Walking only but avoid problems
You have to walk it or the tour won’t start. There was construction and bums in the area so we tried to drive it but apparently wouldn’t work that way.
Response from the operator: HI, oh, that's a bummer. The tour starts at the Alamo, the most famous spot in Texas. And goes around downtown San Antonio. As noted, this is a walking tour on the WalknTours app. Its developed to be walked :). So driving would not work well as you take the river walk at. one point and it goes to plazas and areas for walking only. In any case, if you'd like a refund, just email me at info@walkntours.com.

Fun date night.
We had fun! The sounds and information were great. I enjoyed more than being with a group. It was easy to follow and on point with the walking and voice starting. It takes you back to where you start. It was a great date night with my husband of 30 years.

Wouldn't start
App required me to be at the exact location to start. Due to construction, that wasn't possible. It would not start the tour. I requested a refund because there is no way to cancel. Very disappointed. We drove to the city just for this

Not my favorite
We have done self guided tours in other cities and they were great. This one was hard to follow and very confusing. We ended up not finishing and going back to our resort. Wasn’t my favorite.

Educational and Fun
We did the San Antonio Ghost tour and it was truly GREAT!! Every step was packed with information and if it was too much we could pause it for our own pace. I grew up in San Antonio and I was amazed at all I learned on the tour. I recommend as a must do. Also Greg in customer service was wonderful at helping us set up the tour on my iPhone. This tour is well worth the time. Thank you!

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Self-Guided Ghost Audio Tour in San Antonio App with EMF Reader: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Antonio.
How much does Self-Guided Ghost Audio Tour in San Antonio App with EMF Reader cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Self-Guided Ghost Audio Tour in San Antonio App with EMF Reader take?
+
Plan for about 0.9 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 Self-Guided Ghost Audio Tour in San Antonio App with EMF Reader worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.1/5 across 12 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 Self-Guided Ghost Audio Tour in San Antonio App with EMF Reader?
+
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 Self-Guided Ghost Audio Tour in San Antonio App with EMF Reader suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Self-Guided Ghost Audio Tour in San Antonio App with EMF Reader?
+
Around 4 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 0.9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Self-Guided Ghost Audio Tour in San Antonio App with EMF Reader 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.
