The eternal hostess had a wonderful way of weaving fact with fiction (or is it just fact?), and was just a charming person overall. She's a wonderful storyteller and made the experience so much fun. The little raffle, candy, and the ambience of her candelabra were lovely little touches. We'd wholeheartedly recommend checking this out, spooky season or not!

We had an incredible time on this Vampire Tour! Lots of great history around Nob Hill, and our host with the most Mina put on quite the show. She also did a raffle, had candy, and knew how to really keep a crowd of 15+ engaged for hours. We had a wonderful time - if you're looking for one of the most unique SF tours around, this is the one.

I went on this tour with my Halloween social club, and we had a great time! Lots of cool historical facts, with some fun little vampire stories thrown in for flair. Tour is not 'scary', but still fun and informative. It was in San Francisco, at night, so yes it was cold. Dress VERY warmly and wear comfy shoes.

This was so much fun! The tour guide is lovely , and the tour is so fun with lots of funny moments! And just enough spookiness. I went twice, once with my boyfriend and once with my sister and her kids and everyone loved it. The stories are really good!

I was lucky enough to have a private tour as the other members of the group cancelled due to fear of rain. The quality of the stories and the history behind the locations was top notch. It was a lovely evening spent with what felt like an old friend taking a casual evening stroll around Nob Hill. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to broaden their horizons and have a little fun.

Very informative, funny, and a great way to learn about the history of San Francisco during the 1800’s.

Well, I am honestly shocked to share we purchased tickets for October 3, 2020's tour and got stood up. We waited at the corner of Taylor and California (pee the directive of the tickets) for thirty minutes, hoping to see a vampire walk up with her famous candles but nothing. Very disappointing and trying to get in touch with eventbrite and the organizer for a refund but you know how those things go... Maybe choose a pumpkin patch instead if you are trying to enjoy Halloween 2020.

I grew up near San Francisco. There is much about the city that I never knew. On a whim, I decided to spend Halloween on the Vampire Tour up on Nob Hill. I never go to Nob Hill. I've probably been to the Fairmont once to see a show. I was concerned about parking and driving up some steep grade. This was no problem at all. I made a reservation at the Crocker Garage and zoomed right in there. After I parked, I found Mina Parker walking by the park with a glowing candelabra in her hand. Eventually, many more people met us across the street from Grace Cathedral. There was a nice crowd of people there, but Mina could be easily heard by everyone. I was surprised by the number of local people on the tour. Sometimes, these people chimed in with their personal experiences. The tour is not scary or spooky. Do not expect gore! Mina is a nice vampire with a good sense of humor who has lived in the tunnels under Nob Hill for well over a century. She tells amazing stories about the history of the area. She lived them. I intend to go back up to Nob Hill and explore more since I took the tour. Its a wonderland up there. Tourists to San Francisco should visit Nob Hill. Take a cable car!

We’ve done the Vampire tour twice...had fun! Felt sorry for out of towners clad in shorts and flip flops. The wind is whipping on Nob Hill in the summer. The walking tour is full of San Francisco history...facts and fiction.

My friends surprised me with the tour and it's something I will never forget. Mina is a vivid storyteller and so knowledgable. We learned so much about the secret history of SF. She made it so engaging and her passion is infectious. Afterwards we got drinks at the Tonga Room (not included in the tour, but I also recommend). Dress warmly!

A great experience! Mina was so informative and engaging while giving us a fun perspective on the always interesting and sometimes spooky history of the Nob Hill buildings. We really enjoyed her enthusiasm and energy while telling us secrets of old San Francisco. Very enjoyable

Went on Mina Harker's Vampire Tour recently...she kept us entertained with stories and history on the hill. All in our party enjoyed it. Just the right tempo and mood for an enjoyable evening out while we were visiting THE City ! !

A unique, fun tour. Costumed host Mina Harker tells tales and takes you on a nice walk that shows off SF landmarks and signature views. Note: WEAR LAYERS! Don’t go by the temperature. This is San Francisco and it gets windy and cold on the hilltops!

Thoroughly enjoyed hearing stories of Nob Hill and San Francisco history. Vampire tour led by a colorful, witty and entertaining young lady. Fun and interesting and quite unique.

Took the tour in June of 2017. We had so much fun - lot's of quirky history even as a born-in-San-Franciscan did not know. Went home and bought several books to learn even more! Came from hot Sacramento weather, folks it is very cold and windy top of Nob Hill, can't stress to dress warm or your evening will be ruined. It's not a scary tour so it is family friendly for sure, but they would have to be good listeners as your Vampiress host does stop to tell much. Just do it, where the heck else can you have this experience!!!

The Vampire Tour of San Francisco is an easy walk around Nob Hill hosted by that notorious Vampire Nina Harker--remember her from Dracula! She tells tales and Vampire lore at several stops and it is especially fun that she works in historical San Francisco to the stories. Wear a jack or coat if it is a chilly night, but I had a great time. A favorite Halloween thing to do or an anytime fun couple of hour for something different and unique.

Five of us pals showed up on a summers night - it was freezing on Nob Hill. Bring a coat. Miss Mina Parker gave us a lively tour of Nob Hill - replete with spooky stories about San Francisco - there is history, wild tales, spooky stories....very entertaining.. Dress warmly. Parking on Nob Hills tres Cher.
