It was a very pleasant and relaxing experience. The guide we had was very knowledgeable, and he certainly knew his San Antonio history. It was not your typical "ghost tour", but it was still an awesome and great experience.

Don't Don’t do it

Jorge_C, Feb 2026

There was little to no mention of madams. We had to ask about it. The tour in general was poorly done with very little ghost stories. At one point we had to tell the guide about ghost stories in the places we went

It was a very pleasant...

Spooky fun!

Great experience! We went during festival, so our tour had to be modified slightly, but Chris made it worth it!

Our guide was very fun with a great sense of humor, he was knowledgeable of legitimate history and the spooky stories behind them.

Fascinating! San Antonio has some dark history!

Our guide Joshua was fantastic! The tour was interesting. The customer service was top notch! We had a little difficulty locating the meet up location, we called and immediately was given clear instructions. Thank you!

Change the Tour Title

Tour title was not indicative of what is presented. This was more of a history lesson. Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, but we were looking for more of an entertaining tour- less education I guess. Maybe market the tour differently because I am sure some are looking of this...we were not.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

unheard tales

Briana_S, Apr 2022

the stories were interesting and authentic rather than being cheesy like many tours !! all the stories were ones I have not heard before which I loved as a ghost story junkie !!

Response from Host, May 2022

That’s awesome! Thanks for letting us know! We hope to see you again soon.

Worth it 2x

Jymmy our guide was factual! Just loved her stories. I’ve been a visitor many times and have never learned so much in such a short period. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Jymmy for sharing we could tell you love San Antonio.
