Spooky but Not Too Scary—Loved It!” - Such a fun little adventure! The Santa Barbara ghost tour was cute, quirky, and full of charm. Nothing too scary—just the right mix of history, humor, and spooky tales. I loved learning about the town’s past and hearing the stories behind the different buildings and their “active” ghost sightings. It was the perfect quick night outing—lighthearted, interesting, and so much fun! Highly recommend if you’re looking for something unique to do in Santa Barbara.

Great experience - Had a great time. Anne, our guide, was pleasant and very knowledgeable. She had a lot of extra information/stories that helped make the experience enjoyable. Anne is the reason for 5 stars. Just as a side note: Maybe this was an issue with the site I booked through (Viator), but, at the time I booked and at the time of typing this review, there was no mention of this being a walking tour (which ended up being a good thing because we got to interact with our guide more). However, I can see how this might be an issue for anyone who has mobility issues. Also, there was no option for the expanded tour which I did not know about until our guide mentioned it. The tour we got was 4 locations. Apparently, there should have been an option for a longer tour that went to 3 additional places. Depending on the price, i might have still opted for the shorter tour, but, having the option would have been nice.

Great historical tour! Tales of haunts and history. - Our guide, Anne, was right on time. With her lantern, she led us to the Court House and told stories of how the grounds used to be and how it became to be. We then visited several more historical sights, including the Presidio, which had some of the original walls still standing. So many interesting facts and stories of why these places are considered haunted.
