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!

Fun tour - This was so fun and easy to do! The narration was great. The directions from one stop to the next were so easy to follow. My friend and I loved the pause feature so we could stop to shop in stores we walked by. I plan on doing it again!

Best Ghost Tour for Those Who Like Flexibility - I loved this! It was the perfect walking tour for me, because I get distracted easily and want to explore more or check out places/bars/shops I think look neat along the way, and it's hard to do that with groups. I even got to grab dinner and drinks at one of the places I liked while on the tour (paused it) and then finished the tour when I was done. Loved it! :D Thank you so much!

App doesn't work - Had to download an app that wouldn't work. Had to download an app. Had to find the tour I paid for and then there was no way to add the code that I paid for it to use the guided tour. Very difficult to use.

Don’t do this past sun set. Our family was cornered and jumped by 3 men. - An absolute one, we were out of the car for max 2 minutes before we were jumped. Three men cornered us and took our info and cash.

No tour - I was unable to download the app so was not able to do the tour. I'm sure it would have been great if I could have heard it.
