What a blast! - What a fun experience. As a San Diego native, I love hearing about our local history. Leila made that a ton of fun! She's a sweetheart and a sassy, excellent storyteller. The waterfront is beautiful at night, and it was a blast to be by the water and hear the spooky and gruesome stories of San Diego's early days. Fun for locals and visitors alike!

Quick fun ghost tour - It was fun and informative about the history of the harbor area and the ships in it. I would recommend this tour for younger teens. it wasn't to scary but still had some spooky feel to it.

Great tour guide, but didn't get what we paid for! - Our tour guide, Leila, was awesome. She was friendly, sweet, very nice, and very knowledgeable, she did a great job. However, the ad that the company ran about this tour, was very misleading, we did not get to do a ghost hunt like the ad stated or use ghost hunting tools, like the ad stated, which my kids were super excited for and then let down. I feel like we definitely did not get what we paid for, that part we are disappointed in.
