Austin Murder Walk
Descripción
Votado por Austin Chronicle 2022 Critic's Choice "Mejor actividad de vida nocturna". En el año 1885, el primer asesino en serie de Estados Unidos acechaba las calles y callejones de la joven y emergente ciudad de Austin. Más aterrador que cualquier historia de fantasmas, este monstruo mató brutal y sistemáticamente a ocho mujeres con un hacha. Durante un año calendario, aterrorizó a una ciudad y llegó a ser conocido como el "asesino de medianoche". Nunca fue capturado y su identidad sigue siendo un misterio o no...? Este recorrido es el más largo de 1 hora y 45 minutos y cubre 2 millas del histórico Austin, incluida la calle West 6th, Guy Town, el distrito de almacenes y una parada para tomar una copa en el icónico Driskill Hotel. El ritmo es pausado y, además de una parada para beber en el Driskill (bebidas no incluidas), hay breves descansos a lo largo del viaje. Únase a nosotros en este excepcional recorrido a pie por crímenes reales que investiga las ubicaciones exactas del crimen y las diversas teorías que rodean al asesino de medianoche. Es una gira "asesina".

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!!
