OUR HISTORIC TOUR IS AN EXPERIENCE YOU'LL NEVER FORGET.


JOIN US, WE’VE BEEN DYING TO MEET YOU…


OUR HAUNTED SAN DIEGO LOCATIONS - YOU WILL VISIT

You will enter 3/5 locations and go on the premise of them all.

Our haunted ghost tour will take you on our Ghost Bus – starting at San Diego’s
haunted Old Town, then on the bus to the Sherman Heights / Golden Hill
community, next is San Diego’s haunted Gaslamp District / Downtown area and
finally returning to the El Campo Santo Cemetery in Old Town. Go beyond just Old
Town tonight! (most of our competitors only do Old Town and maybe a park above
Old Town).

CLICK HERE & LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR HAUNTED LOCATIONS.


HAUNTED SAN DIEGO LOCATIONS - 3 HOMES 1 HOTEL 1 GRAVEYARD

Maybe you’ve seen these on TV. They've all been there. Time for the real deal?
Enter the premise of the Whaley House, experience the Villa Montezuma yard,
enter the Horton Grand Hotel, enter the Davis Horton House and finally enter the
El Campo Santo Cemetery. Disembark at each location for an up close and personal
frightful experience!


HAUNTED SAN DIEGO GHOST COACH

Climb aboard our custom Haunted San Diego Ghost Bus if you dare. The inside is
decorated like a coffin and we can seat 14 hunters plus the driver and host. We
like to keep it intimate. The host will be telling you stories and entertaining
you during your travels on board.


THE WHALEY HOUSE

You will see the place several sources (The Travel Channel's America's Most
Haunted, Life Magazine, and Time Magazine) claim is the most haunted house in
the United States. Find out how it all began with Yankee Jim and it's other
doomed occupants.


THE VILLA MONTEZUMA

You will see this location which is haunted by 2 people who once lived there.
Strangely enough they say, it is the first person to live in the house and the
last to live in the Villa Montezuma. Perhaps you yourself will hear music from
beyond or see a haunted artifact move.


DAVIS-HORTON HOUSE

This is the house where people would come to die as it was a hospital of sorts
with a dramatic history. Our guests have experienced being pushed around the
house with a hand on their back when there is no one behind them and catching
mysterious shapes on camera.


THE HORTON GRAND HOTEL

Famous for room 309 and room 209, which are both active. One of the ghosts maybe
someone you have already heard of, an infamous gunslinger, can you guess who
that might be? Visitors still experience mysterious cold chills, footsteps and
glowing orbs.


EL CAMPO CEMETARY

Back to where it all began. Old Town San Diego, El Campo Santo Cemetery has a
long history of the macabre. Ghosts there are disturbed as their burial grounds
have been disturbed many times. Strange figures still appear seemingly to glow
and float above the ground.

COUPLE THINGS TO KNOW - FOR EXPECTATIONS

We bring the spooky, the creepy! I wouldn't call us scary as there are no
monster or clowns jumping out at you (no jump scares). You get environments,
stories, and folklore. If you are looking for jump scares this is not the tour
for you. Things can and do happen on the tour, and people have gotten a bit
scared. It's not because we scared them, it's rather the environment and the
person.

We also bring crazed tongue 'n' cheek humor. We are heavily inspired by 80s and
90s movies, like Scream and The Evil Dead, think Arnold Schwarzenegger cheesy
one-liners. We play with all your emotions including humor. If you are going
with us, do bring your sense of humor with you. If you don't want cheesy
one-liners, this is not the tour for you.

CLICK HERE & MEET OUR GHOSTIES


A GLANCE AT YOUR DARK HISTORY GHOSTIE

Each Ghostie gives a short answer to a pressing question.


REBECCA - PEOPLE ON TOUR

They just liked the word “Pearl”: it's surfer slang for submerging the nose of
your board, it's a good Janis Joplin record, it was the nickname of basketball
great Earl Monroe, and Vedder did have a cool great-grandmother named Pearl. She
didn't wed a Native American–but she did marry a circus contortionist.


