Our guide was very knowledgeable, but we spent way too much time standing in haunted parking lots. I would have preferred standing in front of haunted buildings or actually in the buildings. Maybe there is a shortage of ghosts in Santa Barbara?

I loved this tour!! I was a sceptic before, but we saw many ghost encounters and learned so much about each ghost’s story and the history of the town. I would definitely do this again!!

We literally just left this tour with Julie and all I can say is.... WOW! So much fun, she's very knowledgeable, and even made a believer out of my skeptic family. We had so many spiritual experiences and the tour, and Julie was so informative and interesting. I'm already looking into booking another tour!
