    This tour was fun! Very hilly so wear comfy shoes and be prepared to trek up the SF hills. Jamie, our tour guide was fun and really knowledgeable. Bonus: I found a new spot I've never heard of before and I really liked it. The Last Drop Tavern.

    I grew up in the Bay Area and have lived in San Francisco for many years, but I learned about 100 new facts I never knew before going on this Ghost Tour. Michael was a great tour guide and really knew his history. Thank you for the fun tour and the extra cardio!

    Some of the things we saw and James!

    I took my teen daughter and her bestie, it was such a great time! James gave us such great history, and amazing stories. Wonderful evening, lots of walking!

    Learn about what's buried under the streets!

    I went BACK for the Haunted Pub Crawl! It was so much fun. Lots of new scary stories and fun bars! A few of the stops the bar and owners were so eager to share their spooky happenings with us! Michaela the guide managed the crowd really well the night flowed really smoothly! Now I have a bunch new bars I can take my friends to and share some stories.

    Haunted location with strong EMF activity!

    Jamie, our guide, made this a great experiencial imersion into haunted San Francisco! He is a knowledgeable historian that brought wit combined with story telling fun! Take this tour and enjoy!

    Cannot recommend this tour enough! Jamie was our tour guide and he was so informative and hilarious. It was beautiful walking around the city at night and our whole group had a great time. When you're in SF, check out the tour!

The decor downstairs is a blast from the past with in tact stenciling, wall paper, and turn off the century original detail. He freely shares so much history and detail of the area, historical development and decline in the area. The wealth of knowledge here is abundant.

It is time really well spent. A GREAT TOUR!

Our guide, John, was extremely hard to hear (he kept moving around so if you thought you found a good spot, you'd quickly realize you did not), did not really seem to have a knack for storytelling (I was really invested in this and still had a hard time paying attention to him), and after telling him we needed to find a spot for a bathroom, he walked us several blocks to a cash only cafe that had the most claustrophobic, humid bathroom we could've found. It seems that we skipped the cocktail bar stops (or maybe they occurred once we left, which was approximately at 7:30). While six in the group stuck it out, that was the tipping point for two of us and we left the tour early. According to what was listed on the website, we were expecting something engaging, fun, and spooky: This was NOT as advertised.

Our docent customized the tour to what each person of the group wanted to hear/learn more about which I thought was very cool. Our tour was also accompanied by print outs of articles and photographs which were helpful aids. Though they say to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to the tour to check in, on Saturdays, when the tour begins at 10am, it is not quite as necessary to arrive earlier. The Chinese Culture Center is not open until 10am and the docents don't arrive until 10am either. We parked at Portsmouth ($4/hour) since we wanted to arrive earlier to check-in, but we actually had enough time to park at the (farther) garage that the Chinese Culture Center validates.
