What to do and see in San Antonio, Texas (TX): The Best Ghost & Vampire Tours

October 10, 2021 Vergie Nakamoto

Step to the beat of wafting flamenco music as you wander the downtown River Walk before sampling as much chili (San Antonio’s signature dish) as your taste buds will allow. A visit to the Alamo is an absolute must, as is taking in a show at the ornate Majestic Theatre. San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is dotted with 18th-century buildings and features, making for an enriching excursion.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and kinda fun so this rating is no way on her. This was my third tour by three different companies and they are all the same. I was hoping for something different for the price like actually going into buildings and doing more than just walk and talk. The traffic and people noise spoils it all. I know they cannot help it, but again for the price I expected something much better.

Ashton guided us through the town and shared interesting spirit stories. She was fan-flippin-tactic, even through distractions on the river walk and a very cute cat that was vying for attention. I felt like I got my money’s worth and more. Ali was also on the tour and helped make it a great experience. So happy we were able to go on this tour!

Our tour guide Laura was very knowledgeable and friendly. She took us to several different locations and told us the back story of each one and of course the haunted history. I learned many things I had never even heard of and because of this tour I plan to return to San Antonio and stay at the Emily Morgan hotel! Such a great time all around. If you're looking for something fun and different to do while in SA this is definitely it! Thanks so much for an amazing tour Laura!
