Natalie_K, May 2026

Fantastic tour, a hilarious good time

Ben was an exceptional guide. My friends and I had the best time and we were laughing all night. Ben also recommended very good drinks at the stops that we wouldn't have typically tried. We had a blast and would recommend this tour highly. There is a stop at a strip club which had a very entertaining ghost story.

Flo was the perfect...

Such a beautiful way to view the 17 mile drive! Flo was the perfect guide. He was very knowledgeable and informative throughout the entire 17-mile ride. He made sure our bikes were working properly, that we were comfortable, and he consistently offered water, snacks, encouragement, and reassurance along the way. He is incredibly kind and truly the best. Thank you, Flo!

It was a wonderful...

It was a wonderful experience and while my aunt was a tourist, I was a local and learned so much during the tour that I would have never imagined. I highly recommend this tour and especially with Leila, one of the best tour guides I've ever seen. She was kind and energetic with the explanations while remaining respectful with the cases she talked about. Please please give this tour a chance because you won't regret it and you'll be hooked the entire time.

The Solvang ghost tour...

The Solvang ghost tour was such a fun experience! Casey was a great guide and knew how to go about the stories of the town and throw some jokes in there too to keep it lighthearted. If you’re wanting to learn about the town in a different light this is definitely a great way to do so! Casey was very informative and knowledgeable about anything we questioned. Highly recommend this tour!

Take a Walk with Chris

I met up with Chris and a small group on a chilly night to walk the Sunset Strip and learn about its sordid history. I knew the gist of many of the stories, which focused on serial killers, mafia lore, celebrity residences, overdose deaths, and some paranormal encounters. But what made the tour great - and Chris a great tour guide - was his "extra" knowledge provided between the stories. He was able to respond in-depth to questions, provide local recommendations, and was also knowledgeable in architecture. This was a well-rounded and entertaining experience, and, like the best tours of this sort, benefited from the guide's distinct sense of humor, in addition to his expertise.

San Francisco Ghost Hunt Walking Tour

San Francisco Ghost Tour

I insisted on a ghost tour on my recent trip to San Francisco and Christian Cagigal’s tour was nothing short of amazing. We met in front of The Healing Center underneath a set of impressive eucalyptus trees. Christian is a self-admitted septic and amazing historian. With a sense of humor and while remaining neutral he led us to several spots of purported haunting sadness. I was impressed with the histories of amazing pioneer women of San Francisco. There was definitely a feeling of eerie anticipation in the areas we stopped at, and Christian even related accounts and anecdotes from members of the communities , both far and in recent times. I left with my curiosity piqued. And I received a set of reference materials to further my education. This hour and a half tour is perfect for you if you are interested in a knowledgeable and easy to follow tour guide, a pleasant evening walk and the histories and mysteries of this culture-rich city. I highly recommend and would visit other events led by Christian . The hills are alive !

Fun way to experience San Francisco

Had a great time checking out a few different places around San Francisco. Each bar was very different, so it was cool to get a variety. We ended the night in China Town when the tour ended, and our group was having such a good time we stayed and had some more drinks!
