Explore San Diego’s haunted locations and hear lesser-known stories of the Founding Fathers on this adults-only 90-minute walking tour.
About this tour
San Diego’s haunted past holds more than ghost stories. On the Specters and Sinners Walking Tour, eerie locations set the scene for lesser-known tales about the city’s Founding Fathers and the hauntings tied to them.
This adults-only, 90-minute walk offers a thought-provoking way to explore San Diego history through its darker corners. Meet your guide in front of Tivoli, then follow the stories as the city’s haunted places bring the past into focus. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and service animals are allowed. Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, though this is an adults-only tour.
Choose the San Diego Ghost Walking Tour for a distinctive evening of local history and supernatural lore. Bring your confirmation email and get ready to hear the stories that linger after dark.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.74 from 39 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in San Diego
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.8.
