Austin Murder Walk
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
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.)
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 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)

The tour was excellent, we learned a lot of things on the history of Austin as well as enjoyed a good story telling about the midnight assassin.
Our tour guide Will was amazingly knowledgeable and interesting. But be ready to walk and keep up! We had a group who showed up late, could not keep up, and would not read the room that they were repeatedly delaying the entire experience. A super interesting (and appropriately timed) two hour tour took three hours because of them. Our tour guide accommodated to the detriment of all other participants. If you cannot show up on time and walk 2 miles at a reasonable pace in the Austin heat, choose another tour so as to not negatively impact those who can.
Jude was fantastic. It was super interesting and he was a great story teller
Great trip. Captain Max was friendly, easygoing and knowledgeable. Great weather, pretty sunset but also saw a lot of birds as well as the gorgeous homes around the lake. Would definitely book again.
Tyler was amazing! He had us trying to figure out who the murderer was the entire time.
Tyler did a great job and I really enjoyed learning about Austin history through the context of this murder spree in 1885.
Jude was an excellent tour guide! I enjoyed listening to his English accent as he led us through the eight murders that took place in Austin in the late 1800s. He took us through the chronology of events, describing the scene and events in detail, yet without being unnecessarily graphic. He explained several different theories related to the killer’s identity and why he was never caught. Even though the weather wasn’t cooperative or pleasant, Jude made the evening both interesting and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Tyler was so well-versed in the history of what happened here in Austin in the 1880s and he was very animated in his presentation. We got hit with pop up thunderstorms and a little wet but Tyler looked for places to stay as dry as possible and made the tour work even in the rain.

Will did an excellent job in telling ghost stories. My son and I had signed up for the Murder Tour which got cancelled. We were offered the ghost tour...I don't believe in ghosts, but Will made th tour fun and interesting! It was filled with history and interesting facts. He also took the time afterwards with no prompting from us and have us information from the murder tour! This was extremely interesting. Thank you, Will! You did an awesome job!!
