Talented - Jamie is an excellent storyteller. We've been on many ghost/murder mystery tours in many cities, including Atlanta, Nashville, Boston, St. Augustine, Charleston, to name a few. Most of the tour guides have been great. Jamie stands out. He's personable, clever, articulate and a wonderful storyteller.

Fun time 😊 - Definitely a must do to learn some spooky tales of Austin. Jaime is amazing as a guide and really takes the time to get to know each person touring with the group. The walk is not bad on a cool fall evening. Great experience!
