Highlights

Established in 1998, this is San Francisco's first and original haunted history walking tour, led by international performer and local favorite – Christian Cagigal. You will thrill to this lantern-lit adventure through San Francisco's ghostly past and see its most notorious haunted places. You will walk one mile on tree-lined streets in a safe residential area with fine Victorian architecture. There is one moderate hill, the pace is easy, and the views are spectacular. You'll enjoy 90 minutes of history and fun!  Highlights include: Poltergeists at the Chambers Mansion, the corpse in a barrel of rum at the Atherton Mansion, the ghost bride of California Street, the powerful woman who supported the Underground Railroad in San Francisco, and more. Your guide: Christian Cagigal is a Bay Area native and a lecturer of haunted history. He's performed across the globe as a magician and storyteller, and is a featured performer at the famous Magic Castle in Hollywood.

About San Francisco

San Francisco crowds steep hills onto a peninsula between the Pacific and its bay, with cable cars, the Golden Gate Bridge and colourful neighbourhoods.

The Golden Gate Bridge spans the strait at the mouth of the bay, often wrapped in fog, and walking or cycling across it is a classic. Boats cross to Alcatraz, the former island prison, while Fisherman's Wharf is known for seafood and the sea lions that bask on the docks of Pier 39. The Ferry Building is a food lover's market.

Top-ranked sights in San Francisco: Golden Gate Bridge, Union Square, San Francisco Chinatown.
