10/10 - So much fun! Our tour guide John did an amazing job delivering the stories in a personable manner, never felt scripted or rehearsed. It was informative, comedic, and left me wanting to book another tour next weekend, highly recommend if you’re new to the area or visiting.

Great tour for family - We had Tiffany as a tour guide & she was great. Ended up just being our family of 4 (kids age 9 & 12) on a beautiful spring night. She was engaging & kept the kids interest. Mix of historical info & ghost stories that the kids loved. Would recommend.

Perfect blend of ghosts and history - As a paranormal author and certified paranormal investigator, I've done ghost tours all over the country, and this was probably the best one I've ever been on. Tiffany was an awesome tour guide who has mastered the ideal blend of history and storytelling. There were enough ghost stories to keep my kids (ages 10 and 11) delightfully, spookily engaged, and enough history to satisfy my interest. It was a frigid night and she was cognizant of our comfort, which I appreciated. I would highly recommend this tour and I think Tiffany needs to write her own book of ghost stories!

Learned a lot from an engaging tour guide - Our tour guide was really wonderful. She filled up the whole hour and a half with engaging historical and paranormal stories at their locations. We were pleased to stop at several locations along the way (much more than advertised) and she had many pictures to show exactly what she was talking about. Glad we got to learn more about Austin and some of the buildings downtown.
