Founded by 12th-generation Texan Lauren Swartz and her husband James, Sisters Grimm Ghost Tours has been keeping San Antonio delightfully spooky since 2011. Their award-winning walks and bus adventures weave authentic history with...
The guides here absolutely shine, with names like Elizabeth Decay, Lady Lex, Graveyard Greg, and Dark Alley coming up repeatedly for their entertaining storytelling and deep knowledge of San Antonio's dark history. People genuinely love how these guides balance spooky tales with historical facts, and several reviewers mention getting extra time or learning something new even on repeat visits. The tours include both walking and bus options, with stops at graveyards and historic sites around the city. Most visitors walk away impressed by how informative and engaging the experience is, especially appreciating the nighttime atmosphere when it's cooler and less crowded. A couple of reviewers noted this is more of a history-focused tour that stays outside buildings rather than going inside or using ghost-hunting equipment, so adjust expectations if you're looking for a heavily paranormal-focused experience. The shop itself gets positive mentions too. Overall, it's a well-loved activity that works for families and gives you a fun way to explore San Antonio's grimmer past.
This is a must see experience. We booked the 9pm bus tour and quickly realized it’s a great way to see the city. Our guide Sean provided a balance of historical and creepy information. A true crime lover’s dream. The shopkeeper, Lili, is a delight. Her book recommendations were spot on. Thank you Sisters Grimm for a fantastic experience.
