We booked this as a tour for around 9 people on Friday the 13th earlier this year, and unfortunately did not have a great experience, however I can see how this would be a great experience if the circumstances were different -- so 2 stars for potential. The directions were not clear as to where we were supposed to arrive. There was no address to meet at. After going back and forth with customer service, they eventually gave a landmark, which did not exist in the uber and Lyft apps and was questionable on Google Maps. Everyone in their uber got dropped off to different places. The directions also said to go to "the yellow building" -- but when we arrived, there were several yellow buildings. The tour guide also was not carrying a lantern, which was part of the directions given (look for the person carrying a lantern.) When we finally found her, we asked the tour guide where her lantern was, she said she didn't want to carry it around all night. We also believe the tour guide was late. We were in the area looking for her for about 15 minutes and we passed by the same spot she ended up being at several times and did not see anyone. Finally they called and we went back to the spot and she was there. This was around 5 minutes past the start time. Then she told us we only have until 7:30. So we are ending on time but she didn't start on time? The tour guide took us around to several bars, but the first one she admitted that it was not even haunted, or that she was not sure if the bar was haunted or not as she was not familiar with the bar. So I'm confused why we went there? There was also no indication that this was only going to be an hour and a half. It was fun bar hopping with our friends in some spooky places, but considering I paid almost three hundred dollars for the group I expected a higher quality experience. read more

The tour was awesome! So worth the money spent. As a history buff, there's a lot to learn about the ghost stories in Sacramento. This is only the tip of the iceberg. Recommend you purchase the EMF reader along with the tour. read more

Alexis Riewaldt with US Ghost Adventures was so much fun in Old Town Sacramento this evening. She answered all the extra questions we had and added even more fun to the tour with a goodie bag of sweet treats. All the info on the Miss Delta King was mesmerizing. Get Alexis when you book your ghost tour. read more

3.5- 4 stars The not great: The meetup location moved to in front of the restrooms so that was easy to find (if you checked the email not the website) but aromatic. Check in was 7:45 to start at 8. Alexis showed up around 8:10. Fast talking and almost mumbling at times was challenging. If you go on a Friday in October, the movie night event can impede on their tour. If it had started on time, we may have missed the movie ending though while we were at the Eagle Theater where they tear down. You're told the 30 min extra time you pay for is really 15 or so minutes and only a couple stories. Was the bonus tour worth it? The one major story was good. Any else felt more glossed over or were recommendations what to look up or watch documentaries on. The good: Alexis seemed to really love talking about history and the drama that comes with ghost stories and "Scandals, Shadows, and Secrets." Showed concern and commented on cars and music that went by while she paused to make sure she didn't have to talk over it. Some stories were pretty cool. I only doubt the accuracy due to some other reviews here. She always made sure we were safe crossing the street, that the group was all together, and that the mic worked for everyone. Overall, it's ok. I'd say maybe not go on a Friday/Saturday night bc of noise and other events but that's exactly when you do want to go. Same for going in October. Other events in spots they want to stop at but it's spooky season so of course that's when you want to go. I really had a good time with who I was with so that made it 100% worth it. read more

It was easy to spot our tour guide, Dane, who was carrying an old fashion lantern and standing next to the Ferris wheel. TIP: plan a very late lunch or very early dinner for this event. Parking in old Sacramento is a shit show if you want street parking. The roads are bumpy due to cobblestone and there are zero traffic lights in the immediate area to regulate traffic so you would need to watch out for a ton of pedestrians. You can park in the parking structure next to the California Railroad Musuem for a flat fee of $15 for the stay and avoid all that traffic. Plenty of entertainment until your tour starts. The tour was entertaining yet super sad to the nature of being the Wild West. Natural disasters and unscrupulous ppl = so much tragedy. We walked from one end to the other in the area and learned about the history behind our state capitol. We truly enjoyed our experience! read more

