San Francisco Ghost & True Crime Tour
Description
Lors de notre tournée Notorious SF: Ghost & Crime, nous visitons les sites des scandales hollywoodiens, les zones chaudes, les fumeries d'opium, la violence des gangs, les lynchages et les enlèvements de l'époque de la ruée vers l'or – et dégustons des cocktails dans un ou deux bars historiques. Nous commençons par l'affaire Fatty Arbuckle, le scandale sexuel original qui a changé à jamais la perception du public sur la célébrité (et a conduit à la « clause morale » dans les contrats). Ensuite, nous nous promenons dans Maiden Lane, qui est aujourd'hui bordée de boutiques de créateurs, mais qui était il y a 100 ans le principal quartier chaud de la ville. Après cela, nous visitons Chinatown, une zone de fumeries d'opium et de tripots d'autrefois. Ensuite, vous en apprendrez davantage sur SF de l’époque de la ruée vers l’or. Ensuite, nous plongeons vers la côte barbaregique, avec ses bordels et ses salles de danse, souvent utilisées par les marins imprudents de Shanghai (d'où le terme vient). Nous terminons la visite dans le plus vieux bar de San Francisco, le Old Ship Saloon. Rejoignez notre tournée Notorious SF: Scandal & Crime et soyez hanté par ces horribles fantômes du passé de San Francisco pendant des semaines.

Itinéraire
Nous commençons la tournée avec l'affaire Fatty Arbuckle, le tout premier scandale sexuel d'Hollywood (ici dans SF). Ce n'est pas seulement une histoire sinistre - ses effets se font encore sentir aujourd'hui à bien des égards. Si l'hôtel est ouvert, il est possible de prendre un verre dans le très joli bar du hall.
Découvrez une histoire scandaleuse sur la statue au centre d'Union Square.
Découvrez comment cette voie - qui est maintenant une belle rue piétonne, était autrefois le cœur du quartier rouge de San Francisco.
Le quartier chinois de SF est le plus ancien des États-Unis et pendant de nombreuses années, les immigrants chinois ont été fortement discriminés. Les criminels les attaquaient également - les fumeries d'opium, les gangs et les meurtres étaient tous répandus ici. Découvrez certaines des personnalités et des crimes en vous promenant dans les rues.
C'est l'un des plus anciens bars de San Francisco, datant de l'époque où le quartier était connu sous le nom de Barbary Coast. Nous prenons généralement 10 à 15 minutes pour prendre un verre - ne vous inquiétez pas, vous ne serez pas shanghaié !
L'un des rares bâtiments à ne pas avoir brûlé lors du grand incendie était les entrepôts de Hotaling. Est-ce parce que le whisky à l'intérieur était trop important pour être perdu ?
Découvrez comment la ruée vers l'or a fait de SF ce qu'elle est aujourd'hui. Dans ces premières années, c'était le Far West, les meurtres, les vols, les enlèvements - et les lynchages - étaient monnaie courante dans ce quartier.
Ce quartier s'appelait autrefois la côte de Barbarie et il n'y avait pas d'endroit plus dangereux au monde. Vol, agression, shanghai - tout s'est passé ici (mais plus maintenant, ne vous inquiétez pas :-).
C'est le plus ancien bar de San Francisco, construit au sommet d'un navire de la ruée vers l'or abandonné par son équipage en 1849. C'est l'endroit idéal pour terminer la visite.

Jamie was a great tour guide full of great stories. We will definitely do more tours with Jamie! Highly recommend Jamie and can’t wait to do more tours with him
We got a history lesson instead of a ghost/ crime tour. The guide was a fill in. He started the tour telling everyone he doesn’t believe in ghost. We did not follow the itinerary or have any breaks at the bars. I wish I had booked a different tour.
