    Long, and notvat all spooky

    Tour was underwhelming. Guide did a lot of talking while we did a lot of standing. I had thought it essential to go in the dark, but that left me see very little. Not spooky at all.

    Roaming through Haunted San Antonio

    Before leaving for the tour, I highly recommend checking out their store - so many cool gifts! Overalls, we had such a great time with Lee and Mr. T. Lee was well knowledgeable of history in San Antonio and gave us mini history lessons throughout the tour. He kept us engaged and entertained with spooky stories and photos. Visiting hot spots took the tour to another level, especially the cemetery. At each stop, we had the opportunity to explore on our own and take pictures to try to capture a glimpse of some spirits that roam San Antonio!

    Just do it!

    We took the bus tour today, and if you're on the fence about it... do it! Better yet spend the extra money and request Lee as your tour guide. He is hilarious, super informative, and kept everyone entertained while teaching us so much about the area. We learned a lot! A big shoutout to Mr. T, our driver, who got us everywhere safely. Everyone on our tour was fantastic, and we had an amazing time. Highly recommend it! 😊🚌

    Fun

    Very entertaining. Our guide Lee is knowledgeable and funny/corny. 😁 I like that. Mr. T was our driver and suggested a place for breakfast. Tony Gs It was awesome. My cousin and I went and we were 20 on the tour. All were so nice. Lee had great stories. I think it was worth the money and our time. Weather was on our side.

    Great Dark History

    This was a really well done tour. We learned a lot about the dark history of San Antonio. Lady Lex was very well prepared and a great storyteller! I would have liked a few more haunted stops added, but did enjoy it very much. Yes, I would recommend it!

    San Antonio Haunted Ghost Bus Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does San Antonio Haunted Ghost Bus Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $60 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 Haunted Ghost Bus Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Haunted Ghost Bus Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 1,039 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in San Antonio, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule San Antonio Haunted Ghost Bus Tour?

    +

    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 Haunted Ghost Bus Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book San Antonio Haunted Ghost Bus Tour?

    +

    Around 364 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does San Antonio Haunted Ghost Bus Tour 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, Small-Group World Heritage San Antonio Missions Guided 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.
