San Francisco Ghost Tour - I insisted on a ghost tour on my recent trip to San Francisco and Christian Cagigal’s tour was nothing short of amazing. We met in front of The Healing Center underneath a set of impressive eucalyptus trees. Christian is a self-admitted septic and amazing historian. With a sense of humor and while remaining neutral he led us to several spots of purported haunting sadness. I was impressed with the histories of amazing pioneer women of San Francisco. There was definitely a feeling of eerie anticipation in the areas we stopped at, and Christian even related accounts and anecdotes from members of the communities , both far and in recent times. I left with my curiosity piqued. And I received a set of reference materials to further my education. This hour and a half tour is perfect for you if you are interested in a knowledgeable and easy to follow tour guide, a pleasant evening walk and the histories and mysteries of this culture-rich city. I highly recommend and would visit other events led by Christian . The hills are alive !

Fun for visitors and locals - As a local San Franciscan it was great to wander around a less touristy part of the city and learn so much about places and historical figures rarely discussed.

Excellent ghost hunt/tour! - Christian is an amazing tour guide and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area. He let's you know what is fact and what is fiction, but keeps it all entertaining! The walk is smooth enough and the value is beyond belief. This is an outstanding tour and I cannot recommend it enough. If you're in the San Francisco area, you should take this tour. You won't regret it.

Top notch guide - Christian is a wonderful guide in the world of the history not spoken of by other San Francisco residents. He made the hour and a half tour fly by with the strange and unique stories. Very enjoyable.

A Ghostly History Lesson - Had an amazing experience tonight with my friend. It was a last minute event because I wanted to go out of our norm of our usual visit. Christian was hilarious and kept us entertained. Did we experience anything? Nope but that's okay because I mainly did it for the spooky history lesson, which I love. Highly recommend if you are staying near by.
