Specters and Sinners: Haunted San Diego Adult's Only Ghost Tour

What you'll do:

This adults-only ghost tour dives deep into San Diego's scandalous Stingaree past. You'll explore the Gaslamp Quarter’s historic red-light district, uncovering stories of brothels, gangsters, tragic performers, and unsolved murders. Stops include legendary sites like the Tivoli Bar, the Grand Pacific Hotel, and the infamous Montijo Building—once home to an embalming parlor and now haunted by its caretaker’s ghost. It’s the perfect mix of raunchy, riveting, and real.

Why we love it for your party:

• Adults-only edge (Perfect for birthdays, bachelorettes, or a spicy night out)

• R-rated storytelling (With just the right amount of humor and grit)

• Gaslamp glamor meets ghostly gloom (A delectable combination)

• Real history, real hauntings (This tour doesn’t sugarcoat a thing)
