Winchester Mystery House

Emma. The tour guide was awesome and lovely to listen too Very outgoing and well prepared and spontaneous. Loved every minute was thrilling and exciting to learn very informative. Definitely recommend to take some time and take the tour of this beautiful home.
Look forward to do the extended tour with spirits soon.

Not as creepy as I had thought but very fascinating. Guided tours were great. Lots of info. I wish there were some good books on the house and Sarah's history there. Overall, very cool.

The Winchester Mystery House tour is amazing and so completely worth visiting! Our guide, Kai, was knowledgeable, captivating, and friendly. He shared facts, not fiction, while sharing the story of Sara Winchester's life. The house is a piece of fascinating, historic architecture, full of interesting tales and visuals. I would totally take this tour again, it was so fascinating I am sure I missed things because I was so enthralled! The gardens are beautiful and so peaceful to stroll through. We went on the regular tour but will definitely go back for the Candlelight tour! Oh! And the Menagerie of Oddities & Curiosities Market that was taking place was super rad with local artisans and artists, can't wait to go back!

We made a detour on our camping trip on our way home from the Coast of California and visited the Winchester Mystery House. You must do this tour! You'll be telling friends forever that they should go too! After we had a really great lunch in town at an upscale Mexican Restaurant just a 5 min. Walk from there. Great day!

I love this place. It's been twenty plus years since I've been over here so I thought I should check it out again. It's amazing how much you forget over the years. It's just a neat old quirky house. The story behind it really does enhance the experience. We only did the house tour because it was raining. Like I already said, I loved it. The guide was great and there was plenty to see. Would recommend. Not a lot of pics because I was too busy looking with my eyes.

We absolutely loved this house! Our tour guide Olivia Maldonado went above and beyond for our tour. We loved the architecture, history, "haunted" part and everything else. Olivia let us rest when my Make-a-Wish kiddo needed a break and we got to use ghost hunting tools in the house. We got to hear the history behind doors that lead to nowhere, the stairs that lead to nowhere, the number 13 throughout the house and so many more fun tidbits. Their gift shop is huge and super well priced. Olivia made the tour so enjoyable! 100% worth your time to go and enjoy as there's something for everyone.

This house has been on my bucket list for years and it did not disappoint. Full of mystery, twists, turns, and crazy architecture. It was fun to get a history lesson about Sarah Winchester and her life. The stairs are easy to climb, and the tour was kid friendly, too! Check out the gardens afterwards, the whole place is beautiful.

This is an amazing attraction for everyone who likes architecture, history, or interesting stories. Our guide, Evelyn, made the tour very enjoyable. Don't miss the cool gift so when you visit.

Well worth a trip to see the kooky Winchester mansion. It's well furnished, and the Christmas decorations were fun and fitting in the house. The multiple sets of stairs on the standard tour are worth consideration if you're going with children, seniors, or mobility restricted people. The tour is about a mile of walking. They do offer ADA tours as well.

Our tour guide Will was the best! He was the kindest most patient with our teen.
If you come to San Francisco is a must! The history is very well told and the house in itself is amazing. So beautiful, excellent preserved so mysterious and a mischievous. We paid 45 with taxes and the tour was about 1 hour 15. We bought the tickets in advance, and didn’t wait at all. IS A MUST!

For 13 years I've been waiting for this tour and it was worth every penny. The tour guide was fantastic, the gardens were easy to navigate and the gift shop was pretty alright. The gift shop was a tad expensive but if you want memorabilia it was perfect. I love this place and I hope to return another time.

A must-see experience for every fan of the eccentric or unusual or even Victorian architecture. It's difficult to convey my feelings about the Winchester Mystery House. I'm not a believer in spooks or spirits, so the exact reason why my memory of the house has lingered at the front of my consciousness for weeks after my visit is peculiar to put it mildly. My initial impression was simply how overwhelming the maintenance of the house must be on an ongoing basis. We paid for the 10:50 am "Guided Mansion Tour" on a Saturday. Tickets were $41.99 each. Our tour guide was Marissa, a lovely young lady wearing a period costume. She was professional, enthusiastic about the property (she referred to the Winchester House as a "home" throughout the tour), and a delightful host. We heard some of the other tour guides that overlapped ours due to the layout of the house, and I am pleased that we were lucky to be assigned Marissa for our tour. She was great! Highly recommended!!!

Definitely a must see in San Jose, I attended a walk with the spirits tour. It lasted around 1 hour, or guide Katy was kind and very informative. The tour takes you through a lot of the house and there’s tight spots where you have to duck and wear a hard hat. So if you have mobility issues it could be a little challenging. Theres also stairs to climb. But overall a great tour. My group had a lot of fun!

Had a wonderful time! Sabina was a fantastic and funny tour guide. I've been wanting to come since I was very little & this place is just as magical as I imagined. Every employee was friendly and passionate about the location & it's history.

I did the house tour and it was amazing! The tour was designed well and the tour guide was friendly and professional. I love how she shared new findings in the house. Also prior to arrival I needed to switch to a different tour and the admin person for the email inbox was very accommodating. I would come back again!

My first time visiting Winchester Mystery Mansion. Decided to make it a day trip with cousins. Bought tickets online and when you purchase 1 tour, the second tour is given at a discount. It was a fun experience. Our first tour was The Mansion Tour and our guide was Jim. He was very funny and excellent with the kids during the tour. Our second tour was Walking With The Spirits Tour and our guide was Katy. This was a more behind the scenes tour in areas where you can tell had more damage, possibly from earthquake. She was a great guide as well. The entire estate was very nice to walk through, including the garden. Lots of tents with trinkets to buy, tarot card readers, crystals, clothing, soaps you name it. A nice surprise that they sold food, snacks, desserts, soft drinks, liquor and gift shop was amazing. Before you enter the tour, you get a group picture. You must experience this at least once. All the staff was friendly, including nice gentlemen at the snack bar.

Gene was a Wonderful tour guide, kept us well entertained and informed us about the history of the house. Definitely worth a visit to at least do the basic house tour.

Interesting tour as we did both the Mansion tour and the Walk with Spirits tour. Both tours were kind of fast paced. Mansion tour was with a small group and very good but fast paced. Walk with the Spirits tour had about 15+ people. Was a little less enjoyable as we had some talkers and laggers in the group but not the fault of our guide who did a great job.

We were in San Jose for a concert and found the Winchester Mystery House while searching for things to do during the day, and I'm glad we did. The one hour tour was great, and our tour guide gave us some great history while injecting a lot of humor as well. It was a really good time, and we enjoyed learning about and seeing the house. All of the different features meant to confuse the ghosts were fun to see.
(They were set up for a Halloween event, so some of my photos have those items in there that normally aren't set up.)

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We loved learning about the history of the house and about Sarah Winchester. Our tour guide, Yazmeen (spelling?), was very knowledgeable, and we loved the little jokes.
You are able to walk around the grounds after your tour. My kids want to go back and do the spirits tour.
I would suggest buying tickets ahead of time as tours sell out.
