Additional Info
  • Service animals allowed
  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Our Haunted Guided Tour is small and intimate. We have only 14 seats available per tour. As such we require at least 8 people/ghost hunter in our to run. If for some reason it looks like the tour will not go (this is rare but does occasionally happen), we will personally call you with a tour update 2-3 hours before your tour is set to go. If your tour does not go, again very rare, we will refund you or move you to another date. Feel free to call (619.255.6170) us or email us with any questions or if you just want an update on how many have signed up so far. If we don't pick up immediately we will get back to you shortly.
  • Please make sure to be at the plaza 15 minutes before you tour embarks. We operate out of and pick you up from Plaza Guanajuato | 2415 San Diego Ave, San Diego, CA 92110. It is the plaza across the street and down a store front from the Old Town Graveyard (El Campo Santo Graveyard official name). You'll see our purple bus.
  • Please make sure to use the bathroom before your tour. You will be going to historic locations which have no bathroom access, and your party definitely should use the bathroom before joining us. Bathrooms can be found in the neighboring restaurants and businesses. There is a public restroom at the back of Cafe Coyote a block away. Just walk to the very back of their plaza.
  • If you are driving, please show up early to get parking.
  • Service animals are allowed provided they are small and do not disturb the other attendees. If you have a larger animal like a German Sheppard you would need to purchase an additional seat and may not be able to enter some of the locations as there are antique and very valuable, fragile historic artifacts in them.
What To Expect
1
Gaslamp Museum at the Davis-Horton House
You will enter the house that the San Diego Ghost Hunters, tell us is currently the "most active", location in SD. Even more active then the more famous ones. Entry is included! This is the house where people would come to die as it was a hospital of sorts with a dramatic history. Our guests have experienced being pushed around the house with a hand on their back when there is no one behind them and catching mysterious shapes on camera, lots of orbs here as well. Bring your camera! While we can't employ ghost or guarantee something will happen, things can and will occur we just don't know when.
2
Villa Montezuma Museum
You will go on the premise of the Villa, a museum that is closed at night. But don't be fooled, if you read our reviews, this location is one of many people's top, our presentation there is very well received and plus lots of eerie things have been captured by our guest lens. You will see this location, which is haunted by 2 people who once lived there. Strangely enough, they say, it is the first person to live in the house and the last to live in the Villa Montezuma. Perhaps you will hear music from beyond or see a haunted artifact move.
3
Whaley House Museum
You will go on the premises of the Whaley House. Find out how it all began with Yankee Jim and it's other doomed occupants. Get the, for lack of a better word, "Greatest Hits" tales at this location.
4
El Campo Santo Cemetery
What is a haunted tour without a graveyard? You will enter this location and be told the stories among the tombstones. Back to where it all began. Old Town San Diego, El Campo Santo Cemetery has a long history of the macabre. Ghosts there are disturbed as their burial grounds have been disturbed many times. Strange figures still appear seemingly to glow and float above the ground.

Our tour guide was very engaging and funny. I was impressed with all the knowledge and facts she knew about the places. I just wish we could have gone into more sights, even though just standing outside them was kinda creepy in itself. It was a perfect October night for someone who likes to be a little creeped out but not completely terrified. I would definitely recommend it to those who like a cool, entertaining history lesson on the darker parts of San Diego .

My teen son and I went on this tour. It was our first experience of a ghost tour so I had nothing to compare it to. Our guide Dante was awesome, he was very theatrical and a great story teller. The bus arrived late due to traffic but they apologized and he made a point of making everyone feel welcome. I was disappointed that we looked from the pavement at most locations while he told us about them, I would've liked a bit spookier and more access. The house we did have access to was great - felt special having a key to get in after hours and look around. Plenty of photo opportunities. Although when the tour finished I felt disappointed at not having felt any scary moments and would've liked another story or two at the final location - graveyard. However the best time was after the tour when my son and I went back to the hotel and looked at our photos - to my delight we had captured some very cool photos which look like ghosts and orbs. Villa Montezuma was dark, deserted and a gorgeous building. My photo was amazing of what looked like a ghost or more at the window. I'll put it on their face book page. Also a possible ghost in the trees at William Heath Davis house. The more I told my husband about it today the more I realised it was an informative experience, details about the Whaley house etc. Our guide never stopped talking. He certainly did a good job. I felt it was a bit expensive, just due to lack of access to the buildings in general. Otherwise good.

Had a good time on this tour. We learned a lot about some of the history of San Diego. The haunted stories were also interesting. Victoria is a very nice lady and a great story teller. We will consider doing this again on our next visit.
