My partner and I love to go on ghost tours when we visit different cities. Weāve 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, āGirls!ā like a teacher scolding school girls. We are in our twenties, but this felt disrespectful as adults who payed for this experience.
TLDR: If youāre 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.
