Call Or Text 619.255.6170What A Private Night Includes
Your Group, Your Night
Call or text and we will build it with you. That is genuinely how it works, there is no form to fill in.
We Go Inside
This is not a sidewalk tour. You step inside historic hotels and buildings the national chains walk past, at more sites than any other San Diego tour.
Victorian Hosts
Costumed hosts who know dark San Diego history properly. They do not jump out at anybody. That is not the tour.
Tailored To Your Group
More ghosts and less true crime, or the other way round. Tell us who is coming and we will set the tone before you arrive.
Small Party Or Large
From a handful of people to a large group. Tell us the number when you call and we will tell you how we would run it, including volume pricing.
School And Corporate
We run private walks for schools, teams and companies. The content is adjusted for the group, and we will be straight with you about what fits.
