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.

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.

The history of the places visited was very interesting and our guide Archie certainly had a flare for the dramatic which only added to the entertainment factor. If you are actually interested in ghosts though, be advised that this is presented with lots of laughs and in a 'jokey-non-serious' kind of way, so maybe not for those pursuing a supernatural experience. FYI - I did take a photo that included some unusual elements that were not visibly present on the tour, but did appear through my camera footage.

Thanks Tina, glad to hear you caught something unusual on your camera :) Yes, for those reading this. Do know we are a more theatrical type of experience then the serious tours I have been on. We are inspired by cheesy horror/action movies of the 80s and 90s (think Evil Dead 2/3, Scream and Arnold S one liners) and we do bring that comedy in. The thought behind it is to play with all emotions, not just the spooky side, as laughter and unease are cousins for some. Though it is not for everyone. Thanks for bringing the humor aspect up Tina. Deep gratitude.

Don't really get all the glowing reviews. It was a bit dull.The host, Archie was very laid back, stood around talking to some guests while others were not even checked in. Then advised 3 women to use the restrooms at 9pm when the tour should have been heading out. Much of the tour was boring or silly especially the ending. The cemetery was a non starter. Waste of time. Not super fun. Maybe we caught him on a low energy night.

Thanks Coppert. You might have caught him on an off night. In fact, looking at this week of November, we didn't not get good reviews in general. The spirits must not have been with us and Archie normally is very well received. Off nights can and do happen all, it's not often but it does. Apologies for that. If you ever feel you deserve a refund please reach out to us via our website. We don't want you to pay for something you don't enjoy. Thanks again.

My wife and I took the tour with Archie on November 4th. He was entertaining, the jokes were funny, the stories were informative and it was a fun way to spend the evening. I learned a lot, took some great pictures, and was very entertained.
