The guide was all over the place and could not stay focused. The tour was so long and dragged out, it was boring and uneventful. We couldn't break away to leave... painful. read more

Our group had a great time on the tour; very fun, interesting, and informative :) Hope to do Blackstar in the future

Every year my friend and I do a different ghost tour in a different city and we left this one both agreeing it has been the BEST one yet!! Far better than others, and while making some historical points of the area they really focused on the paranormal stories/experiences which is what we are always hoping for. read more

My review is a little different, because it was for a blood drive. What an excellent company that gives back to the community. Any place that is willing to host a blood drive tells you a lot about the type of people they are. read more

This was my first tour with this group. They were organized, professional, knowledgeable and respectful of the space. 10/10 read more

Heather was a great guide and John did a great job of keeping an eye on things for us! They were both very knowledgeable and kind! I definitely want to come back and do another tour with them when I am back in California! read more

Very interesting tour of a very special area in San Juan. No surprise there is activity there and Heather presented a great overview historically. read more

We had our haunted tour tonight with Heather & John. The amount of activity was insane, her knowledge and experience made this tour the BEST we've ever been on!!! Heather is an incredible guide! She has so much history, she's hilarious, welcoming, fun and very intuitive. John kept us feeling safe the entire time. They are what makes this tour so fascinating! If you have a chance to go, go with them, it's an incredible experience!!!! read more

Interesting information. Friendly guides lots of fun. Our guides took us to very interesting locations and had interesting detailed information. We had a small group that was great read more

I had an amazing experience touring OC Ghosts and Legends at Camino Real Playhouse. The venue is stunning inside and out. Thank you for another fantastic night filled with fun and memorable moments! Can't wait to return! read more

Very professional staff. Prepared and they have all different equipment for people to use.

Very interesting experience! Wanted to try something new and different. We did the San Juan Capistrano tour. It was my first time here and I love the area, so cute and lovely with lots of cute restaurants nearby so good place to hang out for dinner before the tour. We parked in the parking structure super close to the where the tour meeting started. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable but some of the parts were hard to hear as her voice wasn't super loud and the train and liveliness of the town drowned her voice out at some parts. I like that they carry an iPad like device to show us pictures with the stories to get visuals. We also got to meet Chris, the head as he was training some new tour guides. He stopped by towards the end of our tour and told us stories. He is incredibly enthusiastic and great. I'm not a big believer in paranormal things but definitely felt spooked when he talked. Fun experience to do! read more

OC Ghosts and Legends - Walking Tours Near Me

I went on this walking tour last night and it was definitely one of the best ones I've been on. The tour guides were AMAZING! This is the first tour/hunt I've been on where I experienced something that couldn't be explained. Thanks so much!!! read more

Did a Capistrano ghost walk several years ago . Very informative and interesting information to learn.

Heather was entertaining and made the experience feel genuine. Made me want to come back and explore the area some more.

Fun night and very knowledgeable group, interesting and atmospheric tour. Guides took time to talk to everyone and answer questions

Enjoyed our tour guided by Heather. Very knowledgeable and fun. Very exciting because we literally had the law after us.. Very innocently set off a home alarm by doing a good deed read more

It was fun, but more of a history tour than a ghost tour. They talked about ghosts, but it was very generic.

We did the San Juan Capistrano tour. What a chilling and great tour! Being able to get so close up and walk on to the properties in the tour made it great as well! We absolutely loved it! The history , stories and tips our tour guides Heather and John shared during the tour have me looking at what tour to do next with OC Ghosts and Legends and making sure we have them as our tour guides again. THANK YOU HEATHER AND JOHN! read more

Entertaining and great for the whole family. I love history so this was perfect for me. I love how they separate fact from fiction. Would go again. Recommend the tour read more

OC Ghosts and Legends - Out of all my pictures this was the only one that was very off. I'll let you be the judge - Walking Tours Near Me

My wife and I had an amazing evening with Heather met at Los Rios neighborhood in San Juan Capistrano. Her knowledge and storytelling made it such an interesting walk the whole time. We will for sure be joining her again. Thanks for the amazing tour and ghost hunt Heather. Look forward to doing this again with you! read more

I would like first to say that this is a re-review. I would like to thank Cris of OC Ghost and Legends for taking the time to respond to my initial review but to also thank him for taking the time out his busy schedule to offer and provide an amazing tour. Cris, you really exceeded our expectations and you did an amazing job of presenting something unique and interesting. Not only was the tour amazing. He is an extremely knowledgeable and committed individual in providing an entertaining and historically accurate tour. I and the others in the tour group have been on other tours in California and in other States and would say that OC Ghost and Legends is an asset to preserving the historical legends and folklore of Orange County. We would like to thank you Cris and we promise to promote your organization to others. You did an excellent job and hope that you continue to provide such a great service to Orange County and Southern California. read more

I took my son his friends and my boyfriend to this tour and we all had the best time! They answered all of our questions and were super friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you Cris and Heather read more

I participated in the Oman House Lockdown last evening. I had been excited for weeks leading up to it. I arrived and immediately got ill. It was too much for me and my empath nature. BUT...this team. Wow. I was determined to tough it out. Heather, Anna, Roger, I can't say enough about how amazing they were and how great they took care of me and what I was experiencing. They said this can happen there. Dixie did a cleansing for me before leaving and I felt fine afterwards. They were the utmost professionals and so fun too! Even with my hard evening experiencing all I did I will join them again in the future in a heartbeat!! read more

