Excellent tour though more about murders than ghosts. Gives you a great history of SLO in a fun way.
What if you could travel outside the beaten path, and discover some of the most exciting, yet often overlooked destinations in San Luis Obispo, CA? Mystery Loves Company Tours offers just that! Wait a minute, you might think. Nothing ever happens in San Luis Obispo, right? Well, not quite. This community hides a gruesome past. You’d be shocked to learn about some of what happened here back in the day!
