We had a great time! We got lots of good evidence and pictures and will definitely be going back to these locations to do a little investigating of our own. The tour guide was a really fun guy and I hope he keeps doing this for many years to come :) I would definitely recommend this tour to others! More

We went on Monterey ghost trolley over the Easter break, really great 90mins, provides a little bit of history, with great creepy ghost stories. The guide is very interactive with the group and you are only a small group, good fun for adults and kids!! More

We had a great time on this tour. Our guide was very knowledgable and told some great stories about numerous things, especially the places we visited. It did rain, which added to the atmosphere, but wasn't so good for exploring. All in all, we had a great time and I would recommend it to others. More

After living in Monterey for two and a half years....we finally took the tour. I learned more about the history of monterey in 90 minutes than I had in over two years. Our guide was very entertaining and knowledgable. It was a wonderful night out! The trolley was very comfortable and clean. More

I loved the history aspect of the tour and there was definitely a spook factor that came along with it. The tour guide knew his stuff and was very enthusiastic about it. A great was to spend an evening in Monterey. More

Gary the tour guide was the best! He added a weekday tour to accommodate my birthday plans. My friends can be chatty, and get distracted easily, he had no trouble keeping everyone's attention with his great historical and chilly stories of Monterey. I have lived in Monterey county almost all of my life and did not know much of Monterey's... More

Our tour started a little late, due to the small amount of people signed up that night of which a group of 4 were 20 minutes late. Despite that, we headed to the Old Monterey Hotel for exploring a notoriously haunt on our own while we waited. Your guide is laid-back, well-informed, and quick-witted. The combo made for an interesting... More

The Ghost Trolley of Monterey is a "must do" activity when visiting the Monterey area! This tour was filled with historical information as well as visits to some very spooky places in old downtown Monterey. The tour began by visiting an old native American burial site and ended up at the cemetery. Even if you don't believe in ghosts, you... More

My wife and I like to go to Monterey on our getaways. It's one of our favorite places to go. We've meant to take the Ghost Tour before but never got around to it, mostly because we travel with our dog most of the time. We got a dog-sitter this time and made sure we hit the tour. Gary was... More

My friend and I did the ghost trip on a friday night at Monterey and we must admit that we had a awsome and SCARY experience. When we first started the tour I must admit I wasnt expecting so much. I thought it was going to be just any kind of tour and boy was I proven wrong. My girl... More
