Itinerary

  • Larkin House

    Larkin House, built in the 1830s by Thomas Larkin, is one of Monterey’s oldest and most haunted landmarks. The spirit of Larkin’s wife is said to roam the halls, with visitors reporting cold spots and the sound of footsteps when no one is around. The house’s history as a social hub during California’s early days seems to have left a few guests behind.

Excellent tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Excellent tour guide. This tour was within walking distance of our hotel. Our guide shared many stories about Old Monterey. We had a great tip. Highly recommend this tour.

Amazing tour guide

Published on Dec, 2024

Are tour guide was amazing. He was a great storyteller and really knew his history. I don't remember his name but I remember that he's high school history teacher and has written several books on the history of Monterey. He really made the experience great for us and our grandchildren. Even the 7-year-old boy, who normally can't sit through an entire movie, was mesmerized.

A fun retelling of ghost history
