Abi
Our tour guide Lydia was great. She was very knowledgeable on the city’s history so we felt very connected to the material. She assisted one of our fellow tourists, reassuring her of her walk home as she was from out of town. She was also very professional with my grandmother who has been known to say some offensive things. She handled it well, and even had a long conversation with her about her hometown. I would recommend her again from her welcoming attitude, professionalism, and empathetic nature. Thank you, Lydia!

Lydia was my tour guide and she was very informative and provided a lot of historical information about people and events that happened in and around the Old Sacramento area. During the tour I captured a blue orb floating above one of the buildings that could only be seen in the photograph. During the extended tour, Lydia spoke with an employee of one of the haunted buildings. He was friendly and had some insight and interesting experiences while working in Old Sacramento.

We were guided around old sac, we listened to the spooky stories from our guide Alexis who was a very good storyteller. All I wanted to say was that I enjoyed it. However, I just wished we were able to tour inside and get a feel for paranormal activity. I was hoping to investigate, but it wasn’t like that though. I did pay for the EMF device but, it wasn’t useful because I wasn’t able to use it inside of the haunted locations. We only stood outside. Overall, it was fun walking around.

We thoroughly enjoyed our ghost tour of old town Sacramento!! We had a 9 year old who thought it was a blast. Our guide Addie did amazing job telling us the stories and history of the area. She was super personable and funny. Highly recommend this tour!
