What a great way to get out and see Austin after dark! The historical insights are both compelling and entertaining, and Jamie is a engaging and knowledgeable conversationalist! I thoroughly enjoyed the tour—it's great to be fully immersive in the process of learning new things about the city and the fascinating people who've called it home. It isn't just a bunch of gratuitously spooky nonsense. I don't live in Austin myself, but the locals in the group appeared to be just as enthralled as I was. I'll definitely book again the next time I'm in town!
As my son loves murder mystery and ghost stories I thought this would be something fun to do while visiting Austin and boy did it exceed expectation! Jamie is the best tour guide, brings the history of the city to life and shows genuine interest in those attending and the in the stories he tells! I highly recommend this - and if you’re visiting it was a great way to see the city!
Lifelong Austinite here. One who for many years works downtown. Jamie‘s tour was not only spooky but it was a richly detailed history lesson – most of which was completely new to me. He was cheerful, welcoming, charismatic, and funny. He was also extremely prepared and knowledgeable about Austin‘s genuinely spooky history. Some of it was so wild that I even found myself fat checking it afterward. Lastly, I loved the walk itself. That’s my one warning: This is a well-considered walking towards downtown Austin. So make sure your party is up for that. Tons of fun and would go again — recommended for locals and tourists alike. You’ll be hungry afterwards so I recommend pairing this outing with dinner or drinks. Great times had by all
What an incredible experience! From start to finish, the ghost tour was captivating, entertaining, and just the right amount of spooky. Our guide was brilliant — and a great sense of humour that kept everyone engaged. The atmosphere was amazing too. It was a perfect mix of history, mystery, and a few chills! Whether you’re a believer in ghosts or just love a good story, this tour is a must-do. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be back again! 👻
I can't recommend Austin's Haunted Ghost and Murder Tour enough! From start to finish, this tour was an absolute thrill. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable about Austin's dark history but also had the perfect blend of humor and charisma to keep us engaged the entire time. The way they weaved stories of ghostly encounters with true crime history was captivating and gave me chills! The stops on the tour were fascinating, and I loved how we got to explore some of Austin's most haunted locations. The storytelling brought the past to life, and at times, it felt like we were walking through history itself! The eerie atmosphere, spine-tingling tales, and the occasional spooky moment made it such a unique experience. Whether you're a history buff, a fan of the paranormal, or just looking for something fun and different to do in Austin, you absolutely HAVE to take this tour. It’s a perfect mix of spooky and entertaining, and you'll walk away with stories to tell your friends for years. Five stars aren’t enough for this unforgettable experience!
