Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive at the meeting point at least 35 minutes early to secure parking and locate your guide, as the Gaslamp Quarter can be busy.
- Wear comfortable shoes, as the tour involves walking through the Gaslamp Quarter with approximately 20 minutes spent at each bar.
- Since restrooms are not available during the walking portions between stops, use facilities at the meeting point or nearby establishments before the tour begins.
- Consider dressing in vintage or spooky flair to enhance the immersive experience, though it is optional.
- Pace yourself with the included drinks; this is a journey through paranormal history, not a pub binge, and additional drinks can be purchased if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cancellation policy?
If the tour is cancelled by the organizer due to unforeseen circumstances or not meeting the minimum participant requirement, you will receive a full refund. If you cancel 24 or more hours in advance, you will be refunded in full. Cancellations within 24 hours are final, but the organizer may offer a refund at their discretion if your spots can be resold.
Do I need to tip the guide?
Tipping your host is customary and greatly appreciated if you enjoy their performance. Hosts are trained professionals who put significant effort into the experience, and tips form a substantial part of their income. Most guests tip around $5-$10 per person.
What is the difference between this and a regular pub crawl?
This is a haunted bar tour focused on history, hauntings, and humor, rather than a typical pub crawl with casual drinking. Most bars visited have a history of paranormal activity, and the experience is delivered with theatrical storytelling.
What kind of scary is this tour?
The tour is described as 'spooky' and 'delightfully creepy' rather than terrifying. It focuses on atmospheric storytelling, historical legends, and eerie ambiance, with no jump scares or haunted house theatrics. Humor is also a significant element.
Can I buy extra drinks during the tour?
Yes, while three signature cocktails are included with your ticket, you are welcome to purchase additional drinks at the bars if time permits and you wish to do so.
