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

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.

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.

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.

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.

On a whim, my daughter decided she wanted to take a haunted tour of San Diego, mind you, I had begged for years for her to go with me, so I was elated! The price of the tour was reasonable by comparison to other tours I had taken, the bus was clean and air conditioned, which was greatly helpful as San Diego was incredibly hot and muggy Labor Day weekend. The tour never lagged, our tour guide Dante kept us entertained with stories of history and ghostly nature. The sites we had toured were ones in which we had never even heard of! Being guests of San Diego on probably more than 50 times over the past 10 years, we had never even seen these places and it was amazing to be touring something we had not seen in previous visits. I would have liked to go into all the places we visited, but understanding that they are either closed for renovations/closed for business hours, etc. it was understandable that we could not enter Villa Montezuma or Whaley House. So I was not to upset about that, because we did enter two other venues, and quite enjoyed those sites. Horton Grand Hotel was an amazing site with fantastic history and as a avid Wyatt Earp lover, I was especially excited to visit there. The most exciting site was the visit to the former hospital, where some guests on the tour encountered ghostly activity with the meters provided on the tour. That was so fun! Ending the tour at the grave yard was a perfect example of excellent planning! The ghost droppings were a great touch and we couldn't have been happier with our tour. Thank you Dante!

I had gone on a similar tour years ago when I was in SD and I loved it, but this wasn't anything special. Our guide was good and entertaining enough but the content of the tour just wasn't great. You start off walking to (and don't go in) the Whaley house where scary stories are told about its haunted past. Unfortunately, we had just gone to the Whaley house museum and many of the stories from the tour didn't match those from the museum. Now maybe the tour was right but I tend to believe the facts from the museum. I can forgive specifics like the ages of some of the people in the stories but the fact that one ghosts whom the tour claimed died at the house didn't actually die at the house made me suspicious the rest of the night. You next board a bus and travel to the Villa Montezuma. There are more stories and a magic trick involving a "haunted key". Now when I went on the ghost tour before we were able to go inside the house. I guess it has been closed as a museum due to funding issues so we had to stand on the sidewalk outside in a sketchy neighborhood. Watching the individuals at the liquor store across the street took me out of the mindset of ghosts. The next destination is in the gaslamp quarter of SD to a hotel. We went inside the lobby and heard the tales, no complaints. Next was to the William Davis. We were able to go inside and hear some tales of this creepy house with some nice lighting added for effect. A short "ghost hunt" followed with electro-magnetic readers that pick up ghost energy, apparently. This was the highlight of the tour. Back to the bus and back to old town hearing more tales enroute. You end the night at the El Campo cemetery and hear more stories related to the Whaleys. Overall, it was a decent tour of San Diego that happened to have a few ghost stories thrown in. Next time I will probably just get a book about the haunted spots in SD and take a self guided tour. FYI, the William Heath Davis house is a museum and can be visited during regular business hours.

Victoria was our 'ghost host' for the tour my 12 year old daughter and I took in February. Even if you put all the 'ghost stuff' aside, the tour was rich with history and some great laughs. Highly entertaining, interesting and we caught some serious ghost activity. So much so, that my daughter begged me to return to a couple of the places the next day. My daughter photographed several 'orbs' at the hotel (the name fails me at the moment) in the Gaslamp District and I had caught some orbs at the William Heath Davis House. Coll stuff! The whole tour was a ton of fun and for the money, what a unique experience.
