Disappointed. Paid $75 for three people. Tour guide sounded bored the entire time and rarely mentioned any hauntings. Also, he wouldn't wait for us all to cross the cross walk so we ended up getting stuck behind. We ended up leaving. Don't waste your money and time.

Not exactly sure what went wrong here...? As the vast majority of our reviews indicate, this definitely is NOT a typical tour experience. At Walking Tours of Austin we strive for an excellent tour every time. Clearly we missed the mark here. Thx for the feedback, Best, JM

This tour was an amazing ride! Morgan was the guide and he was the greatest. He injected a lot of humor into the stories while still being respectful and passionate about what he was doing, and I appreciated his honesty in telling the stories he did. I was a bit nervous about the group size, but Morgan (and I assume his boss too) seem to have taken large groups into consideration. The stories and locations themselves were quite memorable, especially the Driskill Hotel (Samantha was so creepy!) and the Midnight Assassin section which has an amazing plot twist at the end. I have never taken a ghost tour before this but if I can find anything like Morgan's tour in the future, I will definitely take it. This is a must do if you want a darker side of Austin's story!

Morgan is definitely an amazing tour guide who loves Austin’s “weird” history and loves the art of storytelling:) Your review is greatly appreciated! Please come back and see us soon!!
