My friend Karen, with whom I share an interest in the paranormal, joined me for the Sonoma Plaza walk, and we had a wonderful time! To be honest, I had expected something more of a "points of interest" tour (i.e. so-and-so hanged himself in that building in 1878, and people have reported cold spots and flickering lights in there.) Imagine my surprise to find the tour was a hands-on experience, with us not only getting to work with an EMF meter, divining rods, and even a spirit box, but interact with actual spirits as well. WOW! Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in ghosts and a desire for a fascinating, enjoyable time. Thanks! read more

Devin and Ellen were great hosts. We arrived and met them at the big Oak tree and right off the bat they were welcoming and comfortable to talk with. We flew in from Seattle and it was our first stop for our Valentine's day getaway and what a great start! We were joined by a few other couples and were introduced to the gear and the spirits coming through to communicate. We loved the spirit box and the activities plus walking and the history of the town was intriguing to hear about. We loved the experience and would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to have a safe and paranormal experience! Thank you Devin and Ellen! read more

This was without a doubt the most amazing ghost tour I have ever been on and honestly will probably ever be on. Forget other ghost tour claims- Savannah's claims as the most haunted city in America didn't hold a candle to this ghost tour in Sonoma. I have told SO many people about this experience! I knew this was not your typical ghost tour where you walk around hearing historical stories with some spooky details thrown in as soon as Devin began talking. He passed around dousing rods and K2 meters, and he began explaining what the tour would look like. We would be directly engaging with spirits- and he definitely delivered! We walked from location to location, using the variety of tools that were at our disposal thanks to Devin. We had a small party and, unfortunately, Ellen was not available that night- but Devin gave us a unique and intimate glimpse into the spirit world of Sonoma. Phenomenal! Without telling you too much and spoiling some of the experiences, I will say this- my best friend was very emotionally impacted by one spirit whose messages brought her to tears, my sister received an electronic zap on her palm from another, she and I both felt someone playing with our hair, we had a light hearted interaction with a Casanova, and my best friend and I both saw the same spirit in our mind's eye. If you are interested in the paranormal, do yourself a favor and book this tour!! I truly can not possibly recommend it highly enough. Devin (and I am sure Ellen) will give you a wonderful and unique experience of your life! Book it today! read more

My partner and I have toured with Ellen and Devin twice now, in both Napa and Sonoma. This last time we also took my son, who is the world's biggest critic. Here's what you can expect: 1. Gear. They've got you covered with L2 meters and dowsing rods; however, if you're a ghost hunting nerd like my boyfriend, you're welcome to bring your own. All devices work as expected, and the hosts are careful to explain how electricity from street lights, etc. can interfere. All guests are directed to place their phones on airplane mode (I did this with my Apple Watch as well) 2. History. These are historical tours and the hosts have done their research to provide an authentic educational experience. 3. Participation. You are part of the experience and will be asked to communicate directly with spirits! Both times we had a unique and fun experience. I've taken a ghost tour in Salem, Mass (and my kiddo went on one in Victoria BC with his dad) . I can unequivocally say that you guys are the best!! read more

Fantastic By Far The Best Ghost Tour! I have been interested in the paranormal for awhile now, ten years or more. My husband and I love to travel around the country and when we are on vacation, we'll hop on a ghost tour and learn some history of the city along the way. We've been on a handful of ghost walks. Tonight my husband joined me in a date night adventure ghost tour with Ellen, Devin and a bunch of people from all over the US. Ellen and Devin, they are the real deal! Actual paranormal investigators with first hand account. They brought diving rods, electric energy readers, sound boxes. It was a fun and entertaining experience. HIGHLY recommend!!!! I'm also humbled and grateful to have met these loving people as they really do help spirits that want to cross over and also help people on this side find loved ones. Thank you Ellen and Devin! Much love read more

What an enjoyable tour! I learned a lot about ghosts and techniques to talk with them. It was historical, respectful of the traumatic history of indigenous people, and fun! Our guides were so kind and very knowledgeable. Its not on of those silly role play tours. I was very impressed! read more

