Top notch guide - Christian is a wonderful guide in the world of the history not spoken of by other San Francisco residents. He made the hour and a half tour fly by with the strange and unique stories. Very enjoyable.

A Ghostly History Lesson - Had an amazing experience tonight with my friend. It was a last minute event because I wanted to go out of our norm of our usual visit. Christian was hilarious and kept us entertained. Did we experience anything? Nope but that's okay because I mainly did it for the spooky history lesson, which I love. Highly recommend if you are staying near by.

Unreal Excellence (It was so good!) - Delightful! The ratios of walking to storytelling were in a really nice equilibrium. Our guide was hilarious and tremendously thoughtful for older group members who needed a slightly slower pace ascending San Francisco's hills. Phenomenal value for money and a well-curated collection of tales to share. Would absolutely recommend!

Great way to learn about the neighborhood- and a few of its ghosts - This was a great tour! I just live down the street, but it took me years to finally sign up and go for it. I’m so glad that I did! I learned a lot about the neighborhood and some interesting details about the city’s history as well as some of the spooky stuff. Christian is an absolute treasure chest of knowledge, so be ready to ask him your particular questions, because he prepares the basics for the tour (never knowing what the demographic make up of the group be). Wear your comfy walking shoes - there are hills (“moderate” to locals, hella steep if you’re from the flatlands).

Best walking tour with a wonderful & knowledgable tour guide - enjoyable for skeptics too! - This is the best ghost hunt walking tour I’ve gone on & I’ve gone to several across major cities! The reviews raving about Christian as a tour guide were 1000% correct & so glad I picked this one over the others! He clearly has done his research & knows extensive history about the area by heart, even having gotten to know local residents & business owners to take their ghostly experiences into account. He keeps up with changes, literature, news reports, & locals discoveries of this section of the city relevant to the tour, keeping it fresh & accurate. He is all in with his attire, hat, & lantern, further transporting you into the stories. My skeptic fiancé had a great time as well, so this truly is for everyone! Even if some in your group may not be as into ghost hunting as others you get to see & learn about the beautiful buildings along the way, giving you more of the SF experience. 🖤🖤🖤 👻
