Austin Murder Walk
Beskrivning
Framröstad av Austin Chronicle 2022 Critic's Choice "Bästa nattlivsaktivitet." År 1885 förföljde USA:s första seriemördare gatorna och gränderna i den unga, framväxande staden Austin. Mer skrämmande än någon spökhistoria, detta monster hackade brutalt och systematiskt åtta kvinnor till döds med hjälp av en yxa. Under ett kalenderår skrämde han en stad och blev känd som "midnattsmördaren". Han tillfångatogs aldrig och hans identitet förblir ett mysterium eller gör det...? Denna turné är vår längsta på 1 timme och 45 minuter och täcker 2 miles av historiska Austin inklusive West 6th street, Guy Town, Warehouse District och ett drinkstopp på det ikoniska Driskill Hotel. Tempot är lugnt och förutom ett drinkstopp vid Driskill, (dryck ingår ej), finns det korta vilor längs resan. Följ med oss på denna exceptionella vandringstur med sanna brott som undersöker exakta brottsplatser och de olika teorierna kring midnattsmördaren. Det är en "killer" turné.

Resplan
Våra expertguider kommer att förklara i detalj hur det ikoniska Driskill Hotel passar in i historien om "Servant Girl Annihilator". Byggt under själva morden, 1885, kommer du att kunna besöka lobbyn på detta magnifika hotell och se det imponerande porträttet av dess skapare, överste William "Jessie" Driskill. (Detta stopp är föremål för Driskills regler och öppettider och är tillgängligt de flesta, men inte varje kväll. Alla turer kommer dock att se detta vackra hotell på nära håll och lära sig om dess historia.)
Våra expertberättare av sanna brott kommer att eskortera din grupp genom delar av det historiska distriktet 6th street i centrala Austin. Se 6th street komma till liv när du tittar på gamla fotografier av hur gatan såg ut under tiden för morden 1885.
Speakeasy Tavern på 412 Congress Avenue är ett avgörande stopp för att förstå en av de möjliga misstänkta för morden på tjänsteflickan. Våra expertguider kommer att eskortera dig in och förklara hur den här platsen vävs in i väven av detta sanna brottsmysterium. När du är på Speakeasy har du möjlighet att ta en drink från baren och njuta av tavernans historia. (Drycker ingår ej)

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.
Thank you so much for the great review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed learning about Austin’s history and the storytelling surrounding the Midnight Assassin—it’s one of our favorite stories to share. We’re so glad you had an excellent experience and hope to see you again on another tour soon! Best regards, Walking Tours of Austin
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.

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.
So glad you enjoyed your tour, Jan! Best regards, Walking Tours of Austin

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!!
