Haunted San Diego Ghost Tour

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.

Our roughly 2-hour bus and light walking tour brings San Diego history alive… one ghost story at a time. Be prepared for a combination of authentic history, genuine creepy moments, and cheesy joke laughs to lighten the mood. Be ready to experience an array of emotions and learn about the dark side of SD as well.

Join us on our tour, and you’ll experience:

Our proof that ghosts exist
Captivating history told in a theatrical way
Professional dramatic storytellers in costume
The ghost coach, our coffin/theater on wheels
Hauntings events sometimes happen on tour (it's rare but it does happen)

It's time to sign up and get spooky!

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.

Parking in the area the tour was to start was so bad we could not find a spot within six blocks of the tour starting point. We received a notice as we were giving up finding a spot that the tour was departing at 6:45 NOT 7:00 as reserved. They were quick to point out NO REFUNDS even though they changed the start time. I don’t know if the tour was good or not because we never got to go on it and are out our money. If you plan on going on this tour get there two hours early so you can find parking and hike to starting point and account for a last minute schedule change from the tour company. Sorry we missed the tour….

Good day Linden - We had a schedule change that night and had to start at 6:45. This allowed us to go inside a location we might not have if leaving at 7. I personally called and left you a voicemail at 5:06 pm asked if you could make that time. I also had my Booking system send a text at 4:25 pm asking if you could make that time. I also sent a message to you via the Viator Supplier center at 4:27 pm asking if you could make that new time. Our host also called you before the tour to see where you were, but you did not pick up. A bit later she did get you on text and you said you already left not even giving her a chance to get you on board. I also gave you parking strategies in the Viator communication and the text with the parking map and everything. We repeat show up early for parking in all our communications. I can't control parking. "Parking? Go early to get a free spot; it can be competitive. Seriously. Give extra time for parking. Free parking map: https://hauntedsandiegotours.com/images/parking.jpg" I have records of all this. This review breaks my heart. It truly does... I tried every possible method to get a hold of you well before the tour and would have totally refunded you if you said you couldn't make it. Gone over parking or whatever we could have to assist you. This feels so unfair and truly hurts.

Our host Rosalinda was fantastic! She made it very fun and interactive. The information provided at each stop kept us very engaged. Not scary at all!!!

Excellent J, I will pass on the compliment. Yep, not scary we call it spooky. You go to places real things happen and some of those have a vibe some people feel, but not jump scares or any of that. At one point we tried having a part where soemone dresssed in a camo outfit jumped out at the group, bad idea. One lady almost had a heart attack. After that we went all genuine. I went a bit long winded there.., thanks J :)
