We'll take you to the Most Haunted Places in historic San Antonio

Here at Ghost City, we like pushing the envelope, offering tourists and locals alike a chance to join our Guides and journey into areas of San Antonio that are not always the places where tourists dare to venture. All of the locations we visit on our Ghost Tours are carefully chosen and researched.

Telling the true story about our ghosts and hauntings is the backbone of Ghost City. We don't stoop to telling stories about Vampires, Zombies, or other nonsense. However, you will hear the authentic haunted history of San Antonio, our local legends and folklore, and first-hand accounts of hauntings.

The Alamo, one of San Antonio's most haunted locations

The Alamo

Perhaps the most historically significant building in San Antonio, the Alamo is famous around the World for the battle which took place here. It is also pretty famous for its ghosts.

You'll hear the stories of Patriots who gave their lives in defense of the Alamo - and who we think is still haunting the Alamo today. While we do not go inside the Alamo on our tours, the Alamo was much bigger than the walls suggest.

The Menger Hotel, the Hotel which many people consider the most haunted Hotel in San Antonio

The Menger Hotel

Located right beside the Alamo, the Menger Hotel is considered by many to be the most haunted Hotel in San Antonio, if not all of Texas. During our first trip to San Antonio, we stayed at this haunted hotspot and had experiences with the Menger's ghosts. It certainly seems to live up to its' reputation as one of San Antonio's most haunted places.

The Emily Morgan Hotel, one of the most haunted locations in San Antonio

The Emily Morgan Hotel

Located right next to the historic Alamo Plaza, the Emily Morgan Hotel was recently rated the third most haunted hotel in the entire world. Once a medical center in the early 1900s, the Emily Morgan has been the site of all sorts of paranormal activity.

Apparitions, dancing orbs, and ghostly visitors to the living remind all that stay at the Emily Morgan Hotel that they are not alone. Not when they stroll through the building during the day, and especially not when they climb into bed and settle in for the night.

The Crockett Hotel. Many people consider this to be one of San Antonio's most haunted places

The Crockett Hotel

This historic hotel sits just across from the haunted Alamo, once the site of Texas' bloodiest battle in the fight for Independence. However, the Crockett Hotel has secrets, including the fact that the site of the hotel is actually where all of that bloodshed took place. Rumored to be one of the most haunted hotels in San Antonio, we can only harbor a guess as to who is still haunting its corridors. One thing is for certain, the ghosts of the Crockett Hotel are here to stay.

The ghost of El Muerto, in San Antonio

The Ghost of El Muerto

Once upon a time, South Texas was a No Man’s Land filled with outlaws. The baddest of all of the outlaws was the notorious cattle thief, Vidal. To clean up the lawlessness of No Man’s Land, Texas Rangers were assigned.

But legend has it that Vidal still roams the open land in Southeast Texas... only, he is no long living ... nor does he have a head anymore. He goes by the name, 'El Muerto.'

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that you may have some questions about our Ghost Tours - and you don't want to call. Below you can find the answers to some of the most commonly asked questions we get about our tours.

Are these walking tours?

ALL of our Ghost Tours in San Antonio are Walking Tours. You do have other options, such as Trolley Ghost Tours. To FEEL the energy that our ghosts give off, you have to be in the actual places where the haunting takes place. Imagine walking through a haunted alley with all of the lights out or standing on what was once a battlefield. Are you already feeling the tingles up your spine?

  • Walking Tours allow you to immerse yourself in the stories we tell.
  • Walking is good for you, and it is a great way to walk off that amazing dinner you just had!
  • You're not crammed into a vehicle, almost certainly squished in next to someone you'd rather not be squished up against.

Ghost City has never sold Groupon vouchers - and we never will. There are companies which offer their tickets for sale on Groupon. And if you're not worried about the quality of the tour you're getting, you can certainly spend some time on Groupon or Living Social and find tickets.

We know that our experiences are of the highest quality, with thousands of 5-star reviews from tourists and locals who have enjoyed them. Also, we often sell out - especially on the weekends and on Holidays. There is simply no reason why we'd sell our tours on Groupon.

There are a few options to take a ghost tour by vehicle. For example, in San Antonio, you can choose from a Trolley Ghost Tour or even one in a horse-drawn-carriage.

If you're interested in taking one of these trolley ghost tours or a hearse ghost tour, you'll have to go to those companies' websites and buy from them. We believe that walking tours are the best way to experience paranormal activity in San Antonio.

We understand that you may have your heart set on riding around the haunted streets of San Antonio in a Hearse or Trolley, but you cannot do this from Ghost City. If you want a paranormal experience that is truly spooky, Ghost City is the way to go.

Some locations allow us to come in; most don't. Many of the locations that you'll be visiting are private residences. Obviously, the residents would not be happy about us coming into their homes. Therefore we do not go into most of the locations we visit.

You can reschedule your Ghost Tour at any time, even after your Tour. We offer a Money Back Guarantee on all of our tours - if you take it and don't like it, we'll refund your entire purchase. If you need assistance, please call us at 855-999-0491.

When it comes to buying tickets for our tours, the following classes of tickets are based on age.

  • Ages 0-5: We do not charge anything for anyone 5 or under. They get to attend our tours for free!
  • Ages 6-11: This is considered a child ticket as defined by the city of San Antonio.
  • Ages 12+: This age range is considered an adult ticket.

Keep in mind that some of our tours are simply for ages 16+ or 21+ only. For those tours, there is only one ticket type you can choose from.

All of our Tours run 7 days per week. In addition, we often open up additional time slots for our tours as the original time sells out. If you want to book a tour, Ghost City Tours will ensure that we are able to fit you in a tour. We still advise you to purchase your tickets as soon as you know which tour you want to take.

Purchasing tickets for our Ghost Tours

You can purchase your tickets online or by phone. In either case, you'll receive your tickets immediately via email. You must buy your tickets in advance.
