Spøgelser i hjertet af Austin: Hoteller i nærheden af Downtown Ghost Walk
Beskrivelse
Denne tur, i modsætning til nogen anden, forbinder historier om førstepersons spøgelsesmøder, spøgelseslære og historiske indsigter for at bringe dig en rygsøjle-friskende udforskning af den historiske Downtown Austin. Vores spøgelser begynder på det ikoniske Driskill Hotel. Har Jesse Driskill efterladt mere end blot sin arv i denne bygning, da han døde i 1890? De, der overnatter i bilaget synes sikkert at tro det. Disse spøgelseshistorier er serveret med en side af historien. Vores rejse omfatter 8 hjemsøgte interessepunkter og kulminerer i Texas State Capital Building, hvor ondskabsfulde og måske hævngerige ånder spiller rædselsfulde spil og skræmmer alle, der vover at arbejde overnatningsskift.

Rejseplan
Ved vores første stop går vi ind i det berømte Driskill Hotel for at præsentere dig for nogle af Austins mest skræmmende ånder, der forfølger korridorerne og leger med gæsterne på dette historiske hotel.
Kort fortælling forfatter O. Henry boede i dette folk-Victorianske hjem med sin kone og datter fra 1893 til 1895, hvilket falder sammen med en smule problemer, han fik sig selv i.
Uden for teatret fra 1915 lærer vi lidt om Austins borgerrettighedshistorie og den hjerteskærende fortælling om en mand, der elskede film.
Vi vil lære om Austins mest legendariske karakter, hvis forestående tilstedeværelse forbliver i denne 1854 herregård.
Lær om historien og spøgelserne i Texas State Capitol-bygningen, hvor ånder holder tingene levende om natten.

Nicole was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! She was incredibly enthusiastic, engaging, and clearly very knowledgeable about all the spooky history and stories at each of the 8 stops along the tour. The entire experience was both interesting and informative, and it turned out to be such a fun way to spend the early part of the evening in Downtown Austin. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Austin — and even to locals like me who have lived here for years. I still learned so many new things and got to experience parts of the city in a completely different way. It’s also a great activity for both small and large groups, whether you’re with a few friends or a bigger crowd. Definitely worth it!
Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review, and from a local! I have passed along your sentiment to Nicole, and I wholeheartedly agree-- we are so lucky to have her on our team. She has a gift for bringing great vibes whether it's for two people or a big crowd. As a local, you might be interested in our other history tours like the Dead or Alive Wild West Austin Pub Crawl or the Story of Austin History Walk. All of our tours are packed full of lesser-known history you might enjoy, and we've got evening & after dark options all summer long. Thanks again for coming on a tour with Nitty Gritty City Tours and for this great review!
Nichole was amazing! A great storyteller

Nicole is very knowledgeable and has an energetic personality. I lost track of time due to the intrigue and excitement. I highly recommend this tour.
Thanks for the recommendation! Nicole does a great job with the ghost tour. Thanks for choosing Nitty Gritty City Tours!
Definitely worth the ticket. Very informative and a cool way to learn more about the city! Emily was so nice and knew a ton about Austin's history!
Thank you!!
Overall, I was pleased with our experience. The guide was informative, knew a lot about the subject, and had a nice flow for the walking portion. There was a good balance of story telling vs. factual information, so it was enjoyable regardless of whether or not you believe in ghosts. To me, ghost tours are history tours with the added benefit of ghosts! It was also nice to hear about the history of downtown Austin and specific hauntings that have occurred. My only feedback was that I wish there were "more". More stories and more stops! I also think the stories can be told in a way that is more interesting... with more build and structure to them. But, this comment is very nitpicky. The stories themselves are interesting enough. Revising the way these stories are told would go a long way for this tour (sentence to get you hooked, big picture what was happening in the city, getting into the storyline, dramatization, strong conclusions, etc.). They're a newer tour group, so they're likely working through a lot of this anyway!
Thank you so much for the helpful feedback about the stories on the tour - we are grateful you had a good experience overall and will be incorporating some of your ideas moving forward.
We very much enjoyed our walking tour with Emily, our guide. She was sweet and you can tell that she really has a passion for researching and verifying the true history of the stories she tells. I loved that she is a history nerd that wants to share her knowledge with others. Since the haunted tours are relatively new, Emily was still getting into the flow and rhythm of her story telling, but she does truly know her stuff. So I highly recommend that you give this a try!
