We enjoyed our ghost tour and Casey our tour guide was great. We enjoyed the stories he told us and even got to use an EMF gauge and a spirit box. It was so fun to experiment with these devices. I would not hesitate to book The Haunt Tours. They are the best haunted ghost tours out there!!

Our guide Casey was fantastic. I loved all of the history he gave us along with the ghost lore which makes the tour very interesting. His use of humor in some areas and quiet respect in others made it very comfortable to be in those areas. Also his use of ghost hunting tools helped to make the entire experience believable and thought provoking.

good combination of ghost hunting and history of Solvang. Kids liked it but were a little scared too. EMF meters were nice hands on for them.

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!

We really enjoyed our Ghost Tour experience and loved our host, Cindy. I had no idea what to expect and ended up learning fun history about Solvang and many of its past residents. We had a fun group of just 6 and it was perfect. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Amy! We’re trying to offer a different sort of tour, and your feedback shows we're on the right track. Eagerly anticipating your next visit!
Ash was outstanding, she had great stories, pictures, and knowledge of the true history of events that happened. Even though I’m a local, I learned so much and had so much fun. I even got to connect with spirits who passed, which was so special.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable experience on this tour. John, our tour guide, was exceptional. He provided us with fascinating insights into the history of Solvang that were previously unknown to us, including some of its darker aspects. Additionally, the opportunity to use ghost hunting devices made the tour highly interactive and engaging. Thank you David!

Thanks Tracy, your words mean the world to us! We hope to have the pleasure of your company on another adventure soon :)
Our guide Cindy was fantastic. The tour was scary, and fun and funny! The best part is the strange picture I took at the most haunted house in Solvang. My brother was using the divining rods and asking where she was and instead of pointing at the house it pointed over to the left. I took a pic in that direction and 2 odd whitish blue forms were in the picture! I am sure we saw spirits! I wish I could post it here!
