Jennifer was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Able to answer questions. She interacted perfectly with my 11 and 12 year olds. This was a great way to explore downtown Austin and learn a little of its history. So much fun, we greatly enjoyed the tour! Thank you Jennifer!

Tour felt very rushed and not as engaging as most ghost tours I have been to. I go on a ghost tour in every city I visit so I have some experience by now. I recommend other ghost tours.

Tour guide sprinted through most of tour. Seemed more intent on getting to the end than on the tour itself. My wife and I got separated from group more than once, she noticed this but just keep going. Only took us a minute or two to catch up but she was already talking about the next stop.
