I took this tour with my 18 year old daughter and 19 year ld niece. They described our guide as a "Gothic Mary Poppins" and we all had a fabulous time. Our Guide shared a lot of very interesting San Francisco History with a good sprinkling of ghost / vampire stories mixed in. Our guide was wonderful. She talked to you not at you. The walking part of the tour was reasonable and not difficult. I would highly recommend this tour and plan to take the tour again on our next visit to San Francisco.

Our 16 year old son picked this tour for his birthday. He loves vampires and San Francisco. He was out of his mind happy and even thanked us twice the next day. WOW! The rest of us loved the intricate story told and a good time. Definitely a tour for the family. But remember to bring a warm cape!

I remember my mother coming up to me one day asking me if I would like to go on a vampire tour. I was a little taken aback since I honestly didn't know such tours existed. I guess I always thought vampires were consider a taboo to the American culture but with the SF Vampire Walking Tour, I was definitely proven wrong. Just when I thought I knew most of a vampire's way of life I read novels, watch television series, and research vampires quite often, the Vampire Tour really taught me a thing or two about a true vampire's lifestyle.
Mixed in with tons of history of SF buildings around Nob Hill, the Vampire Tour leader fills in audiences with the underground life of vampires while also giving many humorous, yet interesting anecdotes of Nob Hill's historic buildings, including the Fairmont Hotel and many true facts about the early settling families of SF. One does not have to be an avid vampire enthusiast to truly enjoy the tour. If all else fails on a Saturday night, the Vampire Tour is the perfect way to spend your night! I bet it's even more fitting around Halloween! The tour leader is confident, delightful, and well, of course, a VAMPIRE!
I do HIGHLY suggest that if you go on this tour, make sure you bring a jacket and a nice, hot cup of coffee! We can't all be vampires and stand the cold freely! After this tour, you'll realize that vampires don't really suck.

I took my daughter for her 16th birthday and her teenage sister and cousin and her friend. The girls and I really enjoyed this spooky historical adventure. I know that this is something they will enjoy telling all their friends about and remember all their lives.

Of all the tours we did in San Francisco, this was by far the best! I mean, they were all good, but this is an absolute must! Mina is a lovely lady and the tour is very original, what can I say. And I could not believe 2 hours could go by so fast - I could have easily gone on for longer and wished it would! All I shall add is that people should not be put off with this being a walking tour in San Francisco. There was very little hill walking (the worst if you could call it that was halfway down a short street with a gentle incline by San Francisco standards). You MUST do this tour.
