Austin Murder Walk

A fantastic tour! I live in Austin and I never even knew about the horrible murders of 1885. It is an evening of true crime that you will not forget by the amazing host Jim Miles. You'll also learn about other people who have taken the tour that have roots in true crime -- your own connection could become a future part of the tour! The tour does start off with a bang (the telling of a grisly slaying), so prepare yourself. Walk the downtown streets of Austin and learn a part of history of this former cow town with dirt roads that many Austinites do not even know! (Also, I promise Shoal Creek will never be the same for you afterward!)

Had a wonderful time,the guide was super friendly and he even spiced it up with telling a few ghost stories! Highly recommend, definitely going to book a ghost tour next!

Jim is a great storyteller and shares the history of America's first known serial murders in a way that fascinates and yet is still respectful. Nice easy walk.

The guide (who owns the company) was a ton of fun. He is very knowledgable about Austin and the history of the murders, he draws you in with his stories, and he leaves you thinking for days! A great family experience (for teens and up).

I learned so much about a topic that i knew very little about. Jim's conclusions are very intetesting and very believable. Great tour

Bonding with like minded individuals. Following the path late night of a serial killer. I would definitely recommend.

Fantastic tour. Our tour guide was very entertaining and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.

Learning about Moon Towers and the origins of London’s most famous serial killer! Excellent host with pics from the era!

The guide was engaging and knowledgeable. Would have been helpful to make sure the whole group was together before speaking and to stop at places without loud music. Maybe walk a little further down and then talk and point out the place. Overall though the info was good and we really enjoyed his presentation.

Best tour we took while in Austin! The owner/tour guide has you engaged immediately with his knowledge of the murders, and his passion for the subject. He not only covered the facts, but discussed all the different theories surrounding the murders. I won't go into detail so not to give anything away. I would not hesitate to take another tour with this company. Make sure you bring comfortable walking shoes. Tour lasted a little over two hours.
