Short Description
  • The Madames & Mayhem Ghost Tour is San Antonio's only late-night adult's only ghost tour. Ghost City Tours spills the sordid and sinister secrets of San Antonio's past. Visit the San Antonio wasn’t just shaped by saints and soldiers—it was built on scandal, violence, and a roaring red-light district where madams ruled and bullets often settled arguments. The Madames & Mayhem Tour is a 90-minute adults-only walk through the city’s haunted heart, uncovering tales of prostitution, public executions, unsolved murders, and the ghosts they left behind.
  •  You’ll visit the shadowy side of the Spanish Governor’s Palace, where the Tree of Sorrows once hosted hangings so brutal their spirits still replay in ghostly loops. Hear about a tragic servant girl whose ghost lingers at the bottom of a well, and the infamous outlaw Bob Augustine, lynched in front of a crowd after threatening a judge and jury.
  •  The tour winds through the Sporting District, once one of the largest red-light zones in America, where madam Fannie Porter welcomed outlaws like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Stop by the Cadillac Bar, rumored to be built atop a burial ground, and learn why guests still encounter a furious spirit in white known only as Beatrice.
  •  From the haunted jail now disguised as a Holiday Inn Express, to the Gunter Hotel’s grisly 1965 murder mystery that left a room soaked in blood—and never fully cleaned—this tour is packed with true tales of vice, vengeance, and restless ghosts. Equal parts history and hauntings, Madames & Mayhem reveals the stories the city tried to bury.
