Ghosts & Gravestones Tour San Diego

This was fantastic!! The tour guide was great. She was dressed up and in character. Very knowledgeable about anything we wanted to know. She really made the tour really fun! The tour was also very creepy... but that's the point, now isn't it?

We went at 7:30 on Monday 25 August and we had such a fantastic tour guide (apologies for forgetting her name) and she really made the tour for us! She was so enthusiastic and entertaining in the way that she told the historical stories. Highly recommend this tour!

I took this tour several years ago and enjoyed it. I took it again on 5/4/25, and it will stand out as one of the best tours I have ever taken! Our guide, gravedigger Dave, was amazing! Dressed the part, of course, very knowledgable, providing clear and concise information, patient answering everyone's questions, and genuinely seemed to enjoy his job! I was with 2 of my adult daughters, and we all agreed that it was one of the best tours we'd ever taken! My daughter also took an amazing photo just outside of the Whaley house, attached here.

I had such a great time, and I’m happy I went on the tour. It’s a fun thing to do if you’re in the area. Mau was fantastic, and did a great job with the tour and keeping everyone entertained. I’d certainly recommend checking it out.

We do a LOT of ghost tours, and we were really looking forward to this one. It was mediocre. Not many stops and no "tours" except walking through 2 cemeteries. Only one building was featured - and that was just by walking to the rear of the Whaley House. The guide tried - maybe too hard - to make things intriguing and eerie but the experience wasn't what we've seen in ghost tours at other cities.

While on tour a fellow guest experienced a medical emergency. Our Guide and Driver acted quickly and appropriately to ensure aid without hesitation. Hats off to our guide Antoinette for continuing on with charm and character after our close encounter.

Grave digger Dave really injects a lot of energy into this tour, you can tell he loves his job and makes this a very fun few hours. A lot of Stories felt made up though— I was hoping for dark history of SD, and ended up hearing some of that, but also about bubonic plague and random things. Feedback for tour operators— i think this would benefit from adding a third stop on the trolley… it feels like you are making the effort to drive somewhere but you arrive to an elementary school, and then back on the bus and return where you started, a third location in like a triangle route (even if it’s quick) would make more use of the fact that you have a bus here and not just a walking tour of old town.

My friend and I were looking for things to do while we were in San Diego and saw a brochure for the Ghost and Graveyard Tour. We booked a tour and it was awesome. We saw so many places that had such interesting history. We were lucky and had 2 guides, Bill the Butcher and Jessie Shephard. These two men made this tour fun, entertaining, and exciting.
