What parents say
"I’ve done many ghost tours across the country, but I’m happy to say this one close to home is one of the best. The Lady Lex is an outstanding guide who keeps the stories engaging and dramatic - as well as historically accurate! I walked over to Milam Park the next morning to learn more and she covered it all (and in a much more interesting way than the historical marker :) She had the bus driver, Cindy, for comedic backup, as well as a very nice screen and full presentation. It also didn’t hurt at all that there was an outstanding bar at all three of our major stops, putting this tour way over"

"I went on the haunted bus tour with my mom and we had lots of fun! We went on the 8 pm tour and our tour guide Sean was an awesome character! Cindy was our bus driver and really funny. The whole experience was great and entertaining. Lots of history in the city of San Antonio! We loved the cemetery tour the most because it was creepy and dark. The Menger hotel was also really cool and drop dead gorgeous. We love antiques and that was this whole hotel!"

"My daughter and I decided to take the bus tour. Our driver was Robert. And our guide was Lee. We had a great time. Lee had so much information on the history of San Antonio and the paranormal sightings here in San Antonio the most haunted places. A wealth of information. And he made it fun along the way. And also exciting and spooky. We both had such a great time. We will be sure to do this again. We took pictures of the cemetery and places we seen didn’t catch any spirits but was great fun"
