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.

It was a great tour. Driver was extremely careful and a great driver. We enjoyed hearing the stories. Our tour guide knew a lot about the history. I wish it wasn’t as theatrical but had more scientific experience.

We are working on a day time history tour for early 2022 that will be perhaps a better experience for you, less theatrical.

This was our first ghost tour and it was absolutely awesome!! By far the best company for ghost tours! We saw other companies giving tours and they didn't look like they were having a very good time. Rosalinda was amazing..,it was informative, funny, and just scary enough! Thank you for the great memories!!

My daughter and friend and I went on the Haunted San Diego Ghost Tour last night and it was excellent. I appreciate that before the tour I was sent an email and a text with detailed information about where to meet in Old Town and what to expect. Our tour guide greeted us right away and was very friendly and nice. The Ghost Coach pulled up and our guide started out tour. Our group walked to the historic Whaley House in Old Town and we learned the history of the home and who lived there. The Ghost Coach (bus) then picked us up and drove us to Sherman Heights. The bus was comfortable and cutely decorated inside. The guide shared stories and photos with the guest on the drive down. We stopped off to see the Villa Montezuma a Queen Anne style mansion. This magnificent mansion was built in 1887 for the renowned musical composer Jesse Shepard by Spiritualist. This home is reported as haunted and is known for the owners conducting séances inside of it. Our next stop was to the legendary Horton Grand Hotel in San Diego's Gaslamp District and we got to go inside this beautiful hotel. This hotel was built in 1887 and is a National historic landmark that is thought to be haunted. After seeing inside of the beautiful Hotel we walked across the street to see the William Heath Davis House that is a historical house from 1850. Because of Covid pandemic closures, we could not go inside of the house but our guide had a key to the courtyard and she opened it up to tour us around the park area and told us the history of this house. The last stop of the Ghost tour was to the Cemetery of El Campo Santo located in the Old Town San Diego Historic Park which is a burial ground where many of San Diego's deceased were laid to rest for all eternity. The cemetery was built in 1849 and was used until 1880. We walked around the cemetery and heard some stories about it being haunted by the ghost of Yankee Jim Robinson who was hanged on the property of the Whaley House before it was constructed. Witnesses have recounted seeing other apparitions as well. We all enjoyed the tour and the humor and storytelling. I have lived in San Diego for a really long time and have visited all of these spots many times over the years, but I still really enjoyed learning new history and information about each from our educated guide. I highly recommend this tour!!
