Monterey's Dark Secrets: A Haunting Ghost Walk Adventure

Adam being a local was very knowledgeable about Monterey history. We enjoyed seeing in hearing about the history of this beautiful town.

Part history, part ghosts, but all exciting! Our tour guide (Ari?) did a great job and was friendly and did a good job with a smaller group. Would recommend!

First, the meeting place was difficult to find. Although the address was provided, it was still hard to find and caused us stress that we’d miss the tour. The tour itself was OK, not great. The guide was also OK. The local history was interesting but overall we didn’t find it that exciting. If you’re into this kind of thing, maybe it’s spot on.

It was very educational but fun. The stories were great Adam was very passionate and animated. Would go again for additional stories

Our tour guide, Kendra, was fantastic. She had a wealth of knowledge about Monterey’s local history and shared it with great enthusiasm. I was impressed by how much she knew—and how she made sure her stories were accurate and well-researched. The “ghosts and goblins” portion wasn’t overly scary; it was more about recounting real people and their unfortunate fates throughout the area’s past. I’ve taken many haunted tours (we try to do one on every vacation), and Kendra was truly top-notch when it came to her historical insight and storytelling. I learned a lot of fascinating facts about Monterey that I wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. If you’re in the mood for an evening walk filled with local history and a few spooky tales, I highly recommend this tour.

It was so much fun, an easy walk with tons of history to learn about too! The guide was incredible and friendly. I only wish I knew there were upgrades available, those did not show on TripAdvisor

Host was very knowledgeable. Enjoyable tour and learned plenty of past stories. Not too scary should you think of taking young children.

This was a fun and easy thing to do on a pleasant evening for a stroll. Guide Louie was engaging and friendly, walk was calm-paced and on even terrain. Setting aside any truth to haunted stories, there is some history to learn in an amusing way. Note; the GPS address of starting point - 570 Pacific St - puts you at the corner of Madison & Dutra, while the group was gathering at the other end of the plaza at Colton Hall. This caused some confusion at the start. This tour did not stop at Monterey Hotel, though the guide did address the hotel when a couple of guests mentioned they were staying there.

Our tour guide was excellent on the 8pm tour we enjoyed her knowledge and the passion in her experience.

Adam gave an entertaining informative tour of old Monterey history and ghosts. He is very articulate and educated about this subject. This tour is very enjoyable and well worth taking.
