Good times
My daughter and I had a lot of fun on the tour. I would say it was more murders than ghosts, but all in all it was a great time.

Fun and entertaining ghost tour!
We managed to fit in the ghost tour on our last night in San Antonio, and it was a fantastic way to wrap up our visit. The tour guide was fantastic! As we began, we were followed by a group of black birds, which really added to the spooky atmosphere. We also met a couple of interesting people along the way, and he handled everything with great professionalism. Plus, we learned some cool historical facts we didn’t know before. The guide had some amazing stories about the places we visited. Someone in our group even managed to get a recorded video of something unexplained at one of the stops (so, don’t forget your cameras!). I was really hoping to spot a ghost myself. In my opinion, I would definitely recommend the tour; it was a blast!

Friday Night in San Antonio
Daniel was a great guide. Streets were somewhat busy and he managed to guide us though the congestion while making sure we could follow and hear him well

Do it!!
Our tour guide Matt was amazing and made the entire tour much better. The pace was good and there was a lot of interesting history as well as the usual things. Would highly recommend!

No Ghosts - Just Hype
Awful awful awful! Not really a ghost tour but more about weird murder stories, and those stories were just completely boring. I would have rather had the homeless people jump-scare me than ever having to do this tour again.

Best Ghost Tour Ever
Great dinner. Celeste was exceptional. She was knowledgeable and very interactive. She gave us more detail than any other guide we had on other tours. I would go on any tour she guided.

Thanks so much for your 5-star review, Tami. Hope to see you again! Best regards, Walking Tours of San Antonio

It’s ok
Ghost and murder is slightly misleading. Was more of a history tour and even then, a little bummed with the material. San Antonio has more history than any other city in Texas so it seems even the history could have been more interesting. The tour climaxed on the first stop and went south from there. Matt did a pretty good job, but he needs better material to make this worth the trip.
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that Matt did a good job as your guide, but we’re sorry we didn’t fully meet your expectations. Our tour combines San Antonio’s history with true crime, murder, and ghost stories connected to the locations we visit, so historical context is an important part of the experience. That said, we appreciate your feedback about the balance of the material and the pacing of the stories throughout the tour. San Antonio has an incredibly rich history, and your comments are helpful as we continue working to make the experience as engaging as possible from beginning to end. Thank you again for joining us and for recognizing Matt’s efforts. Best regards, Walking Tours of San Antonio
