A Spooky Walk through Downtown Austin - We did a last-minute booking for this tour while visiting Austin. Our guide was Emily, and we were the only couple on the tour. We started at the Texas Capitol building and wound our way through downtown Austin to see many of the old buildings and hear their ghost stories and tall tales. Emily was awesome, and the tour was a lot of fun. I highly recommend this experience!

Just a long walk… - Our tour guide was very nice, but she walked around with a fan because it was so hot out. In the meantime, we never walked into any buildings to see the history. A stop to actually see inside the building would have been nice, plus it would’ve been a chance to cool off from the scorching heat. I really feel that this tour was a waste of money because we never actually went in and observed the actual places she was talking about. I would not recommend this tour.

No show guides - The tour guide never showed up. Myself and seven other people were at the meeting location and no one showed up. I ended up calling the Customer service line to be told that the guide would not be coming and that I have to reach out to Viator to get a refund. This is frustrating since I paid for round-trip Ubers to get to the meeting location and back to my hotel and I gave up other plans to stand in the middle of the street waiting for a guide that never showed up.
