We had a great time exploring the Gas…

We had a great time exploring the Gas Lamp District with Levantino.

Levantino was a wealth of knowledge about the history and the area and told his stories in a great and engaging way. It's always awkward at first when have total strangers meet up but Levantino was engaging and was able to help us break the ice with the other couple in our group.

Levantino asked what motivated us to take the tour and was great about tailoring the tour to focus on the things the group was interested in.

At the end, Levantino provided us with suggestions about the area and San Diego to help us enjoy our trip even more.

Excellent job Levantino!

Enjoyed the tour

Enjoyed the tour - guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Only suggestion- we recently went on a Haunted Fullerton tour - the guide had a tablet with historical photos of buildings and inviduals - really helped to put a face to names and to give an idea what various buildings/ sites looked like years ago.

Informative

My tour guide (Dave) was really informative and very passionate.
The tour was 1 1/2 hours and very informative
Honestly I don’t believe in ghosts but I do believe I captured a figure in one of my pictures.
I will definitely do this tour again

Wonderful experience!

Wonderful experience!

It was honestly such a fun time, getting to walk around the town and hear all the wonderful ghost stories! Our guide, Amelia, was SO fun to talk to and very detailed! She always made sure to answer any questions we had! Even if you don't believe in the stories themselves, it's a good time to learn more about San Diego and experience the night life! I definitely recommend if you have an hour to kill!

I honestly forgot my tour guides name but she was the best! She’s a SD local, has red ish hair I think, and she’s a middle school teacher, she is the absolute best person to make history engaging. Would recommend her to anyone , it was just myself, my boyfriend and her which made it even more interactive . Very nice woman!

San Diego Ghosts - A great tour you can't miss!

San Diego Ghosts was a great company to work with. It was so easy to sign up for the tour, and the directions and information provided were spot on. The price is so inexpensive for this type of tour. Because we were in an unfamiliar city, we got a little lost looking for the meet-up location. I wasn't able to get ahold of them by phone but received a text quickly asking us to contact them if we still needed help. Dave, our tour guide, was fantastic! He was entertaining and had so many great stories and information about the area. It was evident he was very passionate about the area and the stories. We had signed up for the hour tour plus the 30-minute add-on. Our tour was 3 hours! It was fantastic! He did tell us that any time we wanted to drop out, we were more than welcome to (it is a lot of walking!!). One lady in our group chose to order an Uber and leave early. Dave made sure that she was safely in the Uber before we continued on. I would not hesitate to go on another tour with this group if I am ever back in San Diego.

The tour guide by far

The tour guide by far. If there are other areas of ghosts, I’d recommend making a tour away from the party scene. It kind of took away from the atmosphere

Fernando was a fantastic guide, with facts of spooky history and mystery in equal measure! We brought our teenagers for the tour and they had a blast!

I liked that it was a small group so it made the experience more personal. We did 1 out in FL and loved it so we looked for 1 in our hometown. The only thing that would make it a perfect is we were able to go inside at least 1 building.

We're glad to hear you enjoyed the experience overall! We definitely understand wanting to explore the locations more--unfortunately at this time, we are unable to enter any privately owned properties. However, we're glad your guide still provided a great tour!
