Definitely worth the ticket. Very informative and a cool way to learn more about the city! Emily was so nice and knew a ton about Austin's history!

We very much enjoyed our walking tour with Emily, our guide. She was sweet and you can tell that she really has a passion for researching and verifying the true history of the stories she tells. I loved that she is a history nerd that wants to share her knowledge with others. Since the haunted tours are relatively new, Emily was still getting into the flow and rhythm of her story telling, but she does truly know her stuff. So I highly recommend that you give this a try!
