A Ghoul Night in Santa Barbara - My daughter and I had such a memorable experience on the Paranormal Pairing wine and ghost tour in Santa Barbara. Professor Julie is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the area, and she brings it to life with fascinating stories and compelling photos of paranormal events that truly draw you in. What made the tour especially unique is how interactive it is—Julie genuinely enjoys hearing about her guests’ own paranormal experiences and thoughtfully weaves some of those stories into future tours, which adds a personal and ever-evolving element. Beyond her expertise, Julie has a wonderful personality. She’s warm, engaging, and an exceptional storyteller who keeps you captivated the entire time. The combination of local history, eerie tales, and great wine makes for a really special evening. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone interested in the paranormal—or just looking for a unique and entertaining night in Santa Barbara. My daughter and I are already looking forward to trying more of Julie’s tours the next time we’re in town.

Paranormal Pairing - My wife and I do a lot of ghost tours. Julie is a wonderful, knowledgeable guide who spends a lot of time with her tours explaining the haunted history of Santa Barbara. The wine is delightful and Julie is a great companion and generous with her time. We will attend again!

- Absolutely incredible tour provided by Julie. Truly, one of the most fascinating and entertaining tours I've taken - and I make a point to try a ghost tour in every new city I visit. I was so enamored by Julie and her incredible knowledge base of Santa Barbara's history as well as its spooky side, I feel completely compelled to share this with everyone who's considering the tour (...six months later). Thank you Julie! We can't wait to come visit again.

Perfect tour of the Santa Barbara City Center - Julie Brown, our guide, is a charming and super knowledgeable expert of Santa Barbara history. She combined her ghost stories with the rich and quirky history of the area to make it a wonderful tour of downtown Santa Barbara. Can’t wait to do the other tours!

Excellent tour of untold Santa Barbara history - Excellent tour. I grew up in California and she taught me more history than 13 years of formal education. Doesn’t matter if you are a ghost believer or not. Just go for the history lesson and learn about good places to eat and drink in Santa Barbara. Only accept Julie Brown as your guide!

Wine and Ghosts - great combo - We had an amazing time with Julie, who was an insightful tour guide. We had wine at Frequency winery near the post office. Great wine and ghost stories. Julie was very welcoming and you could tell that she loves Santa Barbara as much as she loves its ghosts. All in all a great experience. Definitely a must try.
