Great tour, Ely was an excellent tour guide who obviously enjoys what he does. Great stories and a fun group, Fabulous night
It was a lot of fun! The tour guide, Eli, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and animated. We went to a series of pubs that the locals frequented with a variety of ghost stories along the way. It was a great time to see the city, get some drinks, and get our steps in.

Fun and very informative! What started as an adventure, where I told my friend it was for the "fallen soldiers", to get her to join we were met with the best tour guide Eli. He is so passionate about his tours and it shows! Its a joy learning about so much history of the city and all of the activity that happens from those beyond the grave. Liquid courage helped my friends too!

Boring. Lacked relevant content. Would not recommend.
Should have been stories told in the bar/tavern while sitting down. Not standing out side unable to hear what the guide was saying.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand that the experience did not align with what you were hoping for, particularly regarding the outdoor portions of the tour and being able to hear the guide clearly. Our tours are designed to explore the city while sharing its history and paranormal stories along the way, rather than taking place entirely inside the bars or taverns. That said, we appreciate your comments about the listening experience, as clear communication is an important part of any guided tour. We value your feedback and appreciate you giving us the opportunity to hear your perspective.
It was a good blend of drinks, history, and some ghost stories, nothing about it was scary or spooky but I was still a good time!

He was very informative. Personalized the tour for us. He went over his tour time by 40min. So much information!! Loved him!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share such wonderful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that your guide was able to personalize the experience for your group and share so much information along the way.

We truly appreciate you recognizing your guide’s knowledge and enthusiasm, and we’re glad his storytelling made the experience so memorable. Thank you for joining us and for sharing your experience with future guests.
More history than drunken debauchery, which was a welcome change from the usual pub crawl. It was a small and intimate group. Our guide Eli was an ultimate guide, naturally eloquent, ebullient, enthusiastic, and imbued with so much enthusiasm and knowledge. He piqued so much interest in local history that I was left with personal homework to learn more about the local history. Love, love it.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that the blend of local history and the pub crawl format was a welcome change for you, and that the smaller group made the experience feel more intimate. Your kind words about Eli’s enthusiasm, knowledge, and storytelling are especially appreciated. It’s wonderful to know that his stories sparked enough curiosity to inspire some personal research into San Antonio’s history afterward. We’re thrilled the experience left such a lasting impression and truly appreciate you joining us. Thank you for sharing your experience with future guests.
The haunted pub crawl was slightly less than we were expecting. Our tour had three groups for a total of seven “Ghost Busters” and needless to say we were all more entertained by each other than the tour or the “fantasmas” that we encountered! We were told we would be stopping for several pubs and taverns, we were shortchanged with getting one drink at around the halfway point of the crawl. The tour ended rather abruptly when our guide opened the door to the second place we stopped, told us to go inside and have a great night! Not the worst experience, but definitely not something to write home about! Save the storage on your phone and don’t download the app!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that your group was able to enjoy the evening together, though we understand that the overall experience did not meet your expectations.

The ghost stories were interesting but he definitely did not take us to the same pubs like it says in the itinerary and no stop at the Alamo or o Brian’s. We went to a terrible wine bar not historic at all that is flower wine. Didn’t know that’s a thing and horrible wine. Then the Cowabunga bar is the most seedy, dirty dive bar not even safe to order anything other than bottle beer. This should be off the list of stops. The bathroom was the worst I wouldn’t even use it. The tour guide went an hour over the stop time. Still a fun experience but with all the historic bars the rooftop bar and wine bar could have been left out.

It’s a little on the cheesy side, but overall fun if you allow yourself to kick back and relax for 2 hours.

The guide didn’t bother to show up to give the tour. We sat at the meeting spot and waited for almost an hour.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry that your guide did not arrive for the scheduled tour and that you were left waiting at the meeting location.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and would welcome the opportunity to review the reservation details directly so we can better understand what occurred.
This was the greatest tour! Our guide, Joseph, was so knowledgeable and had great knowledge of the paranormal. I learned alot. We were never pressured to purchase a drink but had some good options. The tour was a good blend of walking and resting.

Very fun and informative , met some really nice people and the bars were very different with lots of character.
Informative, fun, definitely worth the price. Our tour guide Jim was awesome. His knowledge of the area and events were on point.
Our guide was amazing and so super knowledgeable! It was as if my husband and I had our own private tour!!
