Jamie was knowledgeable and fun. We learned a lot about the city and historical events. It’s was a creepy and fun way to help get my steps in while hanging with a friend.

Our guide Aliya was wonderful. Ghost stories, SF history, photos, EMF meters, & chills. The amount of info was just right. The walk is easy but wear comfy shoes and bring a sweater - cool at nights!

If you like history and getting to know the place you're visiting then this is a great experience! You get to hear some local stories that you wouldn't get from a regular tour which makes this a unique experience. Jamie was a great tour guide/ paranormal investigator, very friendly and open to questions. Great experience!

We had an amazing experience with Rose our tour guide. She was so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of San Francisco, and engaging with all of the ghost stories. We would highly recommend Ghost Hunt and Rose as your guide every time!

Mac was wonderful! Our friend group decided to give this tour a try. As Bay Area natives we didn’t know what to expect and were delighted to learn very interesting SF history and stories. Highly recommend!

Great tour! Aliya was great- engaging, funny and a true believer, not just an actor leading a tour. Very informative, and as a native who has always enjoyed S.F.'s history, I can attest to her accuracy (as far as dates and facts go... I just take her word for the paranormal bits). It's a really fun way to spend an evening.
