I am out of town this week with limited connectivity (nature preserve) so please read everything as I may not be able to help personally
With your pass, you can choose any of our tours listed below—even if your pass says something different.
If your pass lets you do multiple tours, go for it! Otherwise, pick the one that excites you most.
TL;DR: You will not be charged if you show up. This is just a safety measure.
We’re a small local business, and unfortunately, we’ve had a lot of no-shows from discount pass customers in the past. That hurts.
So here’s how it works:
Booking is FREE.
You won’t be charged anything when you book.
We have to have a credit card to hold your spot.
This is to protect small local businesses like ours from last-minute no-shows.
No-show? Or cancel under 12 hours?
Then we charge $35 per person.
Show up? You’re good. No charge.
We’ll just scan your pass and get you spooked / history in style!
We wish we didn’t need this policy. But no-shows take away spots from other guests and cost our small business time, energy, and revenue. Even your pass company recommends this approach — it’s standard across the industry now.
Thanks for understanding and supporting San Diego’s real local tours.
| Action | Charged? |
|---|---|
| You show up | No charge |
| You no-show | $35/person |
| Cancel < 12 hours before | $35/person |
| Pass doesn’t work | $35/person |
Booking is free. As long as your pass is valid and you attend, we won’t charge you.
Select the slot that works best for you.
If we don’t have enough people yet, your booking will show as “pending.” Many tours fill up the day of, so stay tuned!
Once confirmed, you’ll get an email. Bring your QR codes or vouchers—we’ll scan them when you arrive or you will redeem in front of the host.
Reminder: we do not generate your codes. Get those from whoever sold you your pass.
Make sure we have a good number for you. This is a MUST. If something surprising comes up we will text not email. If you have a group give us the number of whomever is most active on their phone please.
After you book, read your confirmation email carefully. It has very important details. Do not reach out to us with questions that are covered in the email please, this our life too.
We’re excited to show you the spooky & historic side of San Diego. Thanks for reading all this—it helps everything run smoothly.
See you on the dark side!
While we can not afford to run discounted tours every day – we are often running our full price tours. You are welcome to shoot me a text around 5pm and we may be able to upgrade you or sneak you on. 619.255.6710. Not guaranteed at all, you will have to get lucky.
Expectations
No clowns chasing you down the street or monsters jumping at you – this is all real stuff.
Our stories are historian-verified and true but done theatrically with jokes, a sense of humor is a must. Do not go if you want a serious presentation.
Tip nicely if you enjoy the tour. Please be generous to your host.
Use the bathroom before.
Show 15 minutes early.
Make sure I have your code(s).
Comfortable shoes, please.
There are limited spots available, and as a result our tours can sell out fast! Tickets often sell out quickly as the day progresses. An unbooked tour at noon might be sold out by 4 PM. Act now—cancellations are rare.
Please book before 4 PM on the day you’d like to join us (the sooner, the better) to ensure we meet our minimum of 10 pass holding guests.
