Itinerary

  1. Gaslamp Quarter

    Passing by

    On our SD Gaslamp/Downtown Tour you will visit over 30 locations. Experience more locations than our competitors.

    We have Ghosts, Murders, Serial Killers, Gamblers, and Gals of the night. If you like the Bizarre, Obscure & Off the Beaten Path places we’ll take you there.

    On our tour you’ll learn….

    Where Wyatt Earp Lived, Gambled and Drank

    San Diego’s Bizarre Zoo downtown

    An Active Haunted Hotel & Hospital

    The Secrets of the Glass Marble Exchange

    A German Spy Hideout

    The Raids of the downtown Stingaree

    Two Serial Killers of San Diego

    The Death Museum of the past in a likely location

    Bring your walking shoes as we travel to other times and places. Who lived here, died here and still remain? Join us, it's truly dreadful...

  2. Stop 2

    15 min Admission included

    Famous for room 309 and room 209, which are both active. One of the ghosts may be someone you have already heard of, an infamous gunslinger, can you guess who that might be? Visitors still experience mysterious cold chills, footsteps, and glowing orbs.

    Though the rooms are booked consistently preventing us from entering we will take you as close as we can. You'll hear the stories of those rooms and more in the lobby and bar area. You'll also have access to our videos of the rooms themselves. Perhaps after, you'll be moved to book these rooms yourself.

  3. Gaslamp Museum at the Davis-Horton House

    20 min Admission included

    This is the house where people would come to die as it was a hospital of sorts with a dramatic history. Our guests have experienced being pushed around the house with a hand on their back when there is no one behind them and catching mysterious shapes on camera.

215 5th Ave, San Diego, CA 92101

Give yourself an hour to park. Give 40 + minutes for Lyft or Uber just to get you. Order your ride early. Or take the trolley to the convention center and avoid it all. If you get there early don't worry ton to do around there.

Google - "spaces ace parking" or the SpotHero app (95% accurate) to reserve ahead of time. It's very recommended tonight.

Tip nicely if you enjoy the tour.

Use the bathroom before.

Bring a sense of humor, true stories done theatrically.

No clowns will be chasing you around the park; nothing is faked, all real.

Comfortable shoes, please.

It's on!!

Appreciate you - Brian

Lost?

Go down 5th. You'll see the Gaslamp Quarter Arch. Your host will be on the sidewalk by the Starbucks (left side as you approach the arch). They'll be dressed in black or Victorian, you can't miss them. If you go past the arch, you've gone too far.

Appreciate you. Happy hauntings!
