Awesome tour, highly recommended!

Such an interesting tour and a fascinating insight into San Diego’s history! Jackson was incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the buildings, their past and their ghostly stories to life. His storytelling made it easy to imagine being there in the 1800s! A great way to spend an evening in San Diego. Highly recommend!
