Marche du meurtre d'Austin

Aperçu
Voted by the Austin Chronicle 2022 Critic's Choice "Best Nightlife Activity." In the year 1885 America’s first serial killer stalked the streets and alleyways of the young, emerging city of Austin. More terrifying than any ghost story, this monster brutally and systematically hacked eight women to death using an ax. For one calendar year, he terrified a city and came to be known as the “midnight assassin”. He was never captured and his identity remains a mystery or does it...?

This tour is our longest at 1 hour 45 minutes and covers 2 miles of historic Austin including West 6th street, Guy Town, the Warehouse District and a drink stop at the iconic Driskill Hotel. The pace is leisurely and, in addition to a drink stop at the Driskill, (drinks not included), there are short rests along the journey.

Join us on this exceptional true crime walking tour investigating exact crime locations and the various theories surrounding the midnight assassin. It’s a “killer” tour.

Tyler was a wonderful storyteller! You could really feel what it was like at the time. We had a great time and can’t wait to get home and learn more about it.

Tyler was amazing at weaving in tales of pretty horrific events in a compelling story. He adapted to the changing conditions (very windy, lots of party revelers over the St. Patrick’s Day weekend, etc.) to provide a very enjoyable and entertaining time. His delivery was polished and he knew the subject matter very well. Great tour guide and tour.
