September tour
It involves a couple miles of walking. Mostly flat but some people struggled with the hills and the heat. Will was a great tour guide who really seemed to enjoy the history and telling the story of the serial killer.

Beskrivelse
Kåret af Austin Chronicle 2022 Critic's Choice "Bedste nattelivsaktivitet." I år 1885 forfulgte USAs første seriemorder gaderne og stræderne i den unge, nye by Austin. Mere skræmmende end nogen spøgelseshistorie hackede dette monster brutalt og systematisk otte kvinder ihjel ved hjælp af en økse. I et kalenderår skræmte han en by og blev kendt som "midnatsmorderen". Han blev aldrig fanget, og hans identitet forbliver et mysterium eller gør det...? Denne tur er vores længste på 1 time og 45 minutter og dækker 2 miles af historiske Austin inklusive West 6th street, Guy Town, Warehouse District og et drinkstop på det ikoniske Driskill Hotel. Tempoet er roligt, og udover et drinkstop ved Driskill, (drikkevarer ikke inkluderet), er der korte hvil undervejs. Tag med os på denne usædvanlige vandretur med sand kriminalitet, hvor du undersøger nøjagtige kriminalitetssteder og de forskellige teorier omkring midnatsmorderen. Det er en "killer" tour.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
The Driskill
Vores ekspertguider vil forklare i detaljer, hvordan det ikoniske Driskill Hotel passer ind i historien om "Servant Girl Annihilator". Bygget i selve mordåret, 1885, vil du være i stand til at besøge lobbyen på dette storslåede hotel og se det imponerende portræt af dets skaber, oberst William "Jessie" Driskill. (Dette stop er underlagt Driskills regler og åbningstider og er tilgængeligt de fleste, men ikke hver nat. Alle ture vil dog se dette smukke hotel tæt på og lære om dets historie.)
6th Street
Vores eksperter i ægte krimi-fortællere vil eskortere din gruppe gennem dele af det historiske 6th street-distrikt i downtown Austin. Se 6th street komme til live, mens du ser gamle fotografier af, hvordan gaden så ud under mordene i 1885.
Speakeasy
Speakeasy Tavern på 412 Congress Avenue er et afgørende stop for at forstå en af de mulige mistænkte for tjenestepigemordene. Vores ekspertguider vil eskortere dig indenfor og forklare, hvordan dette sted væver sig ind i tapetet af dette sande krimi-mysterium. Mens du er på Speakeasy, har du mulighed for at snuppe en drink fra baren og nyde tavernens historie. (Drikkevarer er ikke inkluderet)

Very interesting history. Had no prior knowledge of this topic. Great way to see a very vibrant area of Austin as well. Wes was a great tour guide!

Never again
Very Unorganized with meet up points
Operatørens svar
We’re sorry you missed your tour. Your guide and the other guests were at the designated departure point and waited for you before beginning the tour. Unfortunately, we couldn’t continue holding the entire group and delay the experience for the guests who had arrived at the correct location. Once the tour departed, your guide went the extra mile and sent you a location pin so you could catch up with the group, and then waited for you again. We’re sorry there was confusion regarding the meeting point. We always want every guest to make their tour, which is why your guide made multiple efforts to help you join the group. Best regards, Walking Tours of Austin

Interesting and Fun!
This was such an interesting experience! Will, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Austin and the murders that took place in the 1880s. The walk was long but not bad at all. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes!

Do it
It was a fun, unique experience, and we learned a lot of Austin history and fun facts about Texas while walking to the sites of these horrible murders. It's not quite as morbid as it sounds, but it's not for the young or the sensitive because the crimes were really terrible. Our guide was Will, and he was great!
