What fun!! We were a little undecided about it this-especially since we couldn’t decide if the Ghost Tour would be appropriate for the kids but we gave it a try and so glad we did! We had such a great time! The tour guide, Jaime, introduced himself and gave us all magnetic detectors in search for ghosts. We had a great time, lots of laughs and a little history in between. Kids loved it! Do it!!

I love city walking tours. This one offered a unique look and perspective of SF. We used to live here years ago, and we went with a couple who live here now. We all learned something, saw sights we had never seen before and had fun. Enjoyed the stories of when SF was the Barbary Coast. Jamie, our guide, was fun and informative.

Thanks Jamie! Jamie was our tour guide & he was excellent. Very informative and took his time to guide us throughout S.F. Though we didn't see any ghosts we did get a few warm to hot readings on our (energy detector provided by Jamie) & a few light posts flickering.

Fun night with interesting facts about SF history. Tour guide was respectful to the real tragedies behind the ghost stories that were brought to light.

We learned about San Francisco’s seedy underbelly, from the earthquake to the mob hits, to the “moving the gravestones and not the bodies” It was very interesting just from a historic point of view but when you put add in a couple 12&13yo daughters who are very into ghost hunting, you get a wonderful experience fun for the whole family. I recommend tipping in advance, and don’t park at the lot that closes at 9 because I started stressing we wouldn’t get back in time. Us parents and our kids really enjoyed the EMF readers, and trying to catch ghosts on our pictures. There were a few creepy parts, and I enjoyed seeing the pictures along the tour of the people and places they were talking about. Luckily our tour didn’t get any rain. They did some local food recommendations as well! Thanks Jamie for the great tour. It was very fun, would recommend.

The tour guide was a well read historian who was fun and engaging. We used devices to track electromagnetic activity of spirits and learned the history of several old haunted buildings.
