Top San Diego Night Tours

This tour was great! We attended Oct. 7th, 2026, in the care of our intrepid bus driver, Linda, and part time thespian, Archie, after dark at 7pm. While there were No paranormal experiences, to my knowledge, there was a really surprising wealth of history, primarily of the Villa Montezuma House (now museum), and the notorious Gaslamp District, including the Davis-Horton house, which is the oldest surviving structure in downtown! My husband and I spend a lot of time in San Diego, (we lived there for a few years as newlyweds, years ago), and didn't know about these (and other historic buildings and stories). There is very little walking, really, for those who may be concerned about that, and given the very high temperatures we've been experiencing, the minibus was very comfortably airconditioned. Linda, our bus driver, provided water ½ way through our tour. Archie, our guide, was very knowledgeable, personable, friendly, and often, funny, making this trip very enjoyable. For those old enough and interested in San Diego history, this was perfect. (This was no haunted house experience with costumed people jumping out at you with fake chainsaws! If you're looking for that, there are other tours/venues for that).

This tour was a lot of fun. The gps was fantastic and the narration told some interesting facts. It was a good way to see the city. We did the 2 hour tour and it was about the right time. They said there was some play in the timing and time for us to make stops but we didn’t make any stops and it took us 1:50. And they charge by the minute if you go over, so be careful of the time. Don’t have to rush, but can’t linger either.

We were in an open windowed trolley “bus” and, Steven, our driver, was fun and informative. Nice bunch of people too. We saw lots of sites in San Diego and drove across the bridge to Coronado and drove by the Hotel del Coronado and stopped at the ferry landing. I recommend this trip!!
