tripadvisorIf you're expecting a ghost tour, you need to find another company for that. This is more of a folklore and myths tour and mentally puts you in old San Antonio. Randy is a great story teller!
MoreAfter speaking with Randy 3 times, he was a no show. He had my phone number. I called him & texted 3 times. I have still not heard from him. There was also another couple there that he stood up. Save yourself the aggravation!
MoreTook this tour a few days ago, and am still angry about it. Maybe the tour guide was having a really off night, but many people on our tour left before it ended because we simply could not understand the guide. I am not sure if he was trying to act, or if he had some sort of medical or other problem that affected his speech, but it did seem that his speaking was clear and normal both before and after the tour. So, perhaps this is a voice that he adopts for the tour? He gave no explanation of it if it was a character-- especially since he was not in any costume that would have gone along with the character he was attempting to portray. He was unintelligible in his speech, and he even said in the first 30 seconds that this is NOT a ghost tour--- I am NOT a ghost tour guide, I am a storyteller of lore and a professional liar. Uh..... so, why is your company named SilverGHOST tours? It was a horrible evening, and I felt sorry for many of the people who were tourists. I only traveled from an hour or so away, so I wasn't technically on vacation, but almost everyone else on the tour was. He should rename the tour to Randy Tells Hokey Legends Along the Riverwalk. At least that wouldn't mislead people. But, at least he WAS honest about one thing--- he did, indeed, tell many mistruths along the way. Being an area resident who was with visiting friends for the weekend, I knew about the area. Wow--- he told some real whoppers, but I didn't want to stop the tour and call him out on it. Let's see.... he said that Kerrville was founded by the French, which must be news to them since it in no way whatsover was founded by the French. He also said that Davey Crockett wasn't a real person (uhm, he was) and so many other things that I thought that maybe his personal entertainment, perhaps, was coming from pulling the wool over the tourists' eyes. He seems like he is probably a nice older man personally, but you can't take people's money and deliver such a horrible and misleading product. But, had I read reviews beforehand, I would have known what to expect. It was my mistake in not doing that, so I only have myself to blame.
MoreUhm, wow. Literally just finished the tour and thought I would write this before anyone else was unsuspectingly duped into this. I'm not sure if the gentleman was trying to portray a character or why he inexplicably began speaking with a horrid Irish brogue meets the Wild West accent, but literally the tour began with 18 and ended with 9--- and the Guide literally never asked why people were leaving. I can tell you why: we do not know what you were saying. He spoke with his back to us, he didn't use a mic, he mumbled, he never made eye contact, he was literally so used to telling these stories that he had no passion and seemed to be on auto-pilot. I am so appalled that someone like this would have the audacity to take tourists' money. Are there no regulations for theses types of operators? Of those that didn't bolt from the tour, most were eye-rolling or openly angrily talking about how horrible this tour was. There were no-- none, nada, zilch-- ghost stories. Only hokey old legends that where horribly told, waaaaaaaay too long, and boring. Plus, at the end of the tour as we passed the Tower of Americas, he inexplicably described two suicides in the 70s in awful detail and then made flippant comments about the bodies when they hit. For his sake, he should hope he never has a family member of one of those young men on the tour. Very inappropriate and odd. The best part of this tour was when it ended.
MoreRandy is not a ghost hunter. He is a story teller, and his stories are all true. His delivery was spot on and very entertaining. Don't miss this.
