Great Tour, Highly recommend - We did the SF Ghost Hunt Walking Tour with our guide Christian and had such a great time! We were a party of 8 (the whole family, including our 12-year-old), and Christian made the experience perfect for everyone in our group. He was funny from start to finish, while also sharing tons of interesting history and lore about San Francisco's haunted spots. You can tell he really knows his stuff! His outfit for the tour was outstanding too, definitely added to the spooky fun vibe. We didn't encounter any ghosts (haha), but it didn't matter one bit the tour was entertaining, informative, and a great way to see the city from a totally different angle. Perfect for families, even with kids in the group! Highly recommend Christian and this tour. You won't regret it!

Perfectly Spooky (Even for a 10-Year-Old!) - We had such an amazing experience with SF Ghost Hunt that I had to share! I was honestly a little worried going in that it might be too scary for my 10-year-old, but it ended up being their absolute favorite part of our spring break. Christian was an incredible tour guide and clearly someone with years of ghost-hunting experience, and it showed. His narrator voice was so engaging that you couldn’t help but hang on every word, wanting to hear more and more stories as we moved through the tour. Even though we didn’t have an actual ghost sighting, there were definitely moments where the hair stood up on the back of our necks as Christian brought the history, and the spirits to life in such a vivid way. He struck the perfect balance between spooky and fun. What really stood out was how personal the tour felt, even with other people in the group. It never felt crowded or rushed. The price was also very fair for the overall experience we received, and the walking and time absolutely flew by. We were so enthralled we didn’t even realize how long we’d been out! And as a bonus, Christian's dad jokes and puns were top-tier and kept us giggling throughout the night! Highly recommend this tour for families, even with kids, you won’t regret it.

San Francisco Ghost Tour - I insisted on a ghost tour on my recent trip to San Francisco and Christian Cagigal’s tour was nothing short of amazing. We met in front of The Healing Center underneath a set of impressive eucalyptus trees. Christian is a self-admitted septic and amazing historian. With a sense of humor and while remaining neutral he led us to several spots of purported haunting sadness. I was impressed with the histories of amazing pioneer women of San Francisco. There was definitely a feeling of eerie anticipation in the areas we stopped at, and Christian even related accounts and anecdotes from members of the communities , both far and in recent times. I left with my curiosity piqued. And I received a set of reference materials to further my education. This hour and a half tour is perfect for you if you are interested in a knowledgeable and easy to follow tour guide, a pleasant evening walk and the histories and mysteries of this culture-rich city. I highly recommend and would visit other events led by Christian . The hills are alive !

Fun for visitors and locals - As a local San Franciscan it was great to wander around a less touristy part of the city and learn so much about places and historical figures rarely discussed.
