Entertaining guide! - Jamie was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun even in the heat! My only suggestion would be to have more stops where actual sightings have occurred

Highly recommend! - This was a great tour and I highly recommend! Admittedly I was having some second thoughts about a walking tour in August because it was super hot. But I'm so glad we did it. Our guide Jamie not only gave the facts, he was a fantastic storyteller and included lots of historical context and fun facts about the city. He kept things moving along and showed us some really cool places we hadn't even heard of when we researched things to do in Austin. If you're into true crime or hauntings, you'll really love this tour and you'll get some great Austin history too.

Fun intro tour to Austin's past (and present) - Jamie was very knowledgeable of the history here and you could hear it through his stories with how passionate it was for him. Great job! Nice intro tour if you're not familiar with ANY Austin haunting and murders! He'll all your questions though.
