Austin’s Haunted History Came Alive - 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!
