I had used Ghost City Tours in many cities and LOVE them. However, this time around I arrived for my tour at the front of the Texas Capital and not one person showed up. I called after waiting for 30 minutes and they said that our tour guide was in traffic but they could no longer get in touch with them. Super weird since they are always so well organized. The tour was canceled with no notice. Then, they booked us on the murder (adults only) tour that was an hour later. Our tour guide was late and super flustered. She was not engaging and the stories were too brutal. Everyone on the tour looked extremely bored and miserable. Us, along with a group of 4 others wound up leaving halfway through. To Ghost City Tours credit, I did call and explain that I did not like the tour and they got me on a new one in San Antonio the next night that was awesome!

We are sorry to hear that you didn’t have a 5-star experience with us. It’s extremely unfortunate your guide provided you with this type of situation. It is completely unacceptable, and we assure you that is not the standard we set at our company. To make up for this, we would like to offer you additional free tickets to use in any of our cities, without expiration, in hopes of giving you a much better experience.

Our guide was 20 minutes late. Hard to hear since she talked too fast and voice too high pitched. Nothing “haunted” about her performance. Very disappointed since it seemed more historical than haunting.

It’s extremely unfortunate your guide provided you with this type of tour. It is completely unacceptable, and we assure you that is not the standard we set at our company. We avoid using the word "scary" to describe our tours as it is highly subjective and we certainly don't have any jump scares. However, the stories we tell on our tours are all deeply rooted in the local history, and the facts tend to be bone-chilling on their own. We appreciate all feedback, and we assure you we will use this for future tour improvement. To make up for this, we would like to offer you free tickets to use in any of our cities, without expiration, in hopes of giving you a much better experience.

Bug was an awesome host! Bug made us laugh, gave clear walking instructions, kept us from falling into a weird hole in the sidewalk, and told great stories. Overall an amazing experience.
