Good value if you enjoy historic homes

Published on Jan, 2024

The Whaley House was a good lesson in history for the area. As far as experiencing paranormal activity, when I sat in the first room and the guide started talking, I had full body chills for a few minutes, my lip continued to quiver for several hours. In the main bedroom I was drawn in by a mirror angled perfectly so you see a reflection of a picture hanging, it was a bit puzzling. The home is furnished with beautiful antiques. I was looking at my pictures after and seem to have a dark orb from that room, or is it?

No haunts given

Knowledgeable staff. Lots of stuff to look at. Unfortunately no ghosts to be seen. Probably because it was day time

Evening tour of the Whaley house

Published on Jun, 2023

This tour was so fun & our guide Oakley was amazing. We learned alot of history of the Whaley family & San Diego. We went a 6:40pm, so it wasn’t too dark for the kids.

Great tour, fantastic guide

I travel the world for work and always take ghost and cryptid tours when I can. I booked a tour of the Whaley house while staying in old town. Unfortunately I didn’t see any spirits that night but the guide I had (clementine) is possibly the best ghost tour guide I have ever had. Will definitely tour again hoping to experience more and will request clementine again if possible

My husband and I decided to do the nighttime tour and when we called to change our tickets, they were extremely helpful and so nice. Our tour guide was amazing and made the experience so much more fun! Ask for Bullet!
