Is a San Francisco Ghost Tour Worth It?

A more conditional answer than Charleston's, and the condition is the route.

The city over-delivers, the field under-delivers

Few American cities have more genuinely dark history - the Barbary Coast, the 1906 fire, the Gold Rush waterfront. Very few of the bookable tours are built around it. Read the itinerary rather than the title.

When to skip it

If the listing will not tell you which neighbourhood you are walking, skip it. In a city this varied, a route that will not name itself is usually a downtown loop.

The entry price is cheaper than three quarters of US ghost tours, which start around $25, so this is genuinely cheap for a ghost tour rather than just cheap.