VICTORIA - GHOST EXPERIENCES

Your tour combines guided sightseeing with a haunted bus tour and some light
walking. We get off the bus at each location, but the most you’ll walk is two
city blocks.

You and your party will need to be able to handle the 3 steep steps of the ghost
bus. Expect to stand at each stop to enjoy our tales for about 20 minutes. You
can manage with a walker, but a wheelchair won’t fit. If you have ambulatory
concerns, please call us for a personal answer.


ARCHIE - RANDOM THOUGHTS

Do keep in mind that even though you do not enter the Whaley with us, we will
enter the Horton Davis house downtown in the gaslamp. A location that the SD
Ghost hunters (who do investigations throughout San Diego proper) recently said
is – “The Horton Davis house is currently the most active location in San
Diego”. Which is one of the main reason we focus on that location on our tour.

At one time we did tour the Whaley House. Since your tour takes roughly two
hours, and there’s already plenty of walking, we decided to give you the
highlights and show you a variety of fascinating, spooky sites.


ROSALINDA - STYLE

Rosalinda is an exotic and mysterious raconteur who may or may not be a
self-made widow. She may or may not also be a chthonic entity who crawls up from
Hades every single night to tell tales of ghosts and ghouls and things that go
bump in the night to the mortal world. The adorably undead Rosalinda is always
ready to take you for an epic ride.


PROMO VIDEO

This is our original promo video, about 10 years old now. Still true. Retro in
style with that Evil Dead feel and the tongue n cheek humor we sometimes bring.
Awesome!


DANTE - DO YOU BELIEVE?

Meet Dante, a long time Gentleman’s Undertaker. He makes sure all the spirits
are properly cared for and enjoys entertaining them with guests from around the
world. You’ll find Dante often conversing with the locals in the town saloon but
also with the dearly deceased in El Campo Santo Cemetery where he knows all the
spirits by name. Let Dante tell you all about their history and his many
experience’s. His favorite quote is, “Look Alive!”

Dante is the tour patriarch and has been with us for the last 13 years,
since inception. Dante is a master stroyteller and host.





GHOSTLY FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Considering taking a look at some of these if you are serious about the tour.
Click the + to open each question.

DO THINGS HAPPEN? IS IT SCARY?

DO THINGS HAPPEN? IS IT SCARY?

Hauntings and Events
Web Designer's Personal Note: "I have been on 5 tours as of this writing. On 2
of the tours, something happened. Once, a chair started rocking when no one was
around. Another time, there was this deep sound that lasted 30 seconds or so.
The weird thing about it was that you couldn’t locate its source; it was like
surround sound, coming from everywhere. On both occasions, I asked the host if
they did that. They replied, 'No, this is what happens'."

"Not every host who has been with the company was a believer when they joined.
They all are now."

"Bottomline - We can not guarantee that something will happen on your Haunted
San Diego tour, and we can not produce or employ ghosts. Things do happen we
just don't know when, they are rare. But as I said, twice for me personally - so
far!"

Scary?
Our tour is an engaging adventure with spooky stories. It's a dark history tour
with a haunted twist. It is not a haunted house with staged effects, or stooges
popping out of corners unexpectedly. No jump scares! We don't use the word,
scary, we call it spooky though it could scare some. Even so, some reviewers
have called the tour scary. Everyone may expect some eerie, if subtle, moments.
Please join us with that in mind.

HOW MUCH WALKING?

HOW MUCH WALKING?

Your tour combines guided sightseeing with a haunted bus tour and some light
walking. We get off the bus at each location, but the most you’ll walk is three
city blocks (not including the walk to the meeting location from your parking
spot).

You and your party will need to be able to handle the 3 steep steps of the ghost
bus. Expect to stand at each stop to enjoy our tales for about 20 minutes per
stop - some a bit more, some less. We can fit a walker, but a wheelchair won’t
fit. If you have ambulatory concerns, please call us 619.255.6170, for a
personal answer.

