This review makes me smile because I am definitely a true crime fanatic! Murder walk Austin is quickly becoming one of our most popular tour because we discuss the fascinating, horrific, and little known fact that Austin claims America’s first serial killer, 1885. Thanks for coming out and experiencing it with me. I hope you can come back for the ghost tour sometime :-) best, Jim Miles
Great company, will book with them again!

We didn’t end up going due to the weather, but I’m giving it five stars because the tour guide called me to see if we were coming or not before they started the tour. I thought that was nice!

It was an amazing experience! So much interesting facts and we had the amazing tour guide named Tyler. He was absolutely amazing with this experience. I would definitely go back!
Response from Host , Nov 2021
Thanks so much for your review! We agree, Tyler is a true crime aficionado! The story of what happened in Austin in 1885 it’s almost too bizarre to be believed, only, it’s true. We are so glad you shared this experience with us. Thank you so much for taking the time to review the tour!

The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the murders, and answered all our questions. Even though I had already read some about the events since we had a family connection, I still learned a lot! It was a lot of walking but he did a great job stopping every so often to give rest breaks and more details about the murders.
