★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 315 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $30Best value

Walk downtown San Antonio after dark with guides such as Robert, Jonathan, David, or Kaylie, hearing stories of murders, unusual deaths, ghosts, and reported hauntings. The two-hour tour also explains paranormal investigation methods. Expect outdoor storytelling, stairs, uneven ground, and no guaranteed entry into haunted buildings.

“This is a good tour if you’re really in to the history of the “ghosts “ in the town. However, it is not enjoying for those who really want to go into buildings and experience the tour. Mainly walking and talking about buildings not going into them”
