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.





Votado pela Escolha do Crítico do Austin Chronicle 2022 como "Melhor Atividade da Vida Noturna". No ano de 1885, o primeiro assassino em série da América perseguiu as ruas e becos da jovem e emergente cidade de Austin. Mais aterrorizante do que qualquer história de fantasmas, esse monstro matou brutal e sistematicamente oito mulheres usando um machado. Por um ano civil, ele aterrorizou uma cidade e ficou conhecido como o “assassino da meia-noite”. Ele nunca foi capturado e sua identidade permanece um mistério ou não...? Este passeio é o mais longo de 1 hora e 45 minutos e cobre 2 milhas da histórica Austin, incluindo a West 6th Street, Guy Town, o Warehouse District e uma parada para uma bebida no icônico Driskill Hotel. O ritmo é tranquilo e, além de uma paragem para beber no Driskill, (bebidas não incluídas), há pequenas paragens ao longo do percurso. Junte-se a nós neste excepcional passeio a pé pelo crime verdadeiro, investigando os locais exatos do crime e as várias teorias que cercam o assassino da meia-noite. É uma turnê "matadora".
Nossos guias especializados explicarão em detalhes como o icônico Driskill Hotel se encaixa na história do "Aniquilador da Serva". Construído no mesmo ano dos assassinatos, 1885, você poderá visitar o saguão deste magnífico hotel e ver o impressionante retrato de seu criador, o coronel William "Jessie" Driskill. (Esta parada está sujeita às regras e horários de funcionamento do Driskill e está disponível na maioria das noites, mas não todas as noites. No entanto, todos os passeios verão de perto este belo hotel e conhecerão sua história.)
Nossos experientes contadores de histórias de crimes reais acompanharão seu grupo por partes do histórico distrito da 6ª rua no centro de Austin. Veja a 6th street ganhar vida enquanto você vê fotos antigas de como a rua era na época dos assassinatos em 1885.
A Speakeasy Tavern na 412 Congress Avenue é uma parada crucial para entender um dos possíveis suspeitos dos assassinatos da serva. Nossos guias especializados irão acompanhá-lo para dentro e explicar como esse local se entrelaça na tapeçaria desse verdadeiro mistério do crime. Enquanto estiver no Speakeasy, você tem a oportunidade de tomar uma bebida no bar e apreciar a história da taverna. (Bebidas não inclusas)

Very interesting history. Had no prior knowledge of this topic. Great way to see a very vibrant area of Austin as well. Wes was a great tour guide!
Hi, Sam! Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We love hearing that you discovered a piece of Austin history you hadn’t known before while also getting to experience one of the city’s most vibrant areas. We’re especially glad your guide made the tour informative, engaging, and memorable. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him! Best regards, Walking Tours of Austin
Very Unorganized with meet up points
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
Tyler was an awesome guide. He really brought the story of Austin in 1885 to life.

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!
