A Tale of Tino, Keeper of Ghostly Lore - Gather ye close, good gentles all, and hearken to a tale of marvels wrought beneath the starry vault of San Diego’s skies. In an age not far past, I did set forth upon a journey through the streets and alleys of that fair city, seeking knowledge of phantoms and whispers from beyond the mortal veil. Mine heart was brave, yet curious, for tales of hauntings had reached mine ears. And so it was that I found myself in the company of a ghostly fellowship, guided by none other than Tino, the Keeper of Ghostly Lore. Lo, Tino be a man of noble spirit and quick wit, whose tongue floweth with stories as a river runneth swift. His knowledge of San Diego’s haunted past is as deep as the ocean and as bright as the moon upon dark waters. By lantern light and under shadows long, Tino led us to places most wondrous and dread: 👻 The Yuma Building, whose very stones do whisper secrets of sorrow and unseen wraiths. 👻 The Horton Grand Hotel, where restless spirits pace silent corridors, and Tino’s voice conjureth their tales as though they stood before us in flesh and shade. 👻 The Old City Hall, where deeds of yore lie buried ‘neath dust and time, yet rise anew at Tino’s bidding. And many more places whose names are writ in the secret annals of the city, revealed unto us by Tino’s craft. Ne’er in all my travels have I met a guide such as he. Kind is he, and merry, with a laughter that warmeth the coldest night. He answereth all questions with patience and delight, and holdeth his audience spellbound with words woven fine as silk. In his telling, the dead do speak, and the past doth live once more. Thus do I swear upon my honor: whosoever desireth an eve of wonder, of history and hauntings entwined, must needs seek this noble company. And if fate be kind, may Tino be thy guide. For in truth, he is a master of his craft, and a friend to all who walk beside him. So ends my tale. Go forth, brave souls, and seek the ghostly paths of San Diego—for therein awaiteth marvels untold!

Incredible Experience—Even as a Local! - Such an amazing tour! As a San Diego native, I was blown away by how much I didn’t know about the city’s haunted history. Our guide Tino was engaging, fun, and full of fascinating stories. The Horton Grand Hotel was by far the highlight—eerie, beautiful, and rich with unforgettable energy. Highly recommend for both visitors and locals alike! !

Fun - If you never been in a big city it can be overwhelming . There was lots of walking. Our tour guide Aiden was very informative. We learned a lot. We did not experience any paranormal activity which my daughter was disappointed with. We would recommend this tour.

Not good - The stories are poor and the tour guide rushed through them plus seemed rush since the beginning, as if of ready to be done with the tour. She did explained she had been on tours all weekend and she was losing her voice, which is understandable…but the business needs to do a better job scheduling their tour guides then and allowing people to rest. This tour was a waste of money and time.

Don’t get you hopes up - Idk the whole tour was rushed, the guide was in such a hurry and her explanation of what was hunted seemed made up .. there was no enthusiasm. If felt every place we went to had a made up story since all we did was walk around the block .. we will not be going back. Maybe our guide was tired and just wanted to get it over with😢👎
