Hantises au coeur d'Austin: Downtown Ghost Walk
Description
Cette visite, pas comme les autres, marie des histoires de rencontres de fantômes à la première personne, de traditions fantômes et d'aperçus historiques pour vous apporter une exploration glaçante du centre-ville historique d'Austin. Nos hantises commencent à l'emblématique Driskill Hotel. Jesse Driskill a-t-il laissé plus que son héritage dans ce bâtiment lorsqu'il est décédé en 1890? Ceux qui passent la nuit dans l'annexe semblent bien le croire. Ces histoires hantées sont servies avec un côté de l'histoire. Notre voyage comprend 8 points d'intérêt hantés et culmine au Texas State Capital Building , où des esprits espiègles et peut-être vengeurs jouent à des jeux étranges et terrifient quiconque ose travailler de nuit.

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

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!
