Not happy.

Noe_B, Apr 2024

We did not make it to the tour as we had to park far away from the meeting point due to a festival going on and streets being block. Try switching time for a later one or cancelling, but was told told do to their policy there was nothing they can do for us.

Great time!

Sam_W, Apr 2024

I didn't know that San Antonio was as haunted as it is. Our guide was wonderful! Highly recommend. You learn so much history and ghosts

Loved the stories to...

Richard_T, Apr 2024

Loved the stories to connect with the “spirits”. Very interesting and fun. Our guide was great. Lots of laughs along the way.

Fun time

Erica_D, Jan 2024

Josh was a great tour guide with great knowledge of the history as well as fun side stories! We had a great time!

Save your money. Don't book this for

Susan_W, Dec 2023

We didn't see any paranormal activity which makes me think this was a hoax. Guide was knowledgeable. Tour info said we would go to the Alamo Cathedral which was the only reason we booked this tour. That's was false advertising statement. According to the guide. "Rangers get mad at us". Dave your money.

Guide canceled 1 hour before tour. No refund.

Steven_M, Dec 2023

Our tour was canceled by the guide service 1 hour before the tour. I can't obtain a refund, so we have scheduled again tonight. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Fun evening

Pattie_B, Nov 2023

First of all, I thought it was more about the Alamo (my bad) so I’m glad we went to the Alamo earlier. Otherwise, I would have been really disappointed. Our guide was great, spoke a little too fast, but had lots of great stories to tell. Loved hearing the stories about the different hotels and thankful we weren’t staying in one of those! All in all, I would recommend this for a fun night activity.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

We are glad to hear that you very much enjoyed your tour! We appreciate your gratitude and hope that you will join us again for another tour!

The Tour That You Don't Really Want To Take

Toni_B, Oct 2023

Nothing, it was the most God awful tour that I have been on. Our tour guide was ineffective and horrible!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

thanks for your feedback. We are sorry the tour did not meet your expectations. If you'd like to try a different experience, please reach out to our guest service team. WE'd like a chance to make it right

No biggie

Henry_A, Oct 2023

It’s was okay, would I do it again? No. The tour guy was very informative but I thought we’ll get to go in the buildings, it was a walking tour, not very thrilling.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thanks for your feedback. Indeed, we are the number one walking ghost tour company in the US. This means, all of our tours are walking. We do not enter locations due to operating hours, extra fees, private property or city regulations. We are sorry the tour did not meet your expectations

Ghost Tour

Kyla_W, Oct 2023

We had a wonderful tour guide who included stories he’s heard from other groups which added to the experience! We learned so many interesting things and would recommend taking this tour

Response from Host, Oct 2023

We appreciate your feedback, We are very pleased to hear your tour was to your liking! Please come back to GCT for another run through the city!

Alamo

Elyse_M, Oct 2023

I loved the teddy rosevelt statue. I enjoyed walking around the Alamo and seeing potential ghosts. It was very interesting how history is connected.

Fun horror stories of Old San Antonio

Darlene_N, Jul 2022

Learning about all the gruesome deaths that have occurred in the area especially the one at the Gunter Hotel.

Crappy

paul_r, Jul 2022

The tour guide was horrible. Not a good storyteller, more of a rambler. He (we) actually had the Alamo police come and kick us out. I’m not sure why, but it was very sketchy.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Lots of repeated stories...

Joe_D, Jul 2022

Lots of repeated stories by the guide. Took 35 mins longer than advertised. Not bad, just less of an experience than I was expecting.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

We are sorry to hear that you didn’t have a 5-star experience with us. All feedback is appreciated, and we will use this to see how we can improve future tours. We are glad you still had a good time with us and we hope to be able to give you some amazing experiences in the future!

SMH 🤦‍♂️ wow!

Aida_B, Jul 2022

First things first. No curtsy at all. No water after all the walking forever. Two. On web it makes it seem like you’ll be going into these locations but no. Instead just stand outside hearing unimportant information. Three. I felt like I got used for my money and time. SMH 🤦‍♂️ please do better.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

We are sorry to hear that you didn’t have a 5-star experience with us. All feedback is appreciated, and we will use this to see how we can improve future tours. Unfortunately, we don't have a storefront in San Antonio so we aren't able to have water for our guests. But we would like to offer you free tickets in the amount of your purchase with a redeemable code to use in any of our cities, without expiration, in hopes to give you a much better experience.

Mediocre

Stephanie_L, Jun 2022

From my 19 year old son who I bought this for: It was alright, the guide got off topic a lot while we were walking. Talking about the placement of a stop sign that was just put there. Random dumb stuff like that. There was a huge group of little kids so we didn’t get the scariest of stuff.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

We completely understand that our all-ages tours can be less exciting for individuals eager to hear the darker and more gruesome history. We appreciate this feedback, and we will use this for future improvements. If you would like, we would love to have you experience our adults-only tour so you can enjoy the more exciting and descriptive paranormal history. We would also like to offer you free tickets with a redeemable code to use in any of our cities, without expiration, in hopes to give you a much better experience.
