Walk with Spirits: A Haunted Pub Crawl in San Francisco in San Francisco

San Francisco , California

★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (48 reviews)
Free Cancellation

From $ 37.40

Duration: 2 hours (approx.)

This bar hop plus ghost tour takes you through the most historic haunts of Gold Rush era San Francisco. We start in the only part of downtown to survive the 1906 Earthquake and Fire - Jackson Square, then cross the infamous “Devil’s Acre,” and end in the legendary Chinatown. There you'll meet the ghosts of desperate miners, forlorn women, and shanghaied sailors... plus a serial killer or two. And unlike a standard ghost tour, we’ll actually enter into four haunted locations where, if you choose, you might sip on that other kind of spirit.  Don't see a date that suits you?

Blue Painted Lady House Tour - Interior Guided Tour by Owner in San Francisco

San Francisco , California

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (34 reviews)
Free Cancellation

From $ 35.00

Duration: 1 hours (approx.)

The Painted Ladies are known worldwide from photos, guidebooks, film and TV shows such as "Full House". For locals, they are a cherished symbol of our city and our history. These are all private homes and are rarely open for viewing. The blue painted lady is one of the most original and preserved of the seven homes in this row. The interior reflects almost 174 years of this family's history in the city. It is not a recreation of an 1890s home, nor is it the tour meant as an inspiration for home décor or design. We hope guests find the period furnishings and paintings harmonious and the stories engaging.
