impressions and jokes followed by “it’s also super haunted”. Some on the tour clearly enjoyed it but it definitely wasn’t what we were looking for. Additionally, she wasn’t very good at displaying the photos she brought with her and she walked extremely fast, often beginning her speech before most of the group reached the site.
