We had so much fun during the evening ghost tour. Our guide, Will. Was great! We learned so much history & had a wonderful time. Highly suggest for anyone interested in a little Austin history & ghosts.

We had a great tour tonight with William. Very fun and nothing too scary - could be good for a mix of ages. We learned a bit about Austin’s history, some formidable characters from the past, and some theories about the city’s darker secrets. We did the tour as a fun way to get oriented to the Austin a little bit and it was spot on for that. Some good recommendations for restaurants and bars as a bonus!

The 10/2 Haunted Austin Walking History tour at 8pm was great! My best friend and I had a blast. I’ve been a frequent visitor over the years and have become pretty familiar with Austin, but this tour opened my eyes to a whole other side of Austin. The history is fascinating and our guide was detailed. The pricing was also decent. I would recommend this to anyone 21+ to enjoy the Speakeasy side, especially during October

Very fun experience. Also very informative. Our guide was very humorous and very knowledgeable. This walking tour is a 50/50 mix of Austin history and ghost stories. Your stops are both outside and; inside, so you get plenty of opportunities to either cool down or warm up. Highly recommend this tour if this is your first time in Austin (or if you are an Austin native).

Our host for the haunted tour was Will and he was great! He brought a tablet to showcase various historical photos (to help showcase what we were seeing in today’s age vs how it used to be) and spooky photos. Very entertaining. The tour didn’t have too much walking, and had a good amount of history. All of the locations were very interesting! Definitely would recommend this tour.
