San Francisco’s Gold and Ghouls Tour pairs haunted tales, Nob Hill landmarks, and local history on a steep 90-minute night walk.
“This was a very negative experience. It did not specify that the walking would be up incredibly steep hills making the tour inaccessible for 2 of our party. We were only made aware of this after the first 10 minutes in tour so we left. I requested a refund as this information should have been provided prior to purchase, however Viators customer service refused. I do not advise booking with them as the customer service is very poor in the situation that you need help or have an issue.”
Explore San Francisco’s haunted past on a funny, fact-based Lower Nob Hill walk with local guide Christian Cagigal.
“I insisted on a ghost tour on my recent trip to San Francisco and Christian Cagigal’s tour was nothing short of amazing. We met in front of The Healing Center underneath a set of impressive eucalyptus trees. Christian is a self-admitted septic and amazing historian. With a sense of humor and while remaining neutral he led us to several spots of purported haunting sadness. I was impressed with the histories of amazing pioneer women of San Francisco. There was definitely a feeling of eerie anticipation in the areas we stopped at, and Christian even related accounts and anecdotes from members of the communities , both far and in recent times.…”

“Jamie is a local historian with deep knowledge of supernatural and oft gruesome Bay area lore. He has a talent for storytelling and creating dialogue with clients. As a sailor and westcoaster, my favorite part was learning about the changing shorelore associated with the Maritime history stop. Mick was flexible and responsive in rebooking our tour when a flight was delayed and we couldnt make the orignial booking date. Small, local company providing superior service and experience.”
