My friend and I took my son (11) as a fun Halloween tour. For people bringing kids- Part of the tour route circles back and takes the group all the way down dirty 6th. Since we went around 9pm on a Saturday night, the street was somewhat alcohol-infused and not the best idea for kids. I would suggest circling back a different route and meeting-up with the group on Congress. Not too big of a deal. We all enjoyed the stories and Austin history. Our tour guide was awesome. I definitely recommend.
