Our tour guide was amazing!! She was very knowledgeable about Austin being a local herself and was a fantastic story teller! I really appreciated her historic references and photos that went along with each story and stop. She even went out of our way to take my husband and I to go see one of the moon light towers which was just so generous! I would highly recommend this tour even if the ghost stories aren’t your thing. This historic context that our guide provided enriched our trip so much!
