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.

My 19 year old daughter and I decided to do a ghost hunting trip for a girls trip. We booked Haunted San Diego for our 1st night. Rebecca was our guide. Very fun and actually provides a lot of history on the places visited. You do visit 5 places, says you go inside 3, but one of the 3 is a graveyard, another is a hotel lobby, you get to go inside a former TB house, that was really cool. Not scary in any way, but fun and I would definitely recommend. Tour guide and driver were awesome, we had a great time.

Thanks 707. You should have gone into the bar area too and been on the stairs, sometimes that doesn't happen if the bar is overly crowded. We do debate on saying we go inside the graveyard, you do go in but it's not a building so.., then marketing wins and we leave it. I'll make a note of your thoughts on it for our site redesign. Glad you had a good time :) Will pass on the compliment. - Brian

It was interesting; tour guide stayed in character; kind of hokey - but fun. The description of the event indicated we would go into a couple of buildings - however, we only went into one and it was the last one.

Good day Karen - Glad you had a fun time and apologies our description was misleading. Since other may read your review I want to make it clear here. You should have gone to 5 and entered 3 locations. 1. The Horton Grand Hotel - we do a presentation in the Lobby and Bar Area though a couple of the haunted rooms are always reserved so we don't have access to those. 2. The Davis Horton house which you enter and is my favorite location on the tour, considered by the SD Ghost Hunters as the most currently active location in SD proper. 3. You should have enter the Old Town graveyard and heard the stories among the tombstones though that is not a building. The other two locations you go on the premise but do not enter, The Whaley House (has it's own tour and specializes just in that) and The Villa Montezuma (which we are working on entering soon). I take your feedback to heart and will make a task to go back in the description and make it clear, a hotel, a house and the graveyard. Hopefully that will fix it. Deep apologies for not being more clear for you. We have a satisfaction guarantee - feel free to reach out to us via our website if you'd like to take advantage of that. Appreciate it and you.

Each site had a colorful backstory and spooky tales to go along with it. At one site, we got to see a haunted artifact, a key, turn by itself and at another site we got to use EMF detection tools! Our guide, Rosalinda, was excellent! Good storytelling skills, jokes, and great delivery of the details. Tour wasn't "scary" but learned a lot about the spooky parts of San Diegan history which was great!