Wow! What an exciting night! By far the best ghost tour my family and I have ever been on. We got tons of great stories, history, and info from our awesome tour guide and expert paranormal investigator Devin! Best of all, we got to investigate with him throughout downtown. Not sure I can call myself a skeptic anymore after our tour...There's truly no shortage of activity & excitement in Sonoma. Thanks again to Devin and Napa City Ghosts & Legends for an incredible time. Can't wait to be back! Highly recommend! P.S. I got lots of evidence, some of which I included in the photos attached. For the calm and clear night we investigated, I'm still not sure what all those random foggy streaks are all over the photos I took in the field behind the Mission San Francisco Solano. Maybe its just a trick of the light...? read more

Wow this tour is the real deal no question about it. It was a life changing experience and I 100% have a different view of the afterlife. Such incredibly nice people too. read more

We have been going to ghost tours for years where ever we travel. This one was one of my favorites. The guides were incredibly informative, entertaining, and just a lot of fun to be with. They were open to all questions. They were very patient and open with my kids, one of whom was on his first ghost tour and was a little hesitant. By the end of the night he was a pro, thanks to this tour. Thank you guys for an amazing night! read more

My sister and I really had a great time. Not your typical ghost tour that just tells the history. But it has engaging activities that really lets you know that there are other things around us that we do not see!! read more

I took my 16 year old son for a Ghost Walk with Devin and Ellen on the Sonoma Plaza. We both loved the history and stories we learned. Devin and Ellen have definitely done their research and know the tools of their craft. I think my son was convinced of their gift when they used the spirit box and one little boy ghost called my son by name. I wish we had the time while visiting to go on their other tours in Napa and Vacaville but it's good we have something to look forward to next year. Thanks for sharing your gifts and knowledge with us! read more

Sonoma Plaza Ghost Walk - A tree in downtown Sonoma with some frightening history. - Walking Tours Near Me - Sonoma, California

This tour was a delight. I am not a believer in anything religious nor "ghost," but none of that matters for this tour. Devin is so engaging, so charismatic and just so funny. He has a great sense of humor, too, when it comes to the guests' humorous comments. Regardless of how you feel about ghosts, the supernatural, etc., you can enjoy this tour immensely. Devin seems to approach his tour with "sincerity with a wink." The tour describes some horrific deaths that happened in Sonoma, and those are treated respectfully. Thanks again to Devin for a wonderful evening in Sonoma Square. We had some great laughs and truly enjoyed his and our fellow guests' company. read more

Good Halloween fun on a crisp fall night. Devin was our guide and he did a great job of keeping things interesting and engaging. I imagine your experience would vary depending on the group you're with. Devin handled the true skeptics with as much enthusiasm as the true believers. He even handled the two people in the group who thought they were on their own personal tour (if you know, you know) with unprecedented patience. He kept it funny while being respectful of the history of Sonoma. A spooky good time for Halloween! read more

We joined the Sonoma Plaza Ghost Walk last Friday night, and we had an awesome evening. We learned so much about the history of Sonoma, and we heard about the spirits that still linger there. The tour was a perfect blend of strolling the beautiful streets, being entertained with stories, and interacting with other guests, both seen and unseen. Devon, the guide, was funny and engaging. This is a fun way to end a day in Sonoma. read more

We had a great time w Ellen, Marie and the kids. Missed seeing Devin but, my girls had such a great time. Spooky pictures to boot. I highly recommend if you are interested in hauntings to go check them out! Love and light y'all! read more

This was the coolest experience I've had in long time. My best friends birthday was happening and we had found a deal for tickets on Groupon and oh my god. First of all they have REAL TOOLS you can use like they do in the ghost hunting television shows. Not only do they do a great job telling you stories and the history of the site but you are really interacting with ghosts I truly couldn't believe it. We both experienced some wild situations we had never dealt with before when it comes to the paranormal. You talk to ghosts! They're right! There! Ellen and Devin were so great. They hosted an awesome tour and shared their personal stories and I'm Such a big fan now. Their skills and studies in this science is admirable and I hope for the best in their journey to understand this field. This was such an awesome time. If you're a big ghost dork like me and my bestest, you will have a blast. We've been talking about this experience non stop for like 2 days now and can't wait for the next opportunity to get to do another one. read more
