"Haunted" pub crawl

The folks running it were great, but some of the locations were a little meh in terms of being "haunted", more like haunted adjacent. Still a fairly good time with some interesting tidbits.

Fun, not scary, no ghosts seen.

The bus tour haunted pub crawl was fun, not scary at all. We stopped at three bars. The first two were amazing. The third was too modern and lacked a haunted vibe. Our guide Lee was entertaining and made the tour worthwhile.

Excellent night out

This was a great tour, and Lexi was an excellent guide. Not only was her characterization and storytelling great, but when the tour ran into a snag---an extremely rude manager from a hotel whose bar this tour regularly frequents, with permission---she handled it with aplomb. My favorite part of the night was a conversation with her about our own real-life experiences, which is not something one usually gets to do during a group tour.

Great Tour

Had a wonderful time! Ghost tours are always fun way to see “the other side” of a city! Lady Lex and Robert took very good care of us and no spirits hitched a ride home.

San Antonio Ghost Bus Pub Crawl: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Antonio.

How much does San Antonio Ghost Bus Pub Crawl cost?

+

Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Antonio usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does San Antonio Ghost Bus Pub Crawl take?

+

Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Antonio is not rushed.

Is San Antonio Ghost Bus Pub Crawl worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Antonio, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule San Antonio Ghost Bus Pub Crawl?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is San Antonio Ghost Bus Pub Crawl suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 21. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book San Antonio Ghost Bus Pub Crawl?

+

Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Antonio can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Antonio and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does San Antonio Ghost Bus Pub Crawl start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Antonio within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in San Antonio?

+

San Antonio runs River Walk cruises and dinner tours, Alamo and mission trail history walks, ghost tours through the old quarter, and Hill Country wine and cave trips. Mission tours vary in whether they cover all five UNESCO sites. On Outty we rank every San Antonio experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Escape Game San Antonio: Epic 60-Minute Adventures at The Rim, Walking Tour Along the San Antonio Riverwalk And Around Downtown, San Antonio Haunted Ghost Bus Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit San Antonio?

+

March to May and October to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in San Antonio?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What is included in San Antonio Ghost Bus Pub Crawl?

+
