Alamo Plaza Historic District
Sisters Grimm Ghost Tours was founded by San Antonio natives Lauren and James Swartz, who also co-wrote the book "The Haunted History of Old San Antonio" and operate the Sisters Grimm Oddities Parlor, a retail shop located beside the Menger Hotel on Alamo Plaza. The company states it has been rated in the top 3 ghost tours in the country by USA Today for five consecutive years.
The company runs three public products: the Ghost Bus Tour, its most popular offering, which includes exclusive interior access to the Menger Hotel and a stop at one of San Antonio's oldest cemeteries; the all-ages Haunted History Ghost Walk; and the 21-and-up Haunted Pub Crawl, also bus-based. A fourth, fully custom private-tour option is available by request without a fixed price or route.

The Ghost Bus Tour's own description centers the Menger Hotel, which the operator bills as "the most haunted hotel in Texas," offering guests exclusive interior access as part of the tour. The route also includes roughly 30 minutes in one of San Antonio's oldest cemeteries, where the operator's own copy describes tombstone symbolism alongside reported ghost stories, though the operator does not name the specific cemetery on its public tour page. Guest reviews cited by the operator describe additional unnamed historic and haunted stops that vary by night, which the operator frames as part of the tour's appeal.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, describing what the tour covers rather than an independently verified account of any location's history.