Here’s how it breaks down – About 33% of the bus tour is on the bus, with a host
to entertain and inform, plus a driver to keep everyone safe. You’ll be walking
10-15% of the time, and standing for the rest.

KIDS?

KIDS?

Basics
The tour contains mildly racy content, and some disturbing stories. It is geared
toward an adult audience (PG-13). Children under the age of 10 are discouraged.
Children under the age of 6 are not allowed to attend due to the lack of
child-restraint seats in the bus. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied
by an adult – no exceptions.

Scariness
Yes, many kids see scary movies and enjoy them. However, going to these actual
locations is heavier than “just a movie”. The eerie energy of these locations is
real, and you may be surprised how many kids are not as grown up as they think
they are.

If your child becomes frightened, we ask that you as the parent to please
comfort him. You may step away from the tour so your child may regain her
composure. When the moment passes, then rejoin the tour.

Ultimately, it is up to the parent to decide. If you have doubts, please
call/text us 619.255.6170, and we can talk about it.

Racy
The haunted downtown/Gaslamp district of San Diego used to be called the
Stingaree. It was a dangerous place. Once, it was packed with rough bars,
brothels, cutthroats, cardsharps, and vice of every description. We do discuss
some of these things, including prostitution. This is done lightly, not
graphically, but be advised.

BOOKING QUESTIONS

BOOKING QUESTIONS?

Do you have to book in advance with a credit card or Debit Card?
Yes. There are a limited number of seats for each of our tours and we often sell
out well in advance. To ensure that you are able to join us, reservations and
payment are required ahead of time. You can book online or over the phone with
one of our reservation specialists. If you prefer to pay cash, your only option
is to show up at the Old Town Old Town Corral Plaza at least 30 min prior to the
tour departure. If we have seats available, you can pay cash at that time.
PLEASE NOTE: Reservations are highly recommended as empty seats are rare as the
tour time approaches.

Process
When you book online, you will get an email saying your spot(s) have been
reserved. If the tour minimum has been met, your card will be charged and you
will get another email with details about the tour, where to meet and so on. We
operate out of the Old Town Old Town Corral Plaza, please make sure to be there
20 minutes before departure time. Enjoy the tour and happy hauntings!

Waitlist
We do not have a waitlist. If you are trying to book a full tour, your best bet
is to show up at the Old Town Old Town Corral Plaza at least 30 min prior to the
tour departure. If there has been a cancellation, we will know by the time the
tour starts and will get you in. Cancellations are extremely rare; only a couple
a month, so this is a long shot option. Don't miss out - order now!

TOUR MINIMUM

TOUR MINIMUM

Our Haunted Guided Tour is small to ensure personal attention to you, our
guests. We have only 14 seats available per tour. We require an 8 person minimum
in order for us to do a tour. When you reserve a spot you will get an email
confirming that your spot has been reserved. Once 8 people are confirmed on the
tour, we'll send another email so you know that the tour is on.

Your credit card is not charged until we hit the 8 minimum.

If the tour already has 8 people you will get the email immediately, and your
card will be charged immediately.

It is rare, but occasionally if it appears that the tour will not go on. We will
personally call and/or text you with a tour update 3-5 hours before your tour
departure time. Please give us a legit working phone number you'll have on you
for calls/texts. You will not be charged. Your credit card is not processed if
the tour does not meet the 8 person minimum.

If you book well in advance, bless you. Most people will book the day of their
tour, so please be patient and remember: 90% of the time the tour fills the day
of. Your confirmation will likely come sometime that day.

Please call or text us 619.255.6170 if you have questions.

Why 8 People Minimum
There are two reasons for this. First, at least 8 people are necessary per tour
for a sustainable business. The second, perhaps odd reason is that 8 seems to be
the magic number of people needed for a great tour. Let us take you behind the
scenes here. Once in a while we will get a 4 or lower star rating by a reviewer.
A lot of times when we get that low of a review, the tour had less than 8
people. Experience shows we need that many people for the group to relax, and
the guide to give the great presentation we are known for.



CANCEL? NOT SATISFIED?

CANCEL? NOT SATISFIED?

