Fantastic History/Ghost Tour! - Julie was amazing!! We were her first 4 pm tour and it was fantastic! My mom and I had never been to Santa Barbara and it was wonderful learning about the history of this beautiful town. Julie was very knowledgeable and the ghost stories were fascinating! Highly recommend!

Ghost Stories with an Amazing Storyteller (Plus, there's wine!) - We visited our daughter, who had recently moved to Santa Barbara. She wanted to go on a ghost tour, so we let her choose which one. We couldn't have been more delighted than to do a combo wine tasting and ghost walking tour. Our host, Miss Julie, was superb in her knowledge of the city and in her telling of 'friendly ghost' stories. The details she shares brings the characters to life as we walked through the city, taking in landmarks and sights and sounds where these people once lived and walked these same streets. The tour started with a sit down wine tasting at a very nice location. Miss Julie shared a sweet gift bag with each of us that contained some candy and trinkets, a nice touch and unexpected surprise. We also got to keep a picture of a friendly ghost that she would describe and tell us about in detail. We loved the tour. We felt a connection with Miss Julie and didn't want the evening to end! We highly recommend signing up for one of her tours!

Incredible Ghost Tour and History! - Julie was incredible with the history of Santa Barbara and was so detailed with the ghost’s stories as well. We felt very safe even though we were listening to ghost stories at night! The gift bags were such a nice touch, and we were invited back for a time travel tour that we will definitely be back for. My group of 3 definitely felt like we saw, smelled, or experienced something supernatural along the tour and talked about it for days after the tour. I would highly recommend taking any of Julie’s tours and you will love it!

Fantastic! - Julie's tour was fantastic! I would recommend for out of towners but also locals. Being a local it was exciting to hear about all the ghosts in SB but also to learn so much about the historical sites we visited. Julie is so knowledgeable about everything she talked about and has a real passion for SB history and of course ghosts! It was so much fun. I've been on other tours like this in bigger cities and this was by far the best experience I have had. I will definitely be doing it again, especially when friends or family visit.
