Best Time to Visit

The witching hour is calling! Evening tours typically run year-round, but autumn brings an extra special atmosphere to these ghostly adventures. October is particularly magical, with special Halloween events that’ll make your spine tingle. Summer evenings can be quite warm and humid, but that’s when the spirits seem most active – or maybe it’s just the heat playing tricks on us! Spring and fall offer the most comfortable temperatures for walking tours. Pro tip: book those weekend slots well in advance – they fill up faster than a ghost disappearing at dawn!

How to Get There

These haunted adventures kick off from various locations in downtown San Antonio, with the main meeting point being near the historic Menger Hotel. If you’re staying downtown, you can easily walk to most tour starting points. For those driving in, there’s plenty of paid parking available in nearby lots and garages. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are great options too, especially if you’re planning to enjoy some liquid courage at dinner before your ghost hunt!

Tips for Visiting

Listen up, ghost hunters! Here’s what you need to know before embarking on your supernatural adventure. First off, wear comfortable walking shoes – you’ll be covering some serious ground. Bring a light jacket even in summer; some spots can get chilly (maybe it’s the spirits?). Don’t forget your camera – you never know what might show up in your photos!

Book your tickets in advance, especially during peak seasons or holidays. The tours aren’t suitable for very young children, but teens usually love it. If you’re doing the dinner tour, arrive hungry – the food’s actually pretty good! Keep an open mind and be respectful of the locations you’re visiting – these are real historical sites with real stories.

Oh, and here’s a secret most folks don’t know: the guides actually research and verify all their stories, so you’re getting legitimate historical information along with your scares. Consider bringing a small flashlight and definitely keep your phone charged for photos. Some tours can last up to three hours, so plan accordingly.

And hey, if you’re a skeptic, that’s totally cool – the historical aspects of the tour are fascinating enough on their own. But I gotta tell ya, even the biggest non-believers have been known to change their tune after experiencing some of the unexplainable events that regularly occur on these tours!