Cancellation Policy
If we cancel on you due to flooding, unforeseen incident or the tour minimum is
not met know that you will be fully and promptly refunded. In the case of the
minimum, you will not be charge as your card is not processed unless the minimum
is hit. If you book us through someone else, Viator, Expedia, and so on - we
will reach out to them and get you refunded.

If you cancel and let us know 24 or more hours before the tour, you will be
refunded in full. If 24 hours or under - all sales are final. There are no tour
date exchanges or refunds. Just like a concert or theater performance, once the
tickets are purchased, the seats are considered sold. We do not offer refunds,
nor can we change your booking to a different night or time if you miss the
tour. This is our official policy.

Even so, we are human too, and know things happen. At our discretion and
circumstances permitting, if you must cancel within 24 hours, we will do our
best to make things work for you. You must contact us via text or call
619.255.6170, and if we can sell your seats before the tour, we will happily
refund your purchase. So, the sooner you contact us, the better chance we have
to sell your spot(s) and then get you your money back.

Your Satisfaction
It is rare, but we are not perfect and every once and a while someone will have
a "meh" experience. If this happens to be you please call/text us 619.255.6170
and give us a chance to make things right. Often times we will refund you. Deep
gratitude.

DISCOUNTS & PRICING

DISCOUNTS & PRICING

Do you offer discounts for Seniors, Military or anything else?
Our bus is smaller, we like to keep it intimate. The downside of keeping it
intimate is that our profit margins are super thin. Plus we pay to enter
locations, have a driver and host. Occasionally, we will set up a discount code
on our site because we do want to get people a discount for asking. If you don’t
see it, call or text us 619.255.6170, and we will set something custom up for
you. Discounts are not available during September and October.

Group Discounts
If you have a group of more than 12 individuals, please call our reservation
line to discuss potential discounted options – 619.255.6170.

Pricing Transparancy
We keep our tour groups small at 14 people maximum, to ensure a personal touch.
Pricing wise it is hard for us to compete with a walking tour (which has no bus
insurance or overhead associated in that way and takes as many as possible since
they don’t have “seats”), and a larger bus tour that adds another 14 people but
loses the intimacy. We must pay for you to see and enter some of the locations
we visit. Unlike many tours, we have a driver and a host, which ensures your
tour is safe and top quality, and this costs us more as well. Basically we pay
to enter locations and run a bus and a driver which no other tour in town does
so yea our cost on the bus tour is higher. If you are looking for a more
affordable option please check our Gaslamp walking tour or Old Town Walking
tour,

SHOULD I TIP? DRIVING HOST?

SHOULD I TIP? DRIVING HOST?

Should I tip?< br /> If you enjoy the performance of your host, yes! It is
customary to thank them however you see fit. Your host is a trained,
experienced, and knowledgeable professional who puts a lot of effort and energy
into your experience. Your generosity is always appreciated. It is how the host
makes much of their income. Remember the driver, too, if you are pleased with
your evening. If you tip the driver remember the host is tipped seperately so
don't forget them.

No Driving Host?
Consider the important reasons for this: 1. Safety and performance first -
That's why we have a dedicated driver and a seperate host. Anyone telling
stories while driving may become distracted. This means they might forget and
skip over important stories on the tour as they deal with traffic. Worse, they
may get into an accident. We provide you get a driver and a host on your tour.
The driver concentrates on the road and your safety, while the host focuses on
the performance, stories, and your good time.

Our competition skips on having a separate driver to cut costs / quality by
having one person perform both jobs, and they don’t pass the savings on to you.
It also makes for easier scheduling.

2. Entertainment. Your ghost host will be standing at the front of the bus,
enthralling you with San Diego ghost stories the entire time you are on the
tour. There is no storytelling break while you ride. They are directly involved
with you at all times. This keeps them on top of their performance – not
distracted by traffic.

3. We keep an eye on the bus and your valuables. You’ll be getting off at every
haunted location with the host guiding you. The driver will stay with the bus so
your valuables are watched over, and kept safe.

