This tour was fascinating from the beginning to the end. Sean, our guide, has to be the number one guide in the business. He shared his knowledge in a way that totally held our attention. And above that, he willingly showed the tour group additional nuggets of history and information that really wasn’t part of the tour. Book the tour and you won’t be disappointed.

Good historical information and a great way to get around to major sites in San Antonio. I would book again.
Tour guide was fun and good at keeping everyone entertained. The cemetery was my daughter’s favorite part.
Sean and Patrick were very entertaining and made our group of 6 worthwhile. The bus itself had a screen that showed photos while story telling/traveling to the other sites. Honestly the best ghost tour I've been on and a fun way to end my work trip. I highly recommend also stopping inside the Sister's Grimm Oddities shop.
Very interesting history of San Antonio our tour guide gas us. Dark Alley, was very easy to follow her instructions and stories.
I have been on a lot of haunted tours and this one was by far the best. From the moment we walked in to Sisters Grimm the lady behind the counter was awesome and very helpful and knowledgeable. Then we went on the tour and Lady Lex was the absolute best!!!!! She really knew her stuff and was great at keeping us entertained and just having a good time. I would highly recommend if you are in San Antonio to do this tour well worth the money and time!!!!! ——Brad & Gabby
Easy booking, great pricing. A little hard to find the shop at first if you’re not familiar with San Antonio. Definitely recommend the bus tour with A/C in the heat. Sean was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide and Jeremiah did a great job driving and keeping the ghost stories as the only scares. We went on a weeknight which cut down on the traffic, crowds, and group size which freed up the guide to answer more questions.
Dark Allie was a great story teller. Even though she handled the other patrons like children when they would not stop talking over her. But really, how do you handle people like that. Well worth the cost of the ticket.
My mom and I had a really fun time on this tour. We loved all the history and stories our guide shared. Having the bus was the best, especially given its very hot and humid right now but having the break in between stops to hear more stories made the experience more enjoyable. We even got to see a couple small bats flying in the graveyard! Highly recommend for anyone who loves history and true crime!
Tour was underwhelming. Guide did a lot of talking while we did a lot of standing. I had thought it essential to go in the dark, but that left me see very little. Not spooky at all.
