My friend and I had such a good time! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and extremely sweet! We can’t stop talking about it! 100/10 experience!
Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear you and your friend had such a wonderful time. It sounds like your guide made the experience extra special with their knowledge and sweet personality. A 100/10 is the kind of feedback we love to hear! We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to see you both again for another unforgettable experience!
Chris was a great guide. I like to do a ghost tour wherever I travel, and really enjoy it when it's clear the guide has done extra research and may switch it up a bit from time to time; the photos from guests really added to the experience. He ended up telling so many stories we went a little bit long, but the last stop was definitely worth it, even though I was definitely exhausted from a long couple of days. The only thing that detracted from the experience was that, between the cathedral's light show and the Saturday night traffic, the area we were in was so loud, it was difficult to focus on what he was saying in the first half of the tour.
Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that Chris’s extra research, guest photos, and variety of stories made the experience memorable, and that the final stop was worth the extra walking. We also appreciate you mentioning the noise from the cathedral’s light show and Saturday night traffic. While those surroundings can be outside our control, we understand how they can make it harder to hear and fully enjoy the storytelling. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Chris. We hope to have the opportunity to take you on another ghost tour during your next adventure!
Megan was absolutely helpful and a joy to be around. Her knowledge and passion was very apparent as well as how much she cared for the history and preservation of the area. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to explore the downtown area and have another perspective of the many building most people would normally walk past.

Our tour guide Chris, went above and beyond. Our tour went over the 90 minutes because he was so great . He was full of knowledge and history and delivered it with a twist of humor. Well worth the money and would recommend! We had a bathroom break and drink stop if needed. Meeting place was a great location and even though it was a walking tour, we didn’t walk the entire time.

Do not go on game night down town went crazy at the end of our tour
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand that the activity and crowds downtown on game night affected the end of your experience. San Antonio can become particularly busy around major events, and those surroundings are outside the tour itself. We appreciate you bringing this perspective to our attention, as it may be helpful for future guests when choosing a tour date. We hope that, despite the busy atmosphere, you were still able to enjoy the stories and history shared during the tour. Thank you for joining Ghost City Tours.
We did the Madams and Mayhem ghost tour, and Wayne was our guide. He did a great job and clearly knew exactly what he was talking about. He seemed very passionate about the history and stories he shared, which made the tour really interesting. It was just myself and my friend on this particular tour, so it felt very personable, and Wayne did a great job keeping us engaged throughout the experience. I would have given it five stars, but there was a lot more walking than I expected. I may have missed that detail when booking, but I do wish I had realized beforehand how much of a foot tour it would be. My advice: wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a bottle of water because you will get thirsty along the way. Other than that, it was a good experience, and Wayne did a wonderful job sharing the history behind the tour.
Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback! We’re glad to hear that Wayne’s passion for San Antonio’s history and storytelling made the experience engaging, especially with such a small and personable group. We also appreciate you sharing your helpful tips about comfortable shoes and water. Our Madams & Mayhem tour is a walking experience, so your advice may be especially useful to future guests preparing for the evening. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Wayne. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable tour!
