We loved our tour with Julie! She was as excited as we were to see and learn more about all the neat places that have great stories. We each had a unique experience and enjoyed the entire tour! Thank you Julie! The Chicago Gals

What a fun ghost tour...the four of you had not had paranormal experiences the past and throughout your tour we all had both mystical sights and sounds!

The tour was so much fun. Walking around Santa Barbara and hearing the historical stories was really cool. So many interesting stories. Natalie, our guide, was terrific. She made sure everyone was included and shared amazing stories. I like that they keep the tours small. It just made for a better experience. On my tour, I was fortunate enough to get my first EVER pic with a spirit and you can actually see a face when zoomed in!!

Thank you for such a great review. Natalie was excited to tell me about your tour and then seeing the photo you took when you sent it to us was amazing! There must be a reason that this happened. Soooo amazing!

What a very enjoyable evening! These stories all begin with some aspect of the history of the area (which was my primary interest) and this then morphed into the particular story of the associated ghost. The period pieces worn were lovely, the ambiance of the tour was most pleasant, and in general, I enjoyed my tour tremendously. I recommend this. It is family friendly as well!
