Walking Ghost Tour Through Austin's Haunted Streets

5.00We met our guide on the front steps of the Omni Hotel in downtown Austin. Michael was very knowledgeable about the haunted buildings and parks in the area. He answered all our questions and took time explaining the location and the history of ghost sightings. Our tour lasted about 90 minutes. I recommend taking this ghost tour if you are visiting Austin.
Hands down, worst ghost tour ever!!

1.00Terrible. We did not go to three of the paid-for/advertised stops, and did not end at the starting place (again, as advertised). Our "guide" could not stay on topic to save his life - we constantly had to try to get him back to the actual story. He spent 25 minutes at the beginning just going over the "rules". During the tour, he told us he was not a capitalist, spoke against the president, made inappropriate and uncomfortable racial remarks, encouraged the use of drugs, and said our country would no longer be a democracy in a couple of weeks. He barely spoke above a whisper in a loud downtown setting, and when we asked him to speak up, that's when he would make the inappropriate comments. I've been on many ghost tours, and I hesitate to even include this in that category. I would give zero stars if possible. Worst $31 I've ever spent!
Overall poor experience

2.00I’ve been on several ghost tours before and typically it’s an entertaining experience and great stories. However, I believe the company should hire people who can project their voice. During the tour I couldn’t hear the guide (who’s very soft spoken). Considering that we are downtown Austin at night with traffic and music it’s a very loud environment. At minimum maybe hire someone who can speak louder or use a speaker!

5.00The tour was great! Our tour guide Vincent was very knowledgeable about the area and spooky happenings of Austin. We had a great time, also really appreciated being able to bring our dog along for the tour.
Do not book this

1.00Unfortunately we would not recommend. You are not able to enter any of the stops. Our tour guide began the tour by telling us there really are no ghost stories but some history on this tour. The tour guide was a terrible storyteller. For the one story we could actually fact check, the guide had majority of the facts wrong when we did fact check it. It could have been a really fun tour, but the guide needed more training and needed to remember the stories. The thought that went through our heads the whole time we were there was ‘did we really pay for this?’ We left halfway through because it was so painful.
Awful tour guide experience

1.00Guide was extremely hard to hear and didn’t attempt to speak louder even after being asked. Didn’t prompt for questions or engage with us between stops. At some points, he was walking so fast we were basically speed walking. We had to yell at him to slow down. The tour was much shorter than advertised, but we were so glad it was over.
Good orientation of Supernatural Austin

3.00It was nice to get a bit of history on each of the locations we visited. The route took us around some of the more historic buildings in town. The stories weren’t in-depth, but you can’t expect much from an hour-long tour. I got what I paid for.
Very expensive price for...

5.00The team made our first ghost tour a real treat. It was cool hearing about all the gruesome stuff that's happened in the olden days- if that's your type of entertainment 🤣
Fun activities for locals and tourists!