I had a great time, wonderful experience, guides and staff are informative, organized and thoughtful. Host David Oman was super cool, inviting and very interesting to chat with. Truly a once in a lifetime experience! Got some really interesting photos. Would definitely recommend to try it out. I hope they coordinate additional places to attend soon. read more

We had a great time on our lockdown of the Oman House. The staff were friendly, fun and knowledgeable. Looking forward to another investigation with OC Ghosts and Legends. read more

We just did a lockdown at Camino Del Rio Playhouse. The place was quite the hot bed of activity. For anyone who is going on an investigation for the first time, I would highly recommend this location. We had a mix of shadow figures, haunted objects, and unexplained phenomenon. The staff, Heather, Roger, Diane and crew, were very professional and helped facilitate the investigation by throwing out ideas on how to investigate and provided a variety of equipment to play with. I can't give enough stars to these guys! This is my second event, first being Bracken Fern Manor, can't wait for our next one. read more

Ghosts, legends and definitely a whole lot of history here. I bought tickets for the San Juan Capistrano Ghost Tour with this group to celebrate my friend's birthday as we do enjoy a good birthday ghost tour as we have done in the past at other places. The tour met up with our "ghost hosts" by the railroad tracks near the Hummingbird Cafe in SJC. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes and dress accordingly, with perhaps a jacket, as it gets chilly in the evening. Our tour started at 8pm. We were walked along various parts of SJC, a lot in the historic Los Rios area. It is amazing how old some of the structures still standing on Los Rios are. We were told of the many historical buildings and figures and ghosts that are in the area. Mika, our ghost host leading the tour, educated us about so many interesting aspects of SJC. Since so much is still existing from as far back as the late 1700s, you can imagine the history! ! We learned of the famous "Lady in White" who has been known to haunt the area and has been seen by many people, but, alas, she wasn't present that evening. We saw two actual hanging trees, and we were also brought to an area of a former graveyard where all the headstones were cleared away when the city thought perhaps they would build a park there. After protests from locals, it was deemed a poor idea (think "Poltergeist") and the park was built a bit down from the area. This San Juan Capistrano ghost tour is one of several tours OC Ghosts and Legends offers. This tour seemed to be offered some Friday evenings during the month. See tour schedules on their website at www.ocghostsandlegends.com Their staff are friendly, professional and clearly enjoy what they do. I would recommend this tour and look forward to checking out other tours they offer in the future. read more

Had an excellent experience investigating with this group. Very knowledgeable, prepared and great people. Hope to do something with them again. read more

Thanks Heather for a really fun night. Definitely something different to do! I enjoyed the beautiful walk and meeting new people. There was a passion and love to your stories with just the right amount of ghostly adventure. Will absolutely do this again! read more

John and Heather were awesome! Heather was very knowledgeable about the background and history bin the tour. She made everyone really enjoy and embrace the story I would really recommend them and will definitely spend another evening with them! read more

Heather and John made the San Juan tour so much fun I've always wanted to do a ghost investigation and for my first time they made it epic! Totally going back to investigate with them! Thank you ! read more

Heather & OC ghosts and legends hosted the most amazing tour in Los Rios District, San Juan Capistrano! We went on Halloween eve and had so much fun. This tour wasn't cheesy - it was raw, real and had us convinced that there are spirits at work in this world! Heather was very knowledgeable and very funny. We loved the EVP recordings in the respective locations too! Can't wait to do another tour with this company! Highly recommend. read more

A lot of fun. The tour guides provided a lot of information and they were honest about what they believed and didn't believe. Would definitely recommend as a fun and interesting thing to do. Great history lesson too! read more

Yet AGAIN! This team has your best interest in mind, but at the same time there are things beyond their control, like weather. We had the pleasure of staying at the Bracken Fern Manor in the Lilly room for an over-night "ghost-hunt" and had a wonderful experience with some knocking and jiggling of the door as well as some unexplained whispering. Thank you OCGAL for yet another FANTASTIC event and a truly unique experience. 5 STARS ALL AROUND and we look forward to the next adventure! read more

I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Super fun night with Chris! Our group was we enjoyable. Tour was interactive and informative. You have to suspend belief and relax to have a good time.If you are a heckling duche bag (like some of the other reviewers) Don't go! But if you can go to enjoy the hike and get into the adventure of ghost hunting it won't be like any other experience you have had in Orange County! Big Tip: Heed the warnings from your guide and go to the bathroom before you get to the hike! read more

It was a dark, cold, and scary night and my 16-year-old daughter and her friends had a great time walking the trail and learning about ghost stories from Mike and his assistant. Thank you for a great adventure! read more

Heather and John were so nice and so knowledgeable, I'm a scaredy cat but they made me feel very comfortable and I actually enjoyed the experience , very cool and interesting read more

A friend wanted to do this for her birthday. I was skeptical but hey. We had a great time. The tour guide was fun and informative and kept things interesting. His story telling could use some work but did not get bored. The group we were with was quiet and did not participate much even though he tried to bring them in to the conversation. Overall a fun experience would recommend to anyone. The history of the tour was excellent. P.S. Look out for the murder shed! read more

We were eager to learn more about the interesting and unique history of San Juan Capistrano, knowing that it has had a violent and colorful past. Instead we got a diluted history lesson that was neither scary nor fact-based. Our children have learned scarier stories about SJC from their elementary school teachers. No instructions were even given on where to meet the tour so we walked around in the dark, saying "ghost tours? Ghost tours?" until we happened upon our tour guide. Bottom line, it was excruciating long and boring. read more
