Amazing tour guide - Had a fun night out in the city. our guide Aliya for the ghost tour was spectacular, she kept us all entertained and spooked. Very informative about the history of San Francisco, which we very much enjoyed. Will definitely do it again, or maybe in another city.

A Spooky, Interactive Adventure Through Chinatown's Haunted History - I took the Chinatown Ghost Tour last night and had an absolute blast. Our guide, Aliya, was energetic, engaging, and very passionate about the paranormal and dark history of this neighborhood.
The stories of spirits and sinister happenings spanning over a century were creatively told through a mix of lore, historical facts, and unnerving personal accounts. Aliya involved the group with high-tech ghost-hunting gadgets like EMF detectors, dowsing rods, and spirit box radio, allowing us to "communicate" with resident spirits. Her occasional dry wit and humor punctuated the eerie atmosphere perfectly.
The tour takes you through lesser-known alleys and corners as you uncover the secrets of Chinatown's most haunted spots. I highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking an interactive, spooky, and fascinating night out in San Francisco! I'll definitely be coming back and bringing friends along for the chilling fun. Five stars to The Haunt Ghost Tours - don't miss out!

Exciting trip through downtown - I went with my three children ages 10,11, and 16. They had an amazing time. Aaliyah was very attentive, fun and engaging! She has an awesome positive vibe that radiates! This might be the reason she is the perfect person for this type of thing. My kids all felt involved and had an amazing time. Thank you for a unique experience!

Scary good time! - What fun!!
We were a little undecided about it this-especially since we couldn’t decide if the Ghost Tour would be appropriate for the kids but we gave it a try and so glad we did!
We had such a great time! The tour guide, Jaime, introduced himself and gave us all magnetic detectors in search for ghosts. We had a great time, lots of laughs and a little history in between. Kids loved it!
Do it!!

Fun tour of SF’s “bad old days” - I love city walking tours. This one offered a unique look and perspective of SF. We used to live here years ago, and we went with a couple who live here now. We all learned something, saw sights we had never seen before and had fun. Enjoyed the stories of when SF was the Barbary Coast. Jamie, our guide, was fun and informative.

Great stories! - Thanks Jamie! Jamie was our tour guide & he was excellent. Very informative and took his time to guide us throughout S.F. Though we didn't see any ghosts we did get a few warm to hot readings on our (energy detector provided by Jamie) & a few light posts flickering.
