On this ghoulish adventure you’ll explore the haunted neighborhoods of Union Square, Nob Hill, the Barbary Coast, Chinatown, see their haunted spots and hear their tales of the afterlife.

This tour is guided by the voice of an experienced spooky Professional British Narrator and hauntingly creepy sound effect to set the mood for this ghostly walk through the streets of San Francisco. Simply go to the Westin St Francis's front door, press start tour, and put your phone in your pocket. Our App's technology will guide you step by step from there.

As we walk, I’ll share with you the haunted locations and their spooky stories. You’ll learn about Chinatown’s dark past. The history of the 1906 earthquake. The gold rush era. The Jazz age. The Barbary Coast. And much more!

It’s a tour of history, tragedy, mayhem and of course, ghosts.
