Best part is you get to go inside locations after dark. This was a great tour, thank you Cowboy Pete for being so punny.
★★★★★
I did not expect to get to go into such iconic historical San Diego locations and spend time ghost hunting, but we did, EMF meters and all. Rosalinda was a fabulous guide, very knowledgeable and funny.
★★★★★
So many fascinating places, and Dante was informative and interesting. We had a lot of fun, plus I appreciate the puns.
