Walking only but avoid problems
You have to walk it or the tour won’t start. There was construction and bums in the area so we tried to drive it but apparently wouldn’t work that way.
Operator response
HI, oh, that's a bummer. The tour starts at the Alamo, the most famous spot in Texas. And goes around downtown San Antonio. As noted, this is a walking tour on the WalknTours app. Its developed to be walked :). So driving would not work well as you take the river walk at. one point and it goes to plazas and areas for walking only. In any case, if you'd like a refund, just email me at info@walkntours.com.

Fun date night.
We had fun! The sounds and information were great. I enjoyed more than being with a group. It was easy to follow and on point with the walking and voice starting. It takes you back to where you start. It was a great date night with my husband of 30 years.

Wouldn't start
App required me to be at the exact location to start. Due to construction, that wasn't possible. It would not start the tour.
I requested a refund because there is no way to cancel. Very disappointed. We drove to the city just for this

Not my favorite
We have done self guided tours in other cities and they were great. This one was hard to follow and very confusing. We ended up not finishing and going back to our resort. Wasn’t my favorite.

Educational and Fun
We did the San Antonio Ghost tour and it was truly GREAT!! Every step was packed with information and if it was too much we could pause it for our own pace. I grew up in San Antonio and I was amazed at all I learned on the tour. I recommend as a must do. Also Greg in customer service was wonderful at helping us set up the tour on my iPhone. This tour is well worth the time. Thank you!

Fun tour
This was so fun and easy to do! The narration was great. The directions from one stop to the next were so easy to follow. My friend and I loved the pause feature so we could stop to shop in stores we walked by. I plan on doing it again!

Best Ghost Tour for Those Who Like Flexibility
I loved this! It was the perfect walking tour for me, because I get distracted easily and want to explore more or check out places/bars/shops I think look neat along the way, and it's hard to do that with groups. I even got to grab dinner and drinks at one of the places I liked while on the tour (paused it) and then finished the tour when I was done. Loved it! :D Thank you so much!

App doesn't work
Had to download an app that wouldn't work. Had to download an app. Had to find the tour I paid for and then there was no way to add the code that I paid for it to use the guided tour. Very difficult to use.
