SLO is a wonderful University City in California..... set in a 20 minute journey from the Pacific Ocean.... you are greeted by tree lined streets, a wonderful climate, great shops ( checkout "PASSPORT" ) and bars and restaurants ( checkout "Novo" ). There is a super 13 mile windy drive over the hills into the town..... 10/10......

Amy was great and super fun, super nice, she did a great job at explaining their stories and honoring/respecting the lives of the people we learned about during the tour.

Had a blast! Jessica was witty, knowledgeable and casual in her delivery of all the crazy facts about SLO’s history. She was kind enough to still take my husband and I out for the tour with just the two of us. It was fun to be in the center of all the bustling night life downtown while talking about its creepy past. I hope they expand the tour, I would love to take it again with even more added! Thanks so much Jessica!!

Jessica was amazing! You could really tell she cared about SLO and the history involving it along with bringing her own tales and her energy was amazing! Would definitely recommend doing this tour with Jessica, the history and the emotion brought to the tour really opened your eyes!

An hour walk with a tour guide judging two hundred years of San Luis Obispo history. It must be exhausting to not even be able to tell ghost stories without moralizing these fictional tales. Imagine a tour guide of Rome mocking the Romans for their lack of understanding of physics. It turns what should be a fun tour into an irritating hour of polemics.

My daughter and I had such a good time with Jessica. She came with all kinds of energy and personal stories. We enjoyed the historical accounts and Jessica was great at creating drama and making us want to know more. It also allowed us to notice parts of the town we hadn't previously paid much attention.
