The Madames and Mayhem Ghost Tour

The Madames and Mayhem Tour is designed exclusively for guests 16 and older due to mature themes, graphic historical content, and uncensored language. This adults-only tour explores the darker side of San Antonio's history, including stories of violence, the Red Light District, tragic deaths, and disturbing hauntings that are not appropriate for younger audiences. We want to ensure all guests have an experience tailored to their age and interests.

This tour includes graphic historical accounts of violence, murder, vice, and the city's former Red Light District. You'll hear uncensored stories about madames, criminals, and tragic deaths, along with some profanity and dark humor. While there are no jump scares or theatrical elements, the content deals with real historical tragedies and disturbing events. It's designed for mature audiences who appreciate unfiltered history and darker ghost stories.

Unlike the family-friendly Ghosts of San Antonio Tour, Madames and Mayhem explores San Antonio's darker, grittier history without censorship. This tour focuses on stories of vice, violence, and the city's criminal underworld that shaped its haunted legacy. The content is more graphic, the language is uncensored, and the stories delve into mature themes like the Red Light District, brutal murders, and vengeful spirits. It's for those who want the full, unfiltered story of San Antonio's haunted past.

The Madames and Mayhem Ghost Tour is a 90-minute walking tour through historic downtown San Antonio. You'll visit several haunted locations while hearing chilling stories about the city's dark past. The tour covers approximately 1 mile at a comfortable pace with stops along the way. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes.

The Madames and Mayhem Ghost Tour runs nightly at 8pm and 9pm, seven days a week, year-round. We operate tours rain or shine, including holidays. We recommend booking in advance as this popular adults-only tour frequently sells out, especially on weekends and during peak tourist seasons.

The tour meets in front of the Bexar County Courthouse at 100 Dolorosa Street in downtown San Antonio. Your tour guide will be waiting in the open area in front of the courthouse. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to check in. Parking is very limited in downtown San Antonio, so we strongly recommend taking an Uber, Lyft, or pedicab to the meeting location to avoid parking hassles.

Yes, all tours offered by Ghost City Tours, including the The Madames and Mayhem Ghost Tour is a walking Ghost Tour. Don't worry, our tours are only about a mile in length and you'll have plenty of chances to sit and enjoy the stories along the way. Why be crammed into a Trolley, next to people you don't know, when you can experience our haunted locations as they were meant to be experienced?
