GO! You will have a BLAST!!! - The ghost tour was SO fun and interesting! I loved how our guide, William, was very knowledgeable of the history and stories, was animated during his story telling, and even took the group inside the locations to see things first hand! I will definitely be back and will be requesting William! I recommend everyone does the same!

Fun tour - This was a fun experience. Our tour guide Audrey was very friendly and knowledgeable. We not only learned about the hauntings, but some of the history of Austin.

Austin Haunted Tour - Our guide was very informative and did a great job of storytelling. It was more story less haunt than I was expecting but overall fun way to learn about history of specific events in Austin while getting your steps in.

Audrey had personal... - Audrey had personal experience with the places she showed us on the tour. She had lots of energy and was always looking out for our safety.She was full of suggestions for great places to visit in the city and made an effort to get to know us all a bit.
After a delayed start, we headed to two different locations before returning back to our starting point. Unfortunately, the venue was quite busy so we only got to do a quick look at the elevator shaft before we headed out for a recap. Although the tour indicated it was 90 minutes, we were still done early even after the delay.

Good tour but only covered about one city block. - Fun ghost tour. Tyler was great but the tour itself didn’t cover a whole lot. We basically walked around one city block with 3 or 4 stops. I guess Austin just doesn’t have that many ghosts? Tyler did a great job covering the stories that were covered, but I’ve been on many ghost tours in many cities and typically you cover more area and hear more stories.

Underwhelmed. - Tour was too large with 30 members. Guide was attempting to show historical pictures on his cellphone. Only inside visits were at The Speakeasy lounge and an unescourted walkthru of the Driskill lobby. Neither were that interesting. Enjoyed walking around on my own more.