I want to start off by saying I did not take a tour... Yet! I am just highly dissatisfied with calling the phone number that is provided here on Yelp because the lady that answered the phone did not know what I was talking about nor could she understand common and proper English! I was trying to verify if this was a veteran owned business, and she did not know what I was talking about! I am a veteran and love to support Veteran businesses. Also, the lady that answered the phone answered saying "US ghost tourss" so I was a little thrown off... Is there another phone number I could call besides the one that starts with 844??? I hope I could get better Customer Service after leaving this review so I could attempt to do a tour with my friend sometime soon. read more

I would recommend ghost tour. Lydia was our guide. She was awesome. She had so much information about the history of the buildings. Our EMfF detector was going off like crazy in certain locations. It was really cool. Caught this weird little greenish orb light at bottom center of my picture. It was pretty dark out there. read more

The guide, Alexis, was 15 minutes late Upon arrival, she immediately gave excuses as to why she was late instead of taking accountability that she was in the wrong; upon reading reviews, this seems to be a common theme for her. Lastly, she would repeatedly roll her eyes whenever there was a loud car/music. I can understand the frustration, but you are the face of the company and need to remain professional read more

We did the Boos & Booze Haunted Pub Crawl with a small group of friends. We had the best time with our tour guide Jack! So much fun hearing about the haunted history while making stops at the local bars in between. Would definitely recommend. read more

It was cool and all, guide did amazing, I'm just sad that I spent $7 on an EMF reader that I never even got.

This tour is great. Super fun. Bring an EMF detector to see if you can detect ghost activity. Wear comfy shoes. Not that much walking, but best to be comfy. read more

We planned this last minute but it was worth it. There was a total of 10 people in the tour which was nice. Our guide Lydia was great. She was very knowledgable about the history of Old Sacramento and continues to research the stories. We did the 8 o'clock tour and old town sacramento was mostly empty which helped in the ghost tour. My teens liked it that they would like to go to other cities to do the ghost tours. read more

Tons of fun and very informative. Learned a lot of cool things that I didn't know before. Gabby unfolded the stories well and clearly. read more

Gabby was very knowledgeable! Fun little walking tour around old sac :) spookiest thing were the bums though lol

I took the Boos and Booze tour with Jack. It was an interesting way to experience Old Sacramento by going into some of the businesses and having cocktails. Jack kept us moving along with tales of ghosts and Sacramento's history - with all those past events no wonder it's haunted! Thank you Jack. read more

Excellent experience. Rusty was very welcoming and shared the interesting and infamous history of Sacramento. Several sites were visited and interpreted. The walk around town was fun, not to long, and the people watching is great. Many thanks to Rusty for spending his time and sharing his expertise. Highly recommended. read more

This was such a fun tour. We honestly only booked it because we needed to kill time while our son was at a concert. We saw it & thought why not. We love anything paranormal & anything about history. I thought this was going to be a tourist trap kind of thing, but it wasn't. Gabby was great & so informative. I will be doing this again, my kids were jealous we did it without them. Maybe check other cities on the tour as well. Thanks for a fun evening. read more

Had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful Emma. She is a great tour guide. She knew her history information about Sacramento well and had a charming personality. We walked to about 7 locations. It was about an hour in length. If you like learning about the history of Sacramento and some haunting chills this is for you! This reminded me of a similar tour I did in Salem Massachusetts. It was easy to find her at the meeting point. She didn't have the USGA black T shirt on but she was wearing all black with a lantern so I spotted her easily. I would recommend this night tour to anyone. Great experience with Emma! read more

Horrible history! This tour was not worth it. Our guide was 20 minutes late and then proceeded to tell us that the tour was only 30 minutes long, even though my ticket clearly stated "one hour". The guide provided incorrect dates and fabricated facts. There are NOT tunnels or dead bodies under the streets of Old Sacramento. Most of the tour focused on incorrect history, and the few ghost stories were just added in between. Even our guide recommended that we take the underground tours with the museum. I do not recommend this tour. read more

Gabby was awesome! Learned a lot about old town Sac. She had great energy was very informative. Kept fun as well. I have your recommend taking the Sacramento ghost tour. read more

