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.

Beschreibung
Vom Austin Chronicle 2022 Critic's Choice zur „Besten Aktivität im Nachtleben“ gewählt. Im Jahr 1885 schlich Amerikas erster Serienmörder durch die Straßen und Gassen der jungen, aufstrebenden Stadt Austin. Erschreckender als jede Geistergeschichte: Dieses Monster hackte brutal und systematisch acht Frauen mit einer Axt zu Tode. Ein Kalenderjahr lang versetzte er eine Stadt in Angst und Schrecken und wurde als „Mitternachtsmörder“ bekannt. Er wurde nie gefangen genommen und seine Identität bleibt ein Rätsel, oder doch...? Diese Tour ist mit 1 Stunde und 45 Minuten unsere längste und umfasst 2 Meilen des historischen Austin, einschließlich West 6th Street, Guy Town, dem Warehouse District und einem Getränkestopp im legendären Driskill Hotel. Das Tempo ist gemächlich und zusätzlich zu einem Getränkestopp am Driskill (Getränke nicht inbegriffen) gibt es unterwegs kurze Pausen. Begleiten Sie uns auf diesem außergewöhnlichen Rundgang über wahre Kriminalität und erkunden Sie die genauen Tatorte und die verschiedenen Theorien rund um den Mitternachtsmörder. Es ist eine „Killer“-Tour.

Reiseverlauf
The Driskill
Unsere fachkundigen Guides erklären ausführlich, wie das legendäre Driskill Hotel in die Geschichte des „Servant Girl Annihilator“ passt. Erbaut im Jahr der Morde, 1885, können Sie die Lobby dieses prächtigen Hotels besichtigen und das beeindruckende Porträt seines Schöpfers, Colonel William „Jessie“ Driskill, betrachten. (Diese Haltestelle unterliegt den Regeln und Betriebszeiten von Driskill und ist meistens, aber nicht jede Nacht verfügbar. Alle Touren werden jedoch dieses schöne Hotel aus der Nähe sehen und etwas über seine Geschichte erfahren.)
6th Street
Unsere erfahrenen Erzähler wahrer Kriminalgeschichten werden Ihre Gruppe durch Teile des historischen Viertels 6th Street in der Innenstadt von Austin begleiten. Beobachten Sie, wie die 6th Street zum Leben erwacht, wenn Sie sich alte Fotografien ansehen, die zeigen, wie die Straße während der Morde im Jahr 1885 aussah.
Speakeasy
Die Speakeasy Tavern in der 412 Congress Avenue ist ein entscheidender Halt, um einen der möglichen Verdächtigen der Dienstmädchenmorde zu verstehen. Unsere erfahrenen Guides begleiten Sie hinein und erklären, wie sich dieser Ort in den Wandteppich dieses wahren Kriminalgeheimnisses einfügt. Während Sie im Speakeasy sind, haben Sie die Möglichkeit, sich einen Drink an der Bar zu holen und die Geschichte der Taverne zu genießen. (Getränke nicht inbegriffen)

Never again
Very Unorganized with meet up points
Antwort des Anbieters
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!
