    Kept to a small group, this walk covers San Antonio's history and its darker past by stopping at several landmarks and pausing to hear their eerie stories. The route runs down the River Walk, through the Alamo, and past a few hotels and a theater, with the operator describing the paranormal activity said to lurk behind their walls. The small-group size suits travelers who want a more personal pace and a guide they can actually hear, rather than a large crowd trailing behind a single voice.

    San Antonio has one of the deepest haunted rosters in Texas, and a landmark-to-landmark walking format is a natural way to tie the city's dark history to the places where it happened. Because you move on foot between stops, this works as an atmospheric overview that pairs sightseeing with storytelling. If you would rather ride between locations or carry ghost-hunting gear, other formats exist; this one is about walking the River City and listening. Bring comfortable shoes and expect an outdoor evening pace.
