Knowledgeable staff. Lots of stuff to look at. Unfortunately no ghosts to be seen. Probably because it was day time

This tour was so fun & our guide Oakley was amazing. We learned alot of history of the Whaley family & San Diego. We went a 6:40pm, so it wasn’t too dark for the kids.

I travel the world for work and always take ghost and cryptid tours when I can. I booked a tour of the Whaley house while staying in old town. Unfortunately I didn’t see any spirits that night but the guide I had (clementine) is possibly the best ghost tour guide I have ever had. Will definitely tour again hoping to experience more and will request clementine again if possible