Gabby was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and well spoken. The tour would have been that much better if we would have been able to enter some of the establishments and use our EMF readers. I have lived in Sacramento my entire life and did not know some of the history that Gabby explained. I am a history buff so I enjoyed the tour very much but my daughter was expecting more paranormal activities. We took this tour on a Saturday night but the loud cars with loud music and reving engines was annoying. I wish I would have taken this tour during the week. read more

Wandered for about 40 min searching for the start place of tour. Found another person who'd also purchased tickets in advance searching for the start of tour. It was not at the location stated when we purchased tickets, at the Delta King. Huge disappointment as the execution was so flawed due to the location of start of tour not clear. Guide wasn't carrying a lantern to clue us in. Start of tour was on another street no where near where they started it'd start on the Website. We didn't finish the tour as we were so exasperated by the time we finally found it way past the start time. Meh. Tour maybe fine but the starting point would be nice to know in advance. read more

Very informative with lots of historical knowledge. on Sacramento. Enjoyed it. The tour guide did a good job.

This was a really fun tour. There was lots of information about Sacramento history and the guide shared interesting ghost stories. I would definitely recommend this tour for adults. read more

Ethan was our tour's host for our night of horrible history and terrible tales. My wife and I live in Old Sacramento and we love the history of the area. Much like the History Museum, Underground Tours, and Train Museum, this tour is essential Old Sac knowledge. After learning about palaces where the city has historically housed its diseased, dying, and dead denizens, there are some buildings I will never look at the same way again. The tour was as informative as it was entertaining! We both highly recommend taking this tour if you haven't done so already. read more

Ethan was an amazing host. I loved how detailed he was and he was very interactive with the guests. It pretty much the only time it's okay to be ghosted by anyone. Thank you, Ethan! read more

Compelling ghosts stories infused in the history of Old Sacramento. She has done a lot of investigating.

Took the tour on Friday evening with my son and grandson. Alexis was our tour guide and she gave us so much history of so many buildings, the Delta King and the people who lived and died tragically. My grandson liked holding the EMF which lit up in different colors when it sensed ghosts being present. We enjoyed ourselves! I want to take the underground tour of the tunnels next. read more

This was an awesome experience learned a lot about the history of Sacramento . This was on the bucket list if you haven't had the experience I recommend you do it . read more

We enjoy doing ghost tours in cities because you get the history of the city combined with the creepy ghost sighting stories. Rusty really knows a lot about Sacramento history and this tour was a fascinating look back. This tour would be a 5 if we got more actual ghost stories. read more

Highly suggested. The tour guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We are going back!

Ethan was a wonderful tour guide! He was very engaging and informative and he took us to multiple locations that all had dark stories to tell. Definitely worth going!! read more

We're from sac but I've always loved horror and anything ghosts. It was so fun learning so much history about our hometown and kyndls humor made it so much better! read more

Went on this tour with the tour guide, Kyndl. She was a great history storyteller, but this tour wasn't what we expected. It was a very history channel and zero upbeat energy or scary ghost tales. If you want to know scaramento history, it's a must. If you want to have a fun night feeling a little spooked, this isn't it. Me, my husband and mom left feeling sleepy and had more fun watching ghost adventures at home the day prior. Also, if Kyndl reads this, it's "Chupacabra." She mentioned that she believed minimum wage is equivalent to minimum effort, and it shows, unfortunately. But good luck to her in her other ventures. read more

So fun and our tour guides passion and knowledge and art of story telling was superb!

I always love ghost tours in whatever city I visit because it's a great way to learn about the city. Rusty was our tour guide and he really loves what he does. He taught us a lot about Sacramento old town and he had a great time doing it. It was fun, I'd do it again. We went on Veteran's Day and Rusty's a vet, so an extra thank you to him!! read more

This tour is loaded with ALOT of history. Our guide, Rusty, had a profound amount of information. We were expecting to enter some of the buildings in the tour, but only stood outside while he delivered the information. It was a Friday night and old town started getting busy and it made for a lot of distractions. If you're looking for lots of information and a knowledgeable guide, Rusty is perfect. The only thing that would have made it 5 stars is more interaction with the locations. I would avoid bringing children under 10 for risk of boredom. read more
