My favorite ghost walking tour so far! - Phil was an awesome tour guide! He has incredible knowledge of the island. As well as very scary supernatural stories. I was thoroughly entertained, learned so much, and made sure to check my hotel room for monsters under the bed!

Great Tour - Our tire guide was knowledgeable and knew practically everyone in the island. Not only did we get to visit spots I would have overlooked, but he was able to share many experiences from the locals to his own personal. Worth every penny!

Exceptional Tour - Second tour here; another excellent experience. Phil and Sal are phenomenal, highly recommended. Stories are fascinating. I love the history of the island, but they both convey it in a way that makes these tours the highlight of my experience on the island. Too much to write. Take the tour, you will see!

Haunted Tour - Great presentation . Lots of unknown history about Catalina Island. The stories about what took place both years ago and within 25 years ago were eerie.

What lies beneath will blow your mind!! - Phil was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable as a 5th generation islander. His personal experiences gave credibility to each story he told. My daughter and I take ghost tours in every town we visit and this one by far was the most credible tour guide we’ve ever had! Hang on to him! He admitted this was his 3rd tour, with time he will become more “polished”, but he has the knowledge and experience people would die for!! He was very attentive to the needs of the group and answered all questions honestly. We both enjoyed the night so much and would recommend Phil and this company to anyone visiting… you have no idea what stories this island holds and what lies beneath!!!

Paranormal pictures - It was a fun walk and definitely got the creeps that night. They told us a story about the Casino and how sometimes people will see a woman on the restroom and how sometimes people will se a completely different face in the mirror. Well for me i looked back at the pictures we took inside the casino theatre and two of my pictures my face looks completely different or disfigured. In one it looked like a crazy smile. And on the other one I look like someone completely different! So creepy. If I’m able to post pictures here I will.

Very disappointed in our... - Very disappointed in our tour guide. We never made it to the casino which is we why we bought this tour. The guide told us more about his family and recent murders than paranormal activity. We left the tour early.
