Spooky Solvang Ghost Hunting & History Tour
Description
Use real ghost hunting gear and learn of Solvang's haunted past, with creepy stories collected from locals. We're the original ghost tour, with a haunted adventure taking you through Solvang's charming streets and historic Danish-style buildings. Using professional ghost-hunting tools like EMF meters, dowsing rods, and a Spirit Box, you’ll get hands-on as you search for signs of the supernatural. Hear strange stories of haunted bakeries, ghostly restaurant patrons, and spirits that still linger behind the village’s cozy façade. Blending folklore, history, and interactive ghost hunting, this tour offers a fun, spooky, and surprisingly thoughtful way to explore Solvang. We’ll wrap up with a closing ritual to honor the energies we’ve encountered and ensure a peaceful parting. Recommended for ages 12+ due to mature themes, including serial killers, brothels, and true crime.

My sister-in-law and I spent a few days in Solvang and decided to book the ghost tour just for fun—and we’re so glad we did! It was such a fun, unique, and delightful experience. The tour was incredibly entertaining, and we truly felt like we were starring in our own little ghost-hunting adventure show! 👻 Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Solvang. It’s a fun experience you won’t want to miss!
Tour was an interesting mix of little know ln town facts and ghost stories. The one thing I would change is give people the option to carry a small flaslight vs. an EMF device that really doesn't add any real value. Asking groups of people, some of whom are 50+, to walk in the dark with only the guide's flashlight is a risk -- lighting is poor for those that are not right behind the tour guide and guests are unfamiliar with the streets, sidewalks, alleys, etc. and could trip and fall.
Hello! Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're glad you found the mix of local facts and ghost stories interesting. We appreciate your suggestion about flashlights to improve safety for future tours!
Casey was engaging and very knowledgeable! Super fun tour!

Hi Diana, thanks for the awesome review! So glad you had a great time with us. Hope to see you again in another city!
Lovely evening walking tour - lots of history and fun. Good way to see where all the notable shops and restaurants are without the daytime crowds. Great tour guide!
Hi, we're so glad to hear you had a great time! Your thoughtful review is much appreciated. We hope to see you again in the not-too-distant future!
Casey was awesome! He made the tour interesting and had a great sense of humor!
Thanks Roni, your words mean the world to us! We hope to have the pleasure of your company on another adventure soon :)
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but our guides made the experience fun and informative. I went on tour with my mom, sister and niece and we all had a great time and they’re thankful I saw this advertised on the site.
Sylvia, thanks for your glowing words! It's guests like you that make every night worth it. Hope to see you on another eerie adventure soon!
We enjoyed the ghost walk. She had different tools to measure the spirits that were interesting. The walk was a good amount of time and about about an hour and a half. I would recommend this as there's nothing else to do in solving at night.
So thrilled by your feedback! It's wonderful to know our efforts are resonating with our guests. We can't wait for your next visit with us.
This was GREAT. This was our 2nd tour with Ryan, we did the true crime and wine the night before. He was amazing, funny and we had a great date night activity while learning about the history and haunts of Solvang. DEFINITELY recommend.
Hi there! Reading your review was a highlight of our day! Thank you for being an integral part of our experience. Looking forward to greeting you again soon!
My first time in Solvang. Booked the tour. Group of 6 with 3 tour guides, total 9 people. On this occasion, 2 of the guides were learning/practicing to be a tour guide. The tour advertisement stated the guide would be using a microphone. There was no microphone; thus, the trainees had very low voices. It was hard for me to hear. It was even harder for my husband since he has one defective ear. We missed details for sure, making it NOT a full experience for my husband and I. While I understand the trainees need the practice, we did not get a discount for it. Overall, it was an experience that I do recommend to others.
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry your experience fell short, especially not being able to clearly hear the stories and fully enjoy the spooky atmosphere. We'd love the chance to make it right. Please contact us directly at info@thehauntghosttours or 415-446-1580, and we'll happily offer you a 2-for-1 ticket for one of our other experiences. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We hope to welcome you back for a much better experience.
