5.00A fascinating tour of Austin describing the legendary ax murders of the 1880s, visiting places like the Moonshine Tavern, the Firehouse Tavern/Speakeasy, & the Driskil Hotel where ghosts have been known to appear. The O Henry house & the Westin Rooftop bar were other interesting stops. The guide, David was very articulate & provided interesting insights into Austin’s history.

5.00We had the best time on the haunted pub crawl in Austin. Our guide David was incredibly knowledgeable, especially about the murders in Austin in the 1880s. He was very funny and a great storyteller. You could tell he really knew his history. We got to learn about places like the O Henry House, a speak easy which was originally a firehouse, and even went up to the top of the Westin for an amazing view. David was enthusiastic, engaging, and kept everyone interested the whole time. Highly recommend this if you want a unique, spooky way to experience Austin at night!
Excellent Haunted Pub Tour!

5.00Was a good combo, some walking, some cool locations, some history and some drinks !! Thought the meeting place could have been better as we were told to be there 15 min early but the guide came at 5 min early so we were wondering if we were in the right place for 10 minutes.

1.00The guide never showed up. Another polite person offered to give us a tour but he was working another job and was unable to in the moment - he said there was no management reps in Austin. We called, and they said they'd consider or "process our request" for a refund HA... Rediculous company
