Spooky Solvang Ghost Hunting & History Tour
Description
Use real ghost hunting gear and learn of Solvang's haunted past, with creepy stories collected from locals. We're the original ghost tour, with a haunted adventure taking you through Solvang's charming streets and historic Danish-style buildings. Using professional ghost-hunting tools like EMF meters, dowsing rods, and a Spirit Box, you’ll get hands-on as you search for signs of the supernatural. Hear strange stories of haunted bakeries, ghostly restaurant patrons, and spirits that still linger behind the village’s cozy façade. Blending folklore, history, and interactive ghost hunting, this tour offers a fun, spooky, and surprisingly thoughtful way to explore Solvang. We’ll wrap up with a closing ritual to honor the energies we’ve encountered and ensure a peaceful parting. Recommended for ages 12+ due to mature themes, including serial killers, brothels, and true crime.

This was GREAT. This was our 2nd tour with Ryan, we did the true crime and wine the night before. He was amazing, funny and we had a great date night activity while learning about the history and haunts of Solvang. DEFINITELY recommend.
Hi there! Reading your review was a highlight of our day! Thank you for being an integral part of our experience. Looking forward to greeting you again soon!
My first time in Solvang. Booked the tour. Group of 6 with 3 tour guides, total 9 people. On this occasion, 2 of the guides were learning/practicing to be a tour guide. The tour advertisement stated the guide would be using a microphone. There was no microphone; thus, the trainees had very low voices. It was hard for me to hear. It was even harder for my husband since he has one defective ear. We missed details for sure, making it NOT a full experience for my husband and I. While I understand the trainees need the practice, we did not get a discount for it. Overall, it was an experience that I do recommend to others.
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry your experience fell short, especially not being able to clearly hear the stories and fully enjoy the spooky atmosphere. We'd love the chance to make it right. Please contact us directly at info@thehauntghosttours or 415-446-1580, and we'll happily offer you a 2-for-1 ticket for one of our other experiences. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We hope to welcome you back for a much better experience.
good combination of ghost hunting and history of Solvang. Kids liked it but were a little scared too. EMF meters were nice hands on for them.
Thanks for joining the tour – can’t wait to have you back!
It was a beautiful night and lots of fun. Great job KC!

Thanks for leaving a review, Karen! Glad you enjoyed the evening. We’d love to have you back for another ghostly tour!
The Solvang ghost tour was such a fun experience! Casey was a great guide and knew how to go about the stories of the town and throw some jokes in there too to keep it lighthearted. If you’re wanting to learn about the town in a different light this is definitely a great way to do so! Casey was very informative and knowledgeable about anything we questioned. Highly recommend this tour!
Hi Natalie, thanks for the awesome review! So glad you had a great time with us. Hope to see you again!
We had the most wonderful experience on the Children’s Ghost Tour during Christmas (Jule) in Solvang with Kate from Haunt Ghost Tours. Kate was absolutely fantastic! Engaging, thoughtful, and perfectly tuned to her young audience. My 8-year-old daughter loved every minute, especially getting to use the EMF readers, which made the experience feel interactive and exciting for her. The tour was filled with interesting facts about Solvang, fun and age-appropriate ghost stories and legends, and little sweet treats sprinkled throughout, which made it extra special. It struck the perfect balance between spooky, educational, and festive. We highly recommend this tour, highly recommend Kate, and would absolutely do it again. Such a memorable holiday experience for families. Don't wait, sign up early as spots fill up fast!
