Great Communication - While we paid for but didn't attend the tour - the operator did reach out via text when we were late to ask. I really appreciated that attention to detail. We mistakenly held out to see the bats and alas, they didn't show.

Definitely worth it - Amazing tour. William was passionate and informative. His ability to remember dates and events and intertwine them with history was remarkable. Definitely worth setting 90 mins aside for an informative walk. Love the tie in to the Jack the Ripper tales. Thank you William for a great time.

Take a Walk, Listen to Good Stories - This was a neat way to see some of the historic buildings of Austin's downtown and get some walking in at the same time. Our guide, Tyler was a great storyteller and very knowledgeable about the city's history in general.

Horrible - I sent an email on your site asking to change the date. I never received a response. My trip starts in an hour and I am unable to attend due to family circumstances. I will never book with you again.
