• 5Fun time

  It was a great experience. Our guide had some amazing stories and had some hilarious jokes. I would do it again.

• 5Spiritually productive in a good way, Marisa is adorable as you can be telling these grizzly details

  Marisa was knowledgeable and as adorable as one could be while talking about Danish Ted Bundys and extremely shallow mass burials. She was great. It was…spiritually productive, but never scary. More magical. There were a few orbs that I saw with my naked eye, but many more showed up(in real time and then more later. Do I worry about them staying in there? I don’t worry about anybody getting in there-it’s an iPhone 7) . We got to use dowsing rods and I got in touch with my spiritual protector and a beloved family friend who passed away. He had been my Dad’s best friend(my dad came along with me, I’m not allowed out at night alone until I’m fifty, and I’m only forty-eight:), and my dad(who is generally a “get off my lawn” type of guy) had this twinkle in his eyes. All good, nothing bad. I would do any of the other tours. Marisa was great.

• 5Great tour

  Our guide Casey was fantastic. I loved all of the history he gave us along with the ghost lore which makes the tour very interesting. His use of humor in some areas and quiet respect in others made it very comfortable to be in those areas. Also his use of ghost hunting tools helped to make the entire experience believable and thought provoking.

• 1Tour guide never showed up

  Extremely disappointing and completely unprofessional experience. We arrived on time for our scheduled tour, along with several other guests, and the tour guide simply never showed up. Everyone waited for about 30 minutes hoping someone would arrive, but there was absolutely no communication, no update, and no explanation. Eventually, the entire group gave up and left. What makes this especially disappointing is that this tour company has nearly 5-star ratings across most review sites. We specifically chose to book with them because those reviews gave us confidence that they were reliable and that we would have a great experience. Unfortunately, our experience was the complete opposite. We planned part of our day around this tour and were genuinely looking forward to it. Things happen, and we understand that unexpected circumstances can come up, but leaving an entire group waiting without so much as a message or explanation is unacceptable. We never even got the opportunity to take the tour. Based on our experience, I would not recommend booking unless they improve their communication and reliability.

About Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara is a Spanish-style city on California's central coast, set between the Pacific and the Santa Ynez Mountains.

Santa Barbara sits on a south-facing shore with the Santa Ynez Mountains rising right behind it. After an earthquake in 1925, the city rebuilt in a uniform Spanish Colonial Revival style, with white walls, red tile roofs and arches, and the County Courthouse, with its clock tower and mural room, is a showpiece of the style. Old Mission Santa Barbara, founded in 1786 and known as the Queen of the Missions, stands on a hillside above town.