PARKING? ARRIVAL?

PARKING? ARRIVAL?

Parking
You should arrive in Old Town at least 35 minutes prior to the tour departure
(more during busy season). There is parking available, but it can be
competitive. You may have to walk some blocks. Below is a map of the free
parking locations in town. You may also used the paid parking beneath the
meeting location (Old Town Corral Plaza).

Click here to download the Haunted Old Town free parking spots map!

Consider using Lyft, Uber, or a taxi, and forget parking.

Arrival
Our tour leaves from the Old Town Corral Plaza | 2415 San Diego Ave, San Diego,
CA 92110

Please make sure to be at the plaza 20 minutes before your tour embarks. When
you get there you will see our ghost host dressed in Victorian attire. You will
also see our purple shuttle bus, you can't miss it. Please introduce yourself to
the host, have the ticket buyer give their name, and you are good to go. There
is no ticket or phone app needed just your name. We go by a roster.

There are rare cases where the earlier tour may have gone over. In that case
please be patient, they will materialize.

LOCATIONS / WHAT DO WE ENTER?

PARKING? ARRIVAL?

We take you into the last 3 locations (Horton Grand Hotel, Davis Horton House
and the El Campo Graveyard) of the 5 locations. We bring you into more locations
on our tour then any other San Diego ghost tour. We will take you to the Whaley
house yard but not enter. The other site you won’t enter is the Villa Montezuma.
Even so, many of our guests considered this mansion one of their favorites on
our tour. The stories and the presentation is excellent. You might be glad you
didn’t go in there after dark…

What about the Whaley House?
You’ll enter the grounds and see the house, but not enter. We’ll tell you about
the Whaley House, who lived and died there, and the circumstances that make it a
ghostly hot spot. You’ll learn more about the Whaley House later on, at the
graveyard.

The Whaley House has its own tour. They control and care for this historic site,
which is their specialty and all they do. This means they can go into much more
depth, at the cost of not seeing the intriguing variety of haunted places San
Diego has to offer. Many of our customers that are interested in the Whaley
house will take their tour before or after ours. At the time of this writing I
am told the Whaley tour cost roughly $7 and is self-guided (at your own pace),
most spend 20 minutes, with some docent support.

Do keep in mind that even though you do not enter the Whaley with us, we will
enter the Horton Davis house downtown in the gaslamp. A location that the SD
Ghost hunters (who do investigations throughout San Diego proper) recently said
is – “The Horton Davis house is currently the most active location in San Diego
proper”. You enter it with us! Which is one of the main reason we focus on that
location on our tour.

haunted San Diego.

Our 2-hour combination bus and light walking tour brings San Diego history

Took my friend who was visiting San Diego and we had a great time. Al was a
wonderful guide and even as a local I learned so much about San Diego that I
didn’t know!

Her trading work is done with a level of expertise that can only be learned with
years of experience at the highest levels. I was blown away by the ingenuity and
thoroughness of strategy. I went in knowing zero about online trading but Mrs
Barbara snyder walked me through every step of the process. I made $7000 in just
five days of trading, Don’t just recommend, I highly recommend.

This was my first ghost tour in my own backyard of San Diego and let me tell you
it did NOT disappoint. Our Ghost Host, Rosalinda, was a gem & very entertaining.
Our Ghost Coach was just too cute which added to the tour. Big shoutout to our
driver Ken! Thank you to your amazing staff for a wonderful night. ❤️ Can't wait
to do this again.

This tour is nothing short of amazing! Our Ghost Coach was delightfully and
uniquely tricked out with coffin-like tufted panels illuminated by flickering
candles and you always felt as if you were being watched….because you are.
Little Skeleton Skulls keep a careful eye! We visited and were able to enter
many of the old haunted Victorian buildings and were treated to not only a
theatrical retelling of ghost stories but also a carefully researched and
accurate history of these buildings and San Diego itself. Our Ghost host Dante
surprised and delighted us at every turn. When we return to San Diego we will
definitely be revisiting this wonderful tour. Thanks for the ride!
