About Haunted San Diego Ghost Tours

If you want to support local small business, well we would be the definition of that. While our main competitors are massive corporate conglomerate we are the opposite, a very small business. We tour because we love to and we love the expression on our guest face when we have done a tour well. It’s a rush. We are San Diego Haunted Ghost Tours. We’ve also been called the cities best “Dark History Tour.” and “Best Ghost Tour”.

We get these because we care and we want to be the best. Fun Fact: I usually takes around 4 months to train a host.

San Diego is considered by many to be the “Most Haunted City in the West”, and we are San Diego's best ghost tour.

Haunted San Diego Ghost Tours has been entertaining guests for over 15 years. We got into this because we’re passionate history buffs who love exploring the supernatural side of our city. We are a small, “mom and pop” operation—locally owned, operated, and dedicated to bringing a true San Diego perspective to your experience.

This isn’t a national chain cattle-call.

We believe ghost stories are best shared, not shouted. That’s why we keep our group sizes intimate. While many tours in SD will pack 35 or more people into a single group, we refuse to do that. We feel no one can provide a true audience connection with tours that large. We want to look you in the eye as we guide you through the history and the dark.

It must be working. Our tour has been named “San Diego’s Best Ghost Tour” and we are the highest rated haunted adventure in town according to our many Yelp reviews. We are listed as #33 of 280 things to do in San Diego on TripAdvisor and have top reviews there as well! Plus top reviews on Google and Facebook.

Time to get your hands dirty and investigate what is really going on…

Our Style: Creepy, Not Cheesy

We’re known for disturbing stories and authentic, well-researched history, all served with a heavy dose of sarcastic, cheesy humor. (Think Ash from The Evil Dead or your favorite 80s action hero’s comebacks).

Let’s be very clear: We don’t do jump scares. Ever. You will not find costumed actors leaping out of the shadows.

Our tours are designed to be spooky and creepy, not terrifying. The chills come from the true stories and the eerie atmosphere of the locations, not from cheap theatrics.

If you’re looking for a horror-house experience or don’t appreciate humor mixed with your haunts, these may not be the tours for you.
