Jamie was awesome and knowledgeable, had a really greatest balance between what could be considered paranormal vs explainable. We had a really spooky occurrence that was not related to any of the stop points, and he let us honor that experience with time and intention to investigate. Honored the historical context.

This walking tour is a fun experience for all ages, especially for people interested in learning a little unknown history of San Francisco. Jaime was friendly and knowledgeable and told stories with just the right combination of enthusiasm and eeriness.

Aliya did a fantastic job bringing San Francisco’s history to life. As a local, I learned so many things I didn’t know and came away with a deeper appreciation and connection to the city’s past. Even if you don’t believe in the supernatural, the old San Francisco stories Aliya shared were truly chilling—and absolutely captivating. I’m not sharing any details here because I don’t want to spoil the experience for future tourgoers, but I highly recommend The Haunt Ghost Tour to anyone interested in discovering San Francisco in a fun, engaging, and memorable way.

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!
