This bar hop plus ghost tour takes you through the most historic haunts of Gold Rush era San Francisco. We start in the only part of downtown to survive the 1906 Earthquake and Fire - Jackson Square, then cross the infamous “Devil’s Acre,” and end in the legendary Chinatown. There you'll meet the ghosts of desperate miners, forlorn women, and shanghaied sailors... plus a serial killer or two. And unlike a standard ghost tour, we’ll actually enter into four haunted locations where, if you choose, you might sip on that other kind of spirit. Don't see a date that suits you?

The only part of downtown San Francisco to survive the 1906 Earthquake and Fire, Jackson Square Historic District is home to the City's oldest commercial buildings.

What an awesome unique tour! Our guide Jamie was so knowledgeable about historic San Francisco and the bars we went to have great history. It was definitely a fun time and I’d recommend this tour to anyone who loves to learn the unique history of various locations and loves a great cocktail!
Friendly guide. He has a great memory for SF trivia and haunts. It was a spooky good time………………………….
Brilliant night went solo and had a blast great tour from Jamie and great people along for the tour
As a born and raised San Franciscan, this was truly one of the best tours I've ever done. I love to take historic walking tours when I travel, so why not take them at home too? I was incredibly lucky to get a private tour with Jamie and the whole thing was a ✨️VIBE✨️ Jamie clearly has a passion and love for the tours and the history and it absolutely shone through last night. Getting to go inside these places was also a real highlight since many walking tours don't enter all spaces. As a local and someone with a deep family history in San Francisco, THIS is the kind of tour I would not only recommend to my friends who are visiting, but to my local friends as well. 20/10 stars!
Wow! I might frame this review haha. Thank you so so much!
Jamie was brilliant! He made the whole experience come to life and I learned some fascinating things about San Francisco. I must also state that I was slightly concerned about the walking as I use a walking stick - I need not have been concerned and Jamie also checked if I was able to manage. A big five stars! I’d love to repeat next time I visit!
Thanks so much for such a nice review!
Jamie was AMAZING - it was an epic night of fun! He not only introduced us to new bars we’d never been to, but his deep knowledge of the history of San Francisco was beyond impressive - especially related to the occult and creepy and sometimes downright unbelievable events that shaped the incredible city we are fortunate enough to live in. It was fun, educational and left us wanting more! We will be back. Highly recommend to both out of towers and locals for a super fun and informative night out!
That's fabulous! Thanks so much for the review.
Our guide was a born and raised local who had lots of neat stories and history of the city! We stopped at 3 of the oldest pubs in the city. Great experience!
We just went on the Walk With Spirit SF Haunted Pub Crawl with Jamie as our guide. I love all things scary and this tour exceeded my expectations! Jamie made the tour. His knowledge of history and in particular, haunted history was amazing… he is a great story teller! If you’re looking for a good haunted experience with the added plus of a pub crawl, this is your tour. Thanks Jamie!
I had a great evening on this pub crawl! The stories were super engaging, the stops were interesting, and I ended up learning a lot about San Francisco’s darker history. Fun, informative, and definitely worth checking out!
Had a great time checking out a few different places around San Francisco. Each bar was very different, so it was cool to get a variety. We ended the night in China Town when the tour ended, and our group was having such a good time we stayed and had some more drinks!
