About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Timothy F0 contributionsSpooky History WalkIt was a very nicely balanced exploration of cool local history (that may be further reaching into larger history than you may expect) combined with some supernatural examination. Just be prepared to stand, walk, and possibly wear layers to stay warm.Written October 27, 2024
- joseaJ7309TF0 contributionsNEXT TIME…EXTENDED VERSION FOR SUREE!!!Loui (hopefully spelled right) was our guide tour and he SOOO SLAYED!! Told us stories so well I legit felt like I was part of a ghost adventure episode and even got to see and hear two paranormal activities ANDDD he was funny with his comments and such great personality to interact with.Written August 23, 2024

This was my first ghost tour, so I didn't know what to expect. I read a few reviews that outlined what people generally said happened on the tour. When my friends and I showed up to Colton Hall, we were greeted by our guide, Adam. He was super friendly and charismatic, quickly whisking away any awkwardness. We were the first to check in, although, after doing so, he walked around the area before starting to make sure there weren´t any stragglers.
We mostly stayed around Colton Hall, visiting the nearby buildings. One group had opted to rent the EMF reader, which went off a few times. Adam continued to be a knowledgable and charismatic storyteller and answered questions as they arose.
Overall, it was a really cool experience, and while we didn´t see any ghosts, there were a few interesting moments. I personally enjoyed learning more about Monterey and the people who inhabited it over the centuies. I definitely want to take the ghost tour again and bring my parents. And I also look forward to going through this company again to go on other tours.

Our guide Louis was very passionate about the history in the Monterey area. He had interesting stories and led us to gardens we would never have found on our own. He shared the paranormal stories of the area/buildings and was curious about questions he didn't know the answers to. It was a fun event.

This was an awesome tour, my family and I really enjoyed our tour guide Stephen!! He was well knowledgeable about the local area! He had an easy going feel comfortable vibe about him. The tour took us to 6 historical locations and I won’t spoil any thing else. We purchased the extra 4 locations and were very surprised by the stories that were told. I would recommend our tour guide and the experience to anyone who wants to hear some history and about the ghosts that haunt the town.

Learned a lot about the historical hauntings in many of the old town buildings. And the history of a lot more. We were a small group so we could hear and respond easily. I had a great time.
I like to do the ghost walks in towns when I visit them. Usually it is the guide and the group that can make or break it all. We had a great guide and he taught the three of us a lot!!!

10/10! We did the tour with our middle school daughter and it was such a fun historical way to learn more about Monterey. Not scary by any means and you get to walk around and learn and see things you typically would have missed. You don’t go inside any of the buildings just heads up.

This tour was great and Luke was a fabulous story-teller. The only downside is that we weren’t able to go inside of any of the haunted locations. Other than that, it’s more of a historical tour with a side of ghost stories. If you’re into that kind of thing, it’s a great way to see Monterey and learn about its history.
Highly recommend for couples looking to explore the city while learning about
It’s history in a less traditional tour.

We are so thrilled to hear that you had a great time on Luke's tour! It's great to know that you enjoyed learning more about Monterey's history and had some fun along the way. We definitely understand wanting to explore the locations a bit more--per the info on our website, we are unfortunately unable to enter those privately owned buildings. However, we're glad to hear that Luke's storytelling made the history come to life for you anyway! Thank you for this feedback. We hope you join us on another tour with US Ghost Adventures in the next city you visit!

My girlfriend and I enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was friendly and told many attention grabbing stories. He kept our attention and shared a lot of history in this Old Monterey town. The ghost stories didn’t disappoint ! I will keep going on more ghost tours and do recommend to all who enjoy history and stories of the paranormal.

Will revise my review if organization reaches out. I reached out previous to our tour date advising we would not be able to attend because my husband became I’ll and we had to return home. I know there are no refunds; however, it stays you can postpone to a later date. The day following what would have been our tour date they asked for a review. I have yet to receive a reaching out email from the company.

Really fun, excellent tour guide. This guy knew his stuff. He delivered the spooky stuff with the appropriate drama, but he totally knew his history, too, which was my favorite part. I’ve lived here a while and never knew how interesting these buildings were. Loved it. Highly recommend. I can’t remember the guy’s name, but he was very funny and had a beard.
