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)

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.

We had a great time and it was a fun experience. Our host was punny and entertaining 😃 The tour taught us about the history of the town and some fun facts we’d never know otherwise. Thank you

The hostess made it fun, but not exceptional by any means. Some of the stories were not accurate but still enjoyable for entertainment. I was a little more interested in the history. I was just hoping it was a little more factual. I'm not unhappy about going on this tour, it was still fun.

Thanks for bringing this up Tonya. We do our best to be as historically accurate as possible yet history is a bit slippery. Did you know that the Whaley House changed a bunch of it historical stories about a year ago? The Horton house has revised their history as well. We've heard disagreements between the experts who cover the Horton Grand about what happened there and the Villa has modified it's stories over time. Some of these updates have been pretty significant and we have seen many over the years. When we learn the "new or currently true", stories we update our script. We do this when ever we hear a new truism. Yes there is an entertainment aspect as well which we mention in our introduction to the tour. However, please know that to our core stories we try our best to be "accurate" as possible given the information we get from the historians. If you have a source with the accurate stories please reach out to us, we strive to be a factual as possible. Thanks Tonya. Appreciate it and you!
