About Us

Local. Loyal. A Little Possessed.

This isn’t a chain. It’s our city, our ghosts, our stories. This isn’t just another walking tour—it’s a hometown haunting..

The Dark Side of San Diego… Told by Its Own.

If you’re looking to support local—truly local—we’re it. No suits, no scripts, no national tour chains. Just a tiny San Diego team that lives for haunted history and the thrill of a well-told tale.

We’ve been called the city’s best ghost tour. Some say “Dark History Tour” fits us better. We say thank you—and then get back to work.

It takes us about four months to train a host. Why? Because we care. And because delivering chills is an art form.

San Diego is considered by many to be the “Most Haunted City in the West”, and we are San Diego's best ghost tour.

San Diego—what a lovely place to live… and an even better place to haunt.

At Haunted San Diego Ghost Tours, we’ve been guiding curious souls through the city’s darkest corners for since 2006. We’re not just tour guides—we’re local historians, supernatural enthusiasts, and lifelong San Diegans who adore this city’s secrets.

We’re a small, independent “mom and pop” operation—locally owned and operated. No corporations. No cookie-cutter scripts. Just authentic stories, real history, and a deeply personal connection to San Diego’s haunted past.

Unlike the ghost tour giants who often herd 50 or more through the streets, we still believe in something a bit more… personal. While our groups may reach up to 30, we aim for a sweet spot around 20. Big enough for energy, small enough for connection. After all, a true ghost story deserves eye contact—not a bullhorn.

We’ve been called “San Diego’s Best Ghost Tour”, and our guests agree. With hundreds of glowing reviews across Yelp, TripAdvisor, Google, and Facebook, we proudly hold our place among the highest-rated haunted experiences in the city. Go and check for yourself, the ratings will back us.

We’re not here to scare you with costumes. We’re here to thrill you with truth.

So… gather your courage. Summon your friends. And book your place among the departed.

Call now or book online to reserve your plot…we mean SPOT today!

Ready to peel back the veil and see what truly lurks beneath?

We’re famous—or perhaps infamous—for our disturbing tales, rich historical research, and a healthy serving of sarcastic, slightly cheesy humor. Think Ash from The Evil Dead or your favorite 80s action hero with a lantern in one hand and a quip in the other.

There are no jump scares here. No one’s leaping from the shadows in costume. But don’t get too comfortable—people still get spooked. We call it creepy and atmospheric… not terrifying.

If you’re seeking blood-curdling screams and horror house theatrics, this may not be your tour. But if you enjoy spine-tingling stories, ghostly ambiance, and dark humor laced between the legends—well, we’ve been dying to meet you.
