Unusual stories and knowledgeable guide.

I've been on many haunted tours across many states. I really enjoyed the tour. They go to three sites and really do a deep dive into history. Our guide, Dave, was very entertaining and knowledgeable.

We really enjoyed ourselves! Zelda was a great tour guide with big sense of humor. We learned a lot of cool history about old San Diego and its folklore. One word of advice, wear comfortable shoes and you must be able to walk a few blocks. Fun for all ages, there’s a lot of haunted history here in Old Town San Diego.
