About this tour
Discover the haunted side of downtown with a San Antonio Self-Guided Ghost Audio Tour that starts at the historic Alamo. Follow GPS-guided narration through stories of local spirits, including the legend of the Alamo’s defenders and the fate of Santa Anna’s soldiers.
The WalknTours app pairs theatrical narration and music with a built-in EMF reader. There’s no in-person guide or fixed schedule: start when you’re ready, pause for a drink or a break, and continue at your own pace. The experience is outdoors, so building admission is not included. After completing the San Antonio Self-Guided Ghost Audio Tour on location, you can listen again virtually whenever you like. The tour never expires, making it easy to revisit the stories or share them later.
Bring your smartphone, meet at the Alamo, and set out to hear the city’s ghost stories on your own terms.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 3.08 from 12 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in San Antonio
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.3.
