Old Town Temecula Candlelight Walking Tours

Dale is an entertaining character and full of fun stories about the olden days in Temecula. Highly recommended! You’ll never view Temecula the same.

Did this tour with my husband and it was fantastic! Dale was great, a walking encyclopedia for the area of Temecula. He had lots of great stories and you can tell he really enjoys doing this. I highly recommend this!

This was so much fun! Informative and entertaining, Dale is a gem to this community. We did the nighttime ghost tour and it was a hit with my friends. I can’t say enough good things about Dale and what he has put together for his tours. If you’re looking for a fun new date night, or a group outting, I highly recommend getting in contact with Dale and setting up your own adventure. Word of advice: bring extra cash, because I’m sure you’ll want to tip him at the end.

Found the ghost walk very interesting… Dale is filled with history. My husband, myself and family really enjoyed it! Thank you Dale for a great tour :)

We (lovely wife, 4 kids 15, 10,7 & 3) did a tour recently w/​cowboy Dale & we had a great time! He’s very knowledgeable, entertaining & accommodating. We did this thru the childrens’ museum in Temecula where the tour started. We had no idea how historic this charming community is. We’re all so happy & grateful to be here.
We’ll definitely be back to tour the museum & do Dale’s ghost tour.

My boyfriend and I have been on three amazing adventures with Dale. Two paranormal and one history walking tour. If you are even slightly interested in history, even just a little bit, I promise you that Dale will take whatever amount of interest you have and increase it A TON! We loved the historical walking tour. Dale is an AMAZING historian, completely professional — he really knows his stuff. My boyfriend and had a lot of fun learning about Old Town Temecula and Temecula in general. The candlelight tour was a nice touch in addition to the photos that he provides along the way.
Now, the paranormal tours are just AS AMAZING, if you are into the paranormal, which I am.
Dale is the man to see in Old Town!
Do yourself a favor and book a tour. You won’t be sorry! We can’t wait to go again.
Thank you Dale!!! :)

My wife and I went on Dale’s candle light tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a great way to spend and evening walking around Old Town and Dale is great with the stories. One of the families that was in our group had a couple of kids and the really seemed to enjoy it too. When our family came to visit one Thanksgiving weekend, we «hired» Dave to do a private tour for about 20 of us during the day and it was great. You can’t beat the price… he should charge more! Great entertainment and a learning experience. I’ve forgotten quite a bit so we’ll probably go on another tour soon.

I can’t believe I almost forgot to review this! I went on the ghost tour with my girlfriend a few months ago, Dale was such a treat! His knowledge of the area and the fantastically interesting stories he told were just wonderful. He even dressed in theme in cowboy boots and spurs, and carried a candle/​lantern during the tour! (Cute). We ended up being the only ones on the tour, and he stretched it out for us to over two hours. We even got to go into one of the old theaters and look around because the owner was closing up and invited us in, it was such a great night! I highly recommend this tour, it’s obvious Dale loves what he does, and it was so cool getting to hear all the ghost stories, interesting history of the area, and go inside the haunted hotel at the start of the tour — a real treat for a history buff like myself! Old Town Temecula is so pretty at night, and is buzzing with activity, I will always fondly remember our trip there, and the ghost tour!

My wife and I have taken 2 tours with Dale, One on the history of Temecula and the other on the ghosts of Temecula. Both tours were entertaining thanks to Dale’s knowledge and way of presenting the information.

My husband and I had the privilege of taking this amazing 90 minute Candlelight Tour of Old Town Temecula with famous tour guide Dale Garcia. He’s a knowledgable historian & a fantastic storyteller! What made this tour amazing was his warmth, patience, thoughtfulness and passion. He answered each and every question thoroughly and went with the flow of the group so we didn’t feel rushed. He gave us the option of having the «historical» tour or a hybrid tour which includes ghost stories. We toured with an inquisitive bunch and ended up going over the 90 minute limit (by 90 minutes more) and he didn’t even try to charge us extra. In fact, he was incredibly gracious about it and apologized for going over time! Towards the end of the night, he treated us to an E.V.P (electronic voice phenomenon) play back session. We were huddled behind an old closed craft shop which made it even creepier! This was SO much fun and I would highly recommend it for adults, kids and even teens. Next time we’re in Old Town… we’re looking him up! I would encourage a tip, especially if you have a good time :) Thank you Dale!!!
