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 :)
