Specters and Sinners Walking Tour

My husband and I went together thinking it would be a fun ghost tour of a few haunted buildings. Boy, were we wrong. I think we were put into the worst social experiment of our lives. We were paraded around the busier parts of downtown while our tour guide very loudly talked about r*pe, m*rder and generally uncomfortable subjects in front of crowded areas. And I want to clarify, our tour guide was projecting so much that their voice echoed off of buildings. Throughout the whole tour, they had a laser pointer which they would unabashedly shine into occupied restaurants and bustling streets. I understand you need to point things out, but let's not blind people maybe? I think a finger will do the job just fine. At one point, we were in front of a bar where people were eating while our tour guide went on and on about how the building was a morgue and super unclean. Another time, when talking about a serial killer, they LOUDLY proclaimed something along the lines of "he would kill the women and then f*ck their dead bodies." Several people were around us during all of these instances. I was so embarrassed that I was actively trying to think of ways to get myself out of the situation. I haven't felt this much social anxiety since high school. It was worse that my husband and I were the only ones in the tour so we had no crowd to hide in. If you are someone who believes that you could never get embarrassed, this will change that. :)

Jon was incredible! Decided to do a quick getaway with my significant other and this was the perfect cherry on top to end our vacation. Thank you for the incredible mix of knowledge and spookiness. #keepJon

We had a great time on the Specters and Sinners Tour in the Gaslamp Quarter during our visit to San Diego. Our guide, Jon, knew all the hot spots to hit and had some fun gadgets that let us know when a spirit was near. He was very engaging and our two teenagers were entertained the whole time. We learned so much and found some new great places to come back and visit next time we're in town! Thank you, Jon!

Jon was an excellent guide! Full of knowledge and great ghost hunting tips! He made the 90 minute tour feel like 30. We learned a lot and now we have a huge list of sites we wish to visit

John was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and so nice! I hope to come back and have another tour with him. Good stuff :))

This tour was terrible, it was just my boyfriend and I and about 10 minutes into the tour I told the guide let’s stop right here. The guide had to read from some cards annd he didn’t really know what he was doing and it just wasn’t a good tour. I was scammed out of $80. This tour wasn’t worth $40 a person. There are better ghost tours out there and this isn’t one of them. I think they lied when they said they have 5 star reviews and that they’re so highly rated. I was going to leave a google review but of course they aren’t there. So idk where these 5 star ratings are coming from.

Dani was excellent! Knowledgeable and engaging. Fun to learn about San Diego history. Like thew story about the horse.

Our guide, Dani, really made this tour an incredible experience! She was super engaging with the group, informative, and threw in lots of jokes. Her presentation was natural and it wasn’t super obvious that she was following a script, unlike other tours I’ve experienced. Overall the whole night was super memorable and informative, next time I have friends in town I’d definitely book a tour with Dani again!

Our guide Kayla was great, interactive, and fun. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an interesting tour of the Gas Lamp area.

It was very interesting . Had a great tour guide who was Katlyn. Was very knowledgeable and would highly recommend her.
