5.00Great tour either way Jude! It was an easy walking tour for our family (senior, adult, and kids). We go to see and hear about Austin history and some of the interesting ghost stories and tragedies without bringing too much for kids. Jude was a great guide, very knowledgeable and personable. Definitely recommend!

5.00Will is a very good story teller. He’s very animated and draws you in with the tragedy that happens at these hotels. This is the first time I have done a haunted tour and it won’t be my last.
