You also go down to the basement where paranormal events have been experienced. With the 1.5 hour "Walk with the Spirits" tour, you get to experience a séance as it might have been depicted in the early 1900s.

It took us into rooms not included in the mansion tour and gave a great perspective on Sarah Winchester and her spiritualism or was it craziness? Sadia was fun and full of energy. We also took the "Walk with the Spirits" tour lead by Sadia. See doors and stairs that lead to nowhere, crazy architecture and many "before their time" features. One could get lost easily! The mansion tour included 110 of the 160 rooms and is an hour long. It was very informative and delightfully interesting. Thoroughly enjoyed our mansion tour, led by Theresa. Highly recommend for those traveling to or through San Francisco. If anyone from the Winchester Mystery House is reading this - please try and inject a little enthusiasm into your tour guides and reduce the maximum number of people per tour.Loved out time spent at the Winchester Mystery House. The exterior and gardens are are beautiful, but as mentioned the house looks out of place next to a cinema complex, shopping centre and the Interstate! Overall I did enjoy this and would recommend a visit if you are in the area.

I was disappointed that nothing was made of the ghostly side of things - I heard about the house on a ghost show on TV and thought there would be stories of ghostly goings on, but it was a pretty basic tour - this is this, that is that etc. Seeing inside the rooms that were abandoned after the 1906 earthquake was interesting too.

Even though the furnishings were not original, there were plenty of period fittings such as fire places, windows and woodwork that were, and gave you an idea if the grandeur of the house. The house is simply odd - you do wonder what the woman owner was thinking when building it. Tour guide Pam was a little robotic at the start but warmed up as the tour went on. On the other hand, I did enjoy the Mansion Tour. Or perhaps because there was simply not much extra to show.
Even though there is a saving if you take both tours, in all honesty the Mansion Tour is enough, I felt the behind the scenes did not add anything to the experience, possibly because the guide for that part (James) spoke very quickly, had little personality and didn't seem to want to be there. There are two tours here, the Mansion Tour and the so called Behind the Scenes Tour. I think about the only thing we could say about this tour is that they need to bring the prices on the tour down to $10 a person because it left much to be desired. The Behind the Scenes Tour was even worse due to the fact that you saw some extra rooms and all they did was tell you what machinery they used in them. I'd have to say that all of the highlights were the ones we saw on TV and when you saw them in person, it was not impressive at all.
Which meant it was mostly other pieces that they acquired from the times to furnish the house. Winchester's because she willed it away to her niece. Secondly, mostly 95% of the furniture that was in the house was not Mrs. You could tell that they memorize a script and were tired of telling it over and over. First of all, the tour guides where very robotic and mechanical. We found $2 off coupons on the net which was definitely not enough of a discount to ask me to recommend this place to any of my traveling friends. It will cost you about $24.95 per person to do the Mansion tour and the Behind the Scenes Tour.
This past weekend, we went to the Winchester Mansion.
