Our guide Eric was engaging

Our guide Eric was engaging, personable, informative, and a lot of fun! The pace of the tour was just right and his telling of the history and ghost stories was compelling. We'd take another tour with Eric in a heartbeat!

Our guide was delightful

Our guide was delightful. Full of good ghost stories. Your company needs to be more explicit about the amount of walking required on the tour. Climbing up Nob Hill is not for the faint of heart! I am 78, and I barely made it.

First time in San Francisco and decided to do a ghost tour. It was fun, and good way to walk around the city and learn about its haunting history. Our tour guide April did a great job explaining the dark history surrounding the city.

Knob Hill neighborhood ghost tour

Informative historical/ghost tour led by Gabrielle. The tour was genuinely spine tingling at one point for me. She gave us our money’s worth!

A date with a man, Mike, and his dog, Oakley.

Well, what made this experience so worth while, is the fact, a City, that's so full of historical importance, to our countries, real stories, of wealth, want, desire, and failure, was what made it so unique to my wife and I . San Francisco, in my opinion, is the mystical place that Europeans, of all classes, wished they could visit, if only for a whisp, of a moments thought. San Francisco was like the City of OZ. It was the answer to all the dreams of, hope, and desire, only to be brought back to reality that San Francisco, is a dream come true to those that wished it, and a nightmare to some, who lived it.

A Must-do!

On October 11th a group of friends and I did the Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl — we had the BEST time! Our tour guide, Mike, and his puppy partner, Oakley, were kind and fun. They took us to local bars I had never been to, even as someone who grew up in the Bay Area. The spooky history we learned was exciting and unforgettable. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

Our guide was spectacular

Our guide was spectacular and so knowledgeable. She blended the history of the city she obviously lives with the ghost stories and did a great job. She had to make adjustments around a couple of places that were closed or had live music and the tour was still seem less.