We're really sorry that this guest didn't enjoy the tour, we always strive to make tours fun and interesting, it's why we do this. However there are a few inaccuracies in this review that we would like to correct. We don't know what the reviewer means by saying the guide was a fill in, since the guide does this tour regularly (and enjoys doing it). Guides aren't required to believe in ghosts in order to do the tour, people have different belief systems. What we love at Real San Francisco Tours are ghost STORIES, of which there are several very scary ones on this tour (and which the guide did tell the guests).The tour DID follow the usual itinerary and the guide asked the guests several times if they wanted to take a break in one of the historic bars that we pass, however the group declined. This guest could have told the guide that they wanted to stop and the tour would have done so. We'd really appreciate it if this guest could email us with more information about their experience, so that we can look into the issues in more detail. - Catalina
Jamie was our guide and he did a great job pacing the walking tour. The tour started at Union Square, looped around blocks and alleys, and ended up just south of China Town. There were great crime stories with a little bit of art, architecture, and history included. We heard about the Zodiac killer, Mark Twain, Diego Rivera, and Bruce Lee. We look forward to checking out other tours with Real San Francisco Tours and Jamie.
Hands down the best walking tour I’ve ever been on! I don’t ordinarily take the time to leave a review, but I’ve found myself thinking about how much I enjoyed the tour many times over the last week. Not only did I learn a lot about San Francisco’s history, see far more than I expected, but I also I had a delightful time soaking in its beauty while in great company.
Unfortunately, I’ve had a horrible experience with this company. I was excited for this tour, but no one showed up. I was within the time frame, arrived at 6:02pm. The website clearly states that they will wait 5 minutes for late comers. Another group of 3 people showed up at 6:03pm. So, I hoped maybe the guide was just running late. Waited/looked around the whole area for 15-20min and no one was there. I did try to get a refund but they just fed me lies, saying someone was waiting there for 40min. They then said they would give me 25% off my next ticket! Why would I let them scam me out of more money? They could have at least offered another day for the tour. Honor what you say and if you made a mistake then own up to it!
It's a shame this guest missed the tour, however as they state in this review, they were late for the tour. It doesn't say on our website that we wait 5 minutes for latecomers, it clearly states that if guests are late they may miss the tour and there are no refunds within 48 hours of the tour. We do try and wait at least 5 minutes for late-running guests, however that isn't always possible, hence why we emphasize to guests to be early. Once a tour has started it is very difficult to track down in a busy city like SF. It's the same as booking any other event - we have other guests, 90% of whom ARE on time and DO want to start the tour on schedule. Even so the guide waited for considerably longer than 5 minutes after the start time, but this guest never checked in. He wanted them to join it. We obviously want all of our guests to do the tour they booked. This guest didn't contact us to say that they were running late, which we could have potentially passed onto the guide, instead we first heard from them 10 days after their tour when they demanded a refund. It's important for all potential guests to understand that we're excited to do tours, it's why we organize them and why we have so many 5 star reviews on platforms such as Google and here on TripAdvisor, but we cannot take responsibility for guests getting to the meeting point on time, because it's totally out of our control. All guests need to do to have an amazing experience with us, is just to get to the meeting point before the tour starts (we recommend 15 minutes), and we'll take of all the rest.
We really enjoyed the opportunity to walk the streets with a passionate local who knows so much about the history. We were a single group so Jamie was able to tailor the evening to our interests. Great way to spend our last night in San Francisco
A fun, kind of irreverant look at the city! Great tour for those who have been to SF several times and are just looking for something a little different. Jason was full of interesting tidbits and his stories allowed us to see things we've often seen through another lens.
We learned a lot of neat things about San Francisco. While a few ghost are included, it’s mostly historical. This tour is great for history buffs!
Just to be clear these guests cut short the tour early, since they had flown in that day and said, at the beginning of the tour, that they were tired. That probably explains why they didn't hear all the stories and why they may not have been in the best shape to do the tour. Nevertheless, as we explain in the description, this is a true crime AND ghost tour, not JUST a ghost tour.
My boyfriend and I went on the Saturday night haunted tour. The guide had some great true crime history, which we both loved, as well as some truly scary ghost stories. The other great thing about the tour was that it stopped in a lovely bar from 1900 and ended at the oldest pub in the city. I'd never been to San Francisco before and I'd definitely recommend this tour for first-timers.
Such a fun night! Learned so much about the city that I never knew. Guide was friendly and excited to share his knowledge.
