I wasn't sure how creepy a haunted walking tour would be in the middle of a loud, crowded city but our guide, William, really made it interesting with his stories. We learned lots about the city's history and he was able to answer all of our question. We were visiting Austin but took the tour with a local and we all enjoyed it. We would recommend. Thank you William!

Great! Interesting stories! I was by myself and decided to do something out of the ordinary. Glad I went!

Thanks so much for exploring Austin’s haunted history with us! We love to show off our city at night, there’s nothing like some great ghost stories under Austin‘s amazing skyline. Hope you enjoyed the interior of the Speakeasy Tavern, and of course the beautiful, and haunted,
Driskill hotel:)
Best regards, Walking Tours of Austin

It's great to see lesser-known and unique parts of Austin! Will knows his ghosts, which is not a 'jump scare' experience; it is also suitable for older kids and teens.
Response from Host, Apr 2024

It was overbooked, due to the SxSW we did not get to see everything.
Will was very knowledgeable but a bit long winded. Maybe because he was trying to fill the void. Also, at the Driskill, he did his presentation next to the music & we couldn’t hear him.
Overall, we enjoyed it.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you for your review, Nancy. SXSW is such a busy time in Austin for sure. Glad you were able to enjoy your tour even with the larger crowds. Come back and see us again.
Warm Regards,
