Our tour ended up being just us and the tour guide, which ended up be pretty cool. It would have been great either way… but Jamie was so knowledgeable about the history of the town and we got to ask so many questions. We’ve lived in the area (but in the rest of the bay or Sacramento) and we learned so much we never knew. Jamie was a great narrator, had great tone talking about the spirits to emphasize the gravity of what happened in those areas, then solid and detailed with the history. I would take more tours to pick Jamie’s mind about San Francisco alone. Also as far as the spirits go, my neck hurt the entire time (I thought it was bc I biffed on a scooter) but the second the tour was over & we ent our separate ways, the neck pain stopped. Take the tour to find out the significance of that… Thank you Haunt Ghost tour. It was a wonder and sobering experience.. Jamie you’re awesome, thank you. Hopefully we catch you again on another tour! Like 10 stars

A-lot of interesting facts about the buildings and china town and the ghost stories were all interesting with true facts behind them. We carried a EMF and it went off a few time ! Very cool !

My two kids and I were on Jamie’s Ghost Hunt Tour last night. Jamie was an entertaining tour guide - answered all the questions my kids asked. He was respectful of the guests (and the ghosts), and knew a lot of cool stories about SF Chinatown's spooky history/folklore. Would recommend this for a fun night out.

Been in SF since 1992 and learned some really cool fascinating facts. My 15 year old son who was making fun that we were doing a tourist attraction but he ended up having a great time. It took you back in time in SF. The stories were so interesting. The tour guide did a great job keeping it lively. Loved the ghost hunting tools provided and used. Highly recommend this to learn about SF history and explore some of the oldest streets here.

Aliya was full of energy and knowledgeable about the area and its history. We (family of 3) had a great time . Would recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see SF from a different perspective 😊

Fun walking tour whether you're a "believer" or not. Just hearing about the history of San Francisco is interesting. Aliya was a great guide.
