The guide was great. We came as part of my daughter’s birthday celebration. She had a great time. Thanks
Blah!

He was informative but you as a company it would be more entertaining if your guides dressed the part instead of a young kid dressed in shorts, tank top, black shoes with white socks and a backpack! Would have been a more enjoyable experience if he was dressed spooky 👻 or something like that!
Response from Host , May 2022
You’re right, our guides do not dress like “spooky” ghosts for the tour.
That’s intentional. Instead, we set an authentic Austin vibe. Our guides are looking great in official WTA gear and are fun loving professional storytellers focusing on great storytelling.
That said, sorry you didn’t enjoy the tour. We’ll take your comments into consideration.
great stories of ghosts...

This is an excellent tour for people that love history and ghosts. It definitely gave me chills! Personally I did not think the walking was that bad, or maybe the tour guide was just a great story teller! Highly recommend!
Response from Host , May 2022
Thank you so much for this great review! Time flies when you’re having fun :-) we hope you enjoyed stepping inside the haunted Speakeasy Tavern and of course the beautiful Driskill hotel! Please come back and see you soon! If you liked the ghost walk you might love Murder walk Austin :-) best, Jim Miles, owner Touratx

We are visiting Austin for the first time and really enjoyed the ghost tour. Jared ‘s storytelling really brought the history and ghost stories to life. We throughly enjoyed the tour. My favorite part was hearing about the Driskill Hotel while sitting inside the lobby.
Response from Host , May 2022
Thanks so much for joining us on Ghost Walk Austin! I agree with you, nothing like hearing a great ghost story in the Driskill Hotel :-)
Jarrod does an amazing job and we’re glad you enjoyed the experience. Please come back and see us in the future!

Jarrod was an awesome storyteller, and was able to connect with a big group walking in busy areas. The extra history info was a bonus! Highly recommend for a fun night getting to know Austin!
Very interesting!

Our tour guide was great, really keeping our interest with his storytelling and interesting facts. It was a great way to see part of Austin while visiting from out of town.

Jared was an awesome tour guide and we had a great time! Loved the history, additional context, and ghost stories! Would absolutely recommend!
Response from Host , May 2022
Thank you so much for your review Stephanie! We agree, Jared is an awesome storyteller and can really lay it down when it comes to a ghost story! Ghost Rock is a fun opportunity to see Austin at night. We hope you enjoy your walk through the “haunted” Driskill Hotel! Come back and see you soon

My husband and I love everything spooky and true crime related. I always go on tours and adventures with him but this time I am by myself. William was such a great storyteller! He was very knowledgeable and made everything interesting and spooky! I didn’t sleep well last night but that’s part of the fun! Lol
Nice job, William ☺️
Skeptic to believer! Family fun

My husband and I booked this tour as a suprise for our 16 y/o child,who is obsessed with the strange and unusual and all things macob. Jarrod was our guide and he was amazing. His enthusiasm for the Austin history and ghost stories is infectious. I was a bit of a skeptic,but after hearing Jarrod's stories and seeing pictures,I am more of a believer. Jarrod took time to chat with everyone and get to know them before the tour started and made sure to include people in the stories. It made the walk feel like we were walking with a friend just catching up. A truly enjoyable experience. Will definitely do this again on future family trips. Thanks Jarrod for an amazing history lesson. ❤️

We traveled to Austin for our teens' spring break and it was our first time there. Our kids are into ghost stories and crime shows, so we thought this would be a great experience for them since they're too young for the night scene. We had a great time walking around with Jarrod who is very knowledgeable and friendly. He was great and the tour was a mix of ghost stories and history about the city. Would recommend this for anyone traveling to the city.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Thanks so much for your review! We agree, Jarrod is an awesome storyteller who loves both the ghost stories and history of Austin! Hope you get a chance to come back and see us soon! Also, it’s so great that your teens could be with us. Hope the rest of your trip was awesome!

Our guide was good but just wasn’t that fantastic of an experience. Lost of walking for 5 stories. .
Haunted Austin tour was a hit!

, Apr 2022
We had such a great time! Our tour guide Jared (Jarrett? There were drinks involved pre walk and it was a noisy Saturday night on Commerce) is an amazing storyteller and made sure that everyone in the very large group was included and stayed engaged throughout the trip. As it was a Saturday night we didn’t get to do some of the interior tours, but it just gives us reason to come back again!
Great time!

We loved the history and haunted stories! Daelen was a joy! We enjoyed the tour very much! Thank you!

Daelen was a super guide! His energy was perfect! He was knowledgeable, animated and an excellent storyteller with clear diction and volume! One of the best parts was actually exploring the first two floors of the Driskill Hotel! Thanks for a spooky night Daelen!
