4.San Antonio Haunted History Ghost Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 771 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.)

Walk San Antonio after dark with guides such as Graveyard Greg, Stewart, Hailey, and Lauren, hearing ghost tales tied to the Menger Hotel, the Alamo, and the Spanish Governor’s Palace. This family-friendly tour stays outdoors, lasts about 90 minutes, and suits ages 7 and up.

“Don’t waste your money. This tour is literally mostly just walking around with some hard to believe stories. You do not go into any building. The guide stopped in the middle of the tour and never mentioned why. I did ask and she said it was a break which was not advertised or needed for hot weather as tour at night. Definitely skip this tour!”
