Take a walk through the eerie and mysterious history of San Antonio with this ghost tour, which covers haunted tales and paranormal accounts of notorious Texas events. Starting and finishing at The Alamo, your guides, dressed in historic costumes and carrying lanterns, lead you through the Old Town's streets. Learn about the past of the city, narrated by guides the operator describes as passionate and skilled at bringing history to life. This ghost tour offers a look at the hidden sights and grisly stories that are part of the history of San Antonio.
This is the lantern-and-costume version of a San Antonio ghost walk. Guides in historic dress lead you on foot through Old Town, starting and finishing at The Alamo, and the tone leans into eerie tales, paranormal accounts, and the grisly side of the city's past. That makes it a fit for travelers who want atmosphere and storytelling over a dry history lecture, and for anyone who likes the theatrical staging of costumed, lantern-lit guides. It is an evening, walking-based experience, so expect to be on your feet in the streets of the old city.
San Antonio offers plenty of other formats, from pub crawls to bus tours to hands-on ghost hunting, so the question is what mood you want. This one is story-forward and character-driven rather than an investigation with equipment, and it centers the plaza area around the Alamo. If you would rather chase documented history in daylight or want a drink-in-hand crawl, a different option fits better; if you want costumed guides and dark tales after dark, this is the lane.
