Very interesting history of Monterey, the architecture of the buildings, and how famous people's lives intertwined.
Alexandra_r, Jan 2026
Very informative! Our guide was great! So many local legends and lore that I found so interesting. My first time doing one of these and I’m so glad I did!
Nick_O, Jan 2026
We took the last tour of the day and it was a blast. My 16 year daughter loved it. The spooky atmosphere really gives life to stories being told.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hi, Nick! We appreciate your feedback! It’s great to hear the spooky setting added to the experience and that the tour was a hit for your family. We hope to see you again soon!
Alisa_R, Dec 2025
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. Even though it was raining we were still able to go. Really enjoyed it
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hello Alisa, there's nothing quite like a peaceful night stroll with a side of local lore and shadowy tales. Thank you for the outstanding 5-star review. Hope to see you again soon for another moonlit walk through the past!
Dean_H, Dec 2025
Was somewhat light on material, but then the $32 price PP was reasonable for only a one-hour tour. Ethan did a great job however -- was excellent at the storytelling.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hello Dean, thank you for your honest feedback! We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and are glad to hear that Ethan’s storytelling stood out and made the experience enjoyable. We’ll be sure to pass along the kind words to him, thanks for joining us!

Part history, part ghosts, but all exciting! Our tour guide (Ari?) did a great job and was friendly and did a good job with a smaller group. Would recommend!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hello, James! We really appreciate your feedback! It’s great to hear that Ari made your tour exciting and enjoyable. We’ll let them know how much you appreciated it. Hope to see you again on another tour!
RICHARD_B, Nov 2025
First, the meeting place was difficult to find. Although the address was provided, it was still hard to find and caused us stress that we’d miss the tour.
The tour itself was OK, not great. The guide was also OK. The local history was interesting but overall we didn’t find it that exciting. If you’re into this kind of thing, maybe it’s spot on.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re sorry to hear the meeting location was difficult to find and caused stress. We appreciate your comments about the tour and the guide, and we’ll share your feedback with our team to help improve the experience. We hope to see you on a future tour that exceeds expectations.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Craig_C, Oct 2025
Host was very knowledgeable. Enjoyable tour and learned plenty of past stories. Not too scary should you think of taking young children.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
We appreciate your review! It’s wonderful that you learned so much and found the tour suitable for kids. We’ll share your compliments with the host and hope you join us again soon!

Cynthia_U, Sep 2025
I really enjoyed the stories about the ghosts in this area. We got to hear about some historical people & see some old architecture. Great tour, & entertaining!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your kind review! We’re pleased you enjoyed the mix of history, ghosts, and architecture on the tour. Hope to see you again soon!
Alisa_D, Sep 2025
This was a very cool tour, lots of history and not too spooky. We did the 10:00 pm tour, so maybe a little spookier, the early tours may be better if you’re easily scared, but it was very cool!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thanks for sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the history and found the 10:00 pm tour appropriately spooky. If you prefer a milder experience, the earlier tours are great for that. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words to the guide and hope you join us again soon!
Elizabeth_V, Aug 2025
We had fun on this hour long ghost tour in Monterey. It’s always a bit of a history lesson which my husband and I appreciate. My teenager is definitely on these kinds of tours hoping supernatural happens LOL! The meeting point was super confusing though (we got to the right parking lot but there wasn’t a soul in sight). So we had to go hunting for the group a little. Also, and this is no fault of the company, there isn’t an easy way it seems to contact someone with possible issues. Overall, it was a fun way to spend an hour.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thanks for sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear you and your family enjoyed the tour and the history. Sorry for the confusion with the meeting location and any difficulty reaching us. We appreciate your feedback and hope to make your next visit even smoother. Hope to see you again!
Elizabeth_C, Aug 2025
If you’re really into hunting ghosts with fake stories that have no basis in actual history, this tour is for you.

Lilly_Y, Aug 2025
So fun and fascinating! I loved the history and spooky hauntings behind each building! Our tour guide made it even more engaging with the EMF! Loved every second of it, our tour guide knew a lot and answered all of our questions! I would do it again and get the extended tour to check out more buildings!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thanks for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear the guide made the tour engaging and answered all your questions. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words to the guide and hope you join us again for the extended tour!
Jessica_B, Jul 2025
It was a fun little tour with some spooky insights and stories sprinkled in with a good general history of some landmarks in the area. Our particular tour was a little fast paced for some of us in the group, but the guide waited for us to all catch up before speaking about points of interest and checked in with his stragglers every stop to make sure we were doing okay. Bonus points for most of the tour our points of interest were functioning museums, etc and our guide was really good about including information like hours of operation, etc if we wanted to come back to check any of the museums and stuff out for ourselves. Overall a good experience for a reasonably priced ghost tour!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thanks for sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the spooky stories and historical insights, and that the guide was attentive to everyone’s pace. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along and hope to welcome you back on another tour soon!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Worth the time and Adam was a great guide. We did the 8:00 tour and thought the time was perfect. The walking part is very doable.
Response from Host, Aug 2025

It was really good. I personally saw and heard things and it was really cool. My wife also heard something and she really enjoyed a great birthday activity if they like spooky things.

Not worth it. Need more history. And guide was difficult to understand. Not very articulate. One of the guides did not show up so group was too large.

It was very interesting and lots of the dark past of Monterey! He definitely held my attention. I loved the way he answered any questions you had and was very intense explaining things. This was a wonderful addition to our trip to Monterey and had no idea about the darker side of the area...
Response from Host, May 2025
Hello, Donna! Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're so glad the tour added a fascinating (and darker!) layer to your Monterey trip. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to your guide!
Kimberly_L, Apr 2025
Monterey ghost tour is just what I want in a tour: heavy on history, heavy on ghosts, and light on walking! Our guide, Adam, is a great story-teller and is obviously very passionate about the history of Monterey. Our family of five, ages 14-54, enjoyed it very much.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re so happy the tour was a perfect fit for your family, blending history and ghosts with a relaxed pace. Adam is definitely passionate about the history of Monterey, and we’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to him. We’d love to have you all join us again soon for another memorable tour!
