Great! Recommend giving this a try! - Did the “Madames and Mayhem Walking Ghost Tour” in June of 2024 and loved it! It was at 9pm and there was a group of 6 people at the tour. My tour guide was Jimmy Ray and was super sweet and answered all questions! We went around different areas of San Antonio, one location was a little more unpleasant than others in terms of few disruptive homeless people, but we didn’t stay there too long to be in danger. There were about 4 other tour guides during the time we went and passed by so I’m assuming all these tours go through this area. However, the tour was great and loved learning little facts about different areas and seeing the cool old buildings everywhere!

Awesome tour - The guy was very knowledgeable about the history and the spirits. I love learning about history so I was pleasantly surprised that he knew a lot of the background of the spirits he was talking about.

History, not Ghost Tour - My partner and I love to go on ghost tours when we visit different cities. We’ve personally had paranormal experiences in San Antonio, so we were really excited for a thrilling/scary ghost tour on the last night of our trip. We specifically chose the Madams and Mayhem tour instead of the family friendly one, in hopes to hear more dark and demonic stories focused on paranormal experiences rather than just historical facts. While the tour we received was very informative, it was exactly the experience we were hoping to forgo. Our tour guide was much more focused on the history and we heard little to none about the resultant ghosts and paranormal activity at the locations we visited. The locations advertised for this tour such as the Alamo and the Emily Morgan Hotel were reasons why we chose this tour and we were disappointed that we did not visit either of these locations. Additionally, my partner and I wished to take pictures at the various locations and make small comments to each other about the old stories we were hearing. The tour guide seemed frustrated by these things and would make a point to wait until everyone was paying attention (we were not the only group that was treated this way). There was a total of five on this tour, which maybe was why he was focused on everyone listening with such a small number. Even so at one point while we were walking to the next location, he began an impromptu story and attempted to get our attention by calling out, “Girls!” like a teacher scolding school girls. We are in our twenties, but this felt disrespectful as adults who payed for this experience. TLDR: If you’re looking for a lesser known history tour of downtown San Antonio that starts at night, this is perfect for you! But if you are looking for a ghost tour, look elsewhere.

Not a Ghost Tour - This is a difficult review to write as there were good points and disappointments. First the good points: Our tour guide was very personable and passionate about his narrative. It was obvious that he spent a good deal of time fact gathering. Most appreciated was that he waited with us at the end of the tour until our Uber arrived. Disappointments were several - culminating in a regret that this is the tour we selected. (1) There were only 3 of us on the tour. We were instructed to be in front of the Bexar County Courthouse no later than 8:45pm. The guide did not show up until about 9:02....we kept thinking we were in the wrong place. (2) The delivery was not at all what was expected. The guide told us that they were given scripts to follow. But he chose to write his own script as he wanted factual information and not legends/lore. What we got was a 1.5 hour tour with a history of San Antonio with 2 or 3 anecdotes about ghosts thrown in. (3) The guide added too much of his life history into his narrative. As far as a recommendation for this tour.....I strongly suggest that you ask who the guide will be and their approach to the tour and narrative. What we received may be exactly what you are looking for. But it was not what was advertised and we were very disappointed - leaving us to wish we had selected a different tour operator.
