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.

We did this tour yesterday. It was completely what we expected, very cheesy and lighthearted. You are driven around in a Halloween-themed bus as you visit various sites. It was a bit misleading as the disclaimer said you won't be going into all the haunted sites; in reality you only get to go inside one! The highlight was going into one of the haunted houses in Gaslamp, and visiting a supposedly haunted Victorian mansion from the outside. It was sort of expensive for what we got, at $35/person. The jokes of our host were cheesy to the point of being painful, but she was a good sport about it. She was dressed up in Victorian garb, however half the time she was in character and half the time she wasn't. The bus driver had a soundtrack that she used half-heartedly and not on cue. The tour itself is pretty informative, but reflecting back on it there were a lot of liberties taken, such as claiming that the descendants of a ghost took the tour a few weeks ago and gave them a haunted key, and then demonstrating how it was haunted. The tour takes you to the Gaslamp District. On a Saturday night, this was really raucous. One reveler even came into the mansion courtyard we were visiting and our host had to kick him out. I kept thinking of our poor host, who seemed to be a young 20 something woman, and whether it was even safe for her to constantly be doing night tours. There was no second staff person supervising or backing her up that I could see. I say this tour isn't 100% professional seeming because of our host getting in and out of character, the lacklustre soundtrack and also that even though they tell you to be 15 minutes early or else they'll leave without you, our host was 15 minutes late! All in all though, the tour was pretty fun, informative and a good way to spend 2 hours if you don't mind the cheese.

My frustrated mood after running the parking gauntlet of Old Town San Diego was quickly re-animated after debarking on the Haunted San Diego Tour! This tour itself was very interesting. I learned a lot about some of San Diego's most haunted locations and was entertained the whole way through. Victoria was an awesome tour guide. Her witty humor kept our group in a lively mood, not to mention her outfit was on point. Although this tour dealt with some touchy topics such as death (obviously) I would recommend it even for the easily scared. In fact that might make it a little more fun!

My son is crazy about ghosts and ghost stories. We do haunted tours everywhere we travel, and I think this is our favorite so far. In fact, this was the second time we took the tour with Haunted San Diego. The stories were the same, but the experience was once again fun, educational and a little spooky! The haunted bus lets you travel to see a few haunted sites outside of Old Town, and it is well worth the short drive.
