Vampire Tour of San Francisco

Overview

The Vampire Tour of San Francisco is a walking tour of Nob Hill, conducted by Mina Harker from "Dracula." The script contains approximately 85% true San Francisco history with fun vampire lore and humor mixed in. The tour is not gory or frightening, so it is suitable for all ages. Learn many fun and some surprising facts about San Francisco’s history and how vampires played an important role in that history. The walk is very easy, with no climbing up and down hills, and is wheelchair friendly. The tour is conducted on the first Saturday of each month from May through October, and on Halloween night, starting at 8:00 pm. Nob Hill can get very chilly at night, so please dress warm. There will be a costume contest on Halloween night. Those who do not dress up will help me judge those who do. There will be some very cool prizes!

The eternal hostess had a wonderful way of weaving fact with fiction (or is it just fact?), and was just a charming person overall. She's a wonderful storyteller and made the experience so much fun. The little raffle, candy, and the ambience of her candelabra were lovely little touches. We'd wholeheartedly recommend checking this out, spooky season or not!

We had an incredible time on this Vampire Tour! Lots of great history around Nob Hill, and our host with the most Mina put on quite the show. She also did a raffle, had candy, and knew how to really keep a crowd of 15+ engaged for hours. We had a wonderful time - if you're looking for one of the most unique SF tours around, this is the one.
