Austin Crime Tour

At 8 pm, we'll meet at the intersection of W. 6th Street & Bowie to begin a walking tour through the darkest episodes of Austin's history. Ready for a terrifying trip back in time?

We'll start the tour with a journey back to the year 1885, a time when the avenues and alleys of Austin were stalked by a fearsome serial killer. During the tour, you'll learn all the details of the police investigation of this so-called 'midnight killer.'

As we walk through Austin, we'll approach the former homes of several of the killer's victims, learning all about their stories and remembering their tragic end. But the big question is... did this criminal ever get caught? All will be revealed on the tour!

During the route, we'll also make a stop at the iconic Driskill Hotel, linked to many a story of murder and ghosts. While we go over the many mysteries of this building, you can even have a drink on your own, if you like.

The tour will end around 9:50 pm on Congress Avenue.
