3.Walk with Spirits: A Haunted Pub Crawl in San Francisco

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 53 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $44

“Met at Barbarossa for pickup then walked to Old Ship Saloon. Stories were good, however the trip went down alley ways and into the “shady” parts of town. Definitely uncomfortable. We ended at the Lion’s Den and the guide just disappeared. Have no idea where he went or why we ended at that place.”
