Fun experience

I was bummed out that my husband and I were the only ones on the tour, but our tour guide was great! It wasn’t awkward at all that we were the only ones. I must add that our guide was an amazing story teller. I just wish I were smart enough to remember his name.

My phone went dead right before I started the tour.

It’s a walking tour. Lots of detailed history with photos and info about the departed who still roam around the rooms and buildings. It was my partner’s favorite event of the weekend.

I enjoyed this walking...

I enjoyed this walking tour in San Antonio. As a traveler, I would have assumed there would be many more ghost stories/experiences in the area that we walked. If nothing else, we definitely got our exercise in. I would recommend doing the tour if you want to experience the city in a different manner. It was pretty cool to do this ghost tour and then the next day, do a daytime tour of the Riverwalk. We saw some of the same places, but learned a lighter side of them. Blake is a great storyteller. I would go on additional tours (of different areas) with him.

Operator response

Thank you so much, Alicia, for the wonderful 5-star review! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring San Antonio with us and seeing the city from a different perspective. Pairing the ghost tour with a daytime Riverwalk visit is such a great idea—it really gives a fun contrast between the darker history and the lighter side of these historic locations. And we couldn’t agree more—Blake is an incredible storyteller! We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. He’ll be thrilled to hear you’d join him again for another tour. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon! Best regards, Walking Tours of San Antonio
