Along the way, your guide will share gripping stories of 70s serial killers, unsolved mysteries, and haunted mortuaries.

Darcy_T, Jun 2026

We loved this experience....

We loved this experience. The views of landscape and wildlife were unbelievably beautiful. Our guide, Suzy, was amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. She took the time to get to know us and discover our interests. She made sure we had opportunities to check out things that would be most important to us to see. She gave us a great orientation to the e-bikes. The ride was so fun but always felt safe.

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.

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!

Sunset Boulevard True Crime and Ghost Stories Tour

Jeremy_T, Dec 2025

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.

Mosts of the Ghosts

Great little experience. It was just me, the host and the ghosts, and I'm glad the excursion wasn't cancelled because it was the last night of my trip. It does include *hills* like only San Francisco can offer so be wary if you're daunted by a hike. That being said, the host took her time and let me asthmatically wheeze up the hill which I was grateful for. The stories and history were fun and there were plenty of photo worthy stops. Also a fair amount of SFs walking their dogs so puppy loving along with spooky vibes 😍

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!

Awesome tour!!!

Wow! This was a super awesome tour. RT was our guide and he was just so knowledgeable and friendly. Not only did he go over murder mysteries, but he also made sure we knew about the history of San Diego. He showed us historical buildings and the tales behind them as well. I would totally take this tour again and highly recommend it.
