I liked the history that was shared as well as the stories.

The tour was very interesting and our guide was very knowledgeable with the history of the area. The only downside of our tour was that the weather was quite chilly, so if you book a tour in March, dress accordingly.

Full description

Take a journey through Sacramento's historic district and delve into the chilling stories of its haunted past with a knowledgeable local tour guide. Hear spine-tingling tales of lingering spirits at iconic buildings like the Delta King Hotel, California Railway Museum, Eagle Theatre, and Sacramento History Museum. This walking ghost tour is an unforgettable experience for thrill-seekers and history buffs alike.

Experience the weight of history as you stroll through the dimly lit streets of Sacramento, feeling as though the spirits of the past are watching your every move. Learn about the city's transformation from a beacon of hope during the Gold Rush era to a place shrouded in darkness and despair. Hear the tragic stories of American pioneers who met their end in a city plagued by disaster and death, sending shivers down your spine.

The Sacramento Ghosts tour is not for the faint of heart, as you will be standing on haunted ground throughout the evening. While you may not enter privately owned buildings, the eerie atmosphere and chilling tales will transport you to another world. Join us at 8 PM for a mile-long trek through the most haunted and iconic places in Sacramento, where the spirits of the past still linger, waiting to share their stories with those brave enough to listen. Are you ready to uncover the dark secrets beneath the surface of this historic city?
