Overview

Go inside!! We Are the Only Tour Entering Locations! Covid willing.
On our OFFICIAL Haunted San Diego Ghost Tour, you will hear spine-tingling stories about real people, history, folklore, and the ghosts that make San Diego one of the most haunted cities in the west.

We are the #1 highest reviewed SD ghost tour on TripAdvisor, Yelp, Google and Facebook.

Intimate Tour with Limited Seats

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

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.

The host, Dante, is very funny and knows his history. There is a hotel that we stopped at where I totally started to feel sick. I thought it was something I ate but I started to feel just fine as soon as we left the hotel. Apparently, that's what happens to people when they get haunted by a ghost or something. I think that's what happened to me.

Thanks Frank, that can be a response to the energy. Really it is different for each person. Feeling it at the hotel happens but is really rare, most people have a reaction at the Davis Horton House. You might be more sensitive though. Thanks for the details :)

It was a cold and blustery night... (by Southern California standards anyway), the perfect ambiance for such a stroll. We arrived quite early to grab coffee (and make a wise stop at the loo, as we knew there would be no opportunity to do so once we started). We were the first guests to arrive, but our Ghost Host Cassius Kennedy was already in place and easy to recognize in his Wyatt Earp-like getup (the old gunslinger, in fact, came up during the tour). Cassius warned us he'd be moving quickly, and he wasn't kidding. But this was so he would be able to get in all the good stuff in just over 2 hours. As a historian and long-time Tour Guide in Rome, I admit that my expectations were high. Cassius easily exceeded them. He mastered the substance and nailed the style. Attentive to his group of about a dozen people, we were all captivated in the very first moments. Informative, funny, quick, responsive and fully engaged with us, he even stayed for quite some time after the tour was over to answer questions and listen to some spooky stories shared by members of the group. Do this tour, and do it with Cassius Kennedy if you can.

Thanks W9! This review is for our Gaslamp Walking Ghost Tour which Cassius does. I really appreciate your writing style and the way you formatted your review plus your hosting experience. I will pass this on to Cassius - total appreciation!

Some of the information was interesting. It’s mostly a guided tour of sites in the city. The jokes are melodramatic but the guide was fully invested and did his job well

Good day Rich. Is the No ghosts the meat of the average review? If you read our reviews (particularly on Yelp, people leave more details there, I don't know why). You'll read stories of people experiencing events on our tour. Anyone reading this, please know that those are rare. We can't hire or employ ghosts. I feel bad when someone takes the tour expecting a ghost, and it doesn't happen. Things do happen but again, rare. We just can't control that and the when. Sorry, they didn't happen for you that night. I see you in the system, and you went on Al's tour - I will pass on the compliment. Thanks.
