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 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

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 have taken at least 4-5 different ghost tours in San Diego. This one has been the best tour we have taken by far! The purple bus with the coffin themed interior was a comfy and safe way to travel. However, the tour was taken to the outstanding level by our guide, Dante. He was a wealth of information and his theatrical story telling made for one fun and entertaining night! We will totally take this tour again (if Dante is there) and highly recommend it to everyone! The tour does fill up quickly as they only take a max of 14 people per tour, so book your reservations early! You won't be disappointed!

Staff at this tour company were nice, but we had a misunderstanding, I guess (I felt they might have been deliberately misleading) which resulted in me getting kind of stung financially and not having a great experience (value for the money), specifically with regard to the famous Whaley House museum. This is an expensive tour if you're on a budget and I wish I'd have known more beforehand or I wouldn't have done it. A few minutes of internet searching and a printer (or nicely viewable Smart phones) will give you at least half of this tour and save a lot of money by just you paying for the Whaley House itself (contacting the W.H. instead). Bring the same kind of good flashlight this tour uses and start at 1925 K Street (the Villa Montezuma), reading about the occupants who died there (see 2 sentences at bottom below). ~ ~ ~ Then go to the El Campo Santo cemetery right in the heart of Old Town, having read all about the various executions and history, noticing the tiny emblems embedded in the sidewalk where modern development encroached over actual gravesites, and then stroll a few dozen feet to the Whaley House with your $12 ticket purchase. ~ ~ ~ If you ask this company about the W.H., they will say they go to it. They literally mean "to" it, though, not "in" it. Big grammatical difference. They shine a flashlight on the outside of the brick walls and hold up pictures and tell of things that happened there. That, and the rest of the driving and cute dialogue is the $35 tour. --Okay, if you have $70 (or more than a hundred) to spend with your companions. ~ ~ ~ That Montezuma mansion is being sold for $1 with some interesting stipulations, and this tour guide does a nice trick with a "haunted key" in his hand (you can get that from Penguin Magic for less than $10). Your car, cab or Uber/Lyft will drive you the 5-miles, 7 minutes to the cemetery and nearby W.H. mentioned above, and you can have dinner at any of the nice eateries on those Old Town streets. ~ ~ ~ This is just my opinion and hindsight recommendation. I was on a tight budget and really kind of blew it with this tour-- didn't even get to go inside the most desirable place on the ghost-route (would have had to pay even MORE than $70). Their wording was subtle and tricky, and I got fooled. Heh. Live, learn, read more closely, DIY :)

Haunted San Diego was very entertaining. Our time with Victoria was perfect. She was informative and made the experience fun. We learned about San Diego's past and she added just enough spook to creep you out. Great experience with Victoria!
