This was mine and my wife’s first trip to Austin! We booked a tour and we were not disappointed! Maverick is a great tour guide! He made this tour awesome! Totally recommend to anyone in to ghost tours!

I take ghost tours everywhere I go so Ive seen the spectrum from super lame to way too realistic. This tour hit the sweet spot right in the middle, thanks in no small part to our guide Monicas clear enthusiasm for and interest in the subject matter. Shes been leading ghost tours for 17 years, so this is no side gig. Monica told the stories of several haunted locations, noting which were based on legend and which were culled from Austin Ghost Tours primary source research. She even busted out photos and audio recovered from her own tours and investigations at historic sights. That kind of thing is right up my alley. Big thanks to Monica for bringing us into her world and sharing some of the unseen activity happening all around historic downtown Austin.

I’m only leaving this review so others don’t waste their time or money. While I do appreciate the folks putting on these tours, I unfortunately was Highly disappointed. First off, we are not able to actually explore any of the “Haunted” locations. Only stand outside in the humid Austin heat and listen to long drawn out stories which became extremely boring. I was so looking forward to this experience and so excited to just be let down. I understand covid playing a huge part in this but I wish I’d known ahead of time that it was basically just a history lesson. No actual supernatural or paranormal activity going on. I say this cause I do believe most people think they’re going to experience SOMETHING on a Ghost tour. If you’d like a tiring walk up and down the streets of downtown Austin and a History lesson then fine, this might be for you. If you want to have fun and hunt for ghosts while standing in the very buildings that they dwell in, this ain’t it.

Me and my mom and dad went here the tour guide was super nice and super funny and friendly I love ghost hunting If you wanna go somewhere spooky then I would definitely recommend to go here and definitely take some pictures definitely caught something!

My 3 teens, bf and I took a tour downtown with Monica and they couldn’t stop talking about it the rest of the night! They loved the history, her passion for truth, and the experience we received! So much fun!

With all of the entertainment options available, it is hard to know where to spend your time. This tour is the REAL DEAL. Our guide was informative, insightful, full of life, and was without scruples. Story telling: check. Production value: check. Glow sticks: check Ghosts: double check. I would recommend this to anyone who loves the undead, and hates the living.Also, Ashley Creech is #fakenews.

We ghosted the ghost tour. I’ve always enjoyed a good ghost story and thought they were very interesting...I guess I was wrong. We did the 8:30 pm tour on November 15 and our group of 12 collectively decided it was better to lose our $300 investment and leave after the first stop than to continue on. No comparison to some of the very good ghost tours in Charleston, New Orleans, and Savannah. Saying there is a ghost named Fred is not a ghost story-give the guy a narrative! Other explanations for people falling down stairs or drinks spilling at a bar: alcohol; people seeing a ghost that looks like a statue? Also probably alcohol. A few interesting historical facts but lacking in story telling.@seanmcleod must’ve been another Sean, on the same tour, who we shared an Uber with when we ghosted the tour. What are the chances?

Morgan was just awesome! He was there on time and we had a big group (28 people) which he amazingly had a great handle on! My husband and I did this tour as a way to know more about Austin but make it fun and get some sort of exercise in too. The tour was fun as much as it was informative. It wasnt scary so I would agree this is very family friendly though some stories gave me goosebumps LOL. The tour did last what they said it would which was about 90 mins. One thing to mention about Morgan, me being a little deaf, I really enjoyed his tone. At some points I was in the back of the group and I could hear him just fine even with the noises from passing cars/rowdy people. I really appreciated that!

Pretty poor experience all around. Guide was a very weak storyteller and had a hard time keeping the groups attention.

I could see how this tour could be interesting, but the tour guide was not a good story teller.

As a native I learned more history from maverick as I have learned my entire life here. Awesome evening!

Monica is a fantastic story teller and ghost aficionado! She will even make sure you arent followed home by the ghosts you visit. Austin Ghost Tours is a great experience for locals and visitors to the area alike.

My twin brother David and I were in Austin recently visiting from California. Over lunch, we heard about AGT through Monica, an incredibly-gifted storyteller in her own right. After about three minutes pondering ghost tours over pasta and meatballs, I looked at David and declared, “Let’s do this! Besides, this isn’t something wed normally do in a million years. Right?”He simply nodded in the affirmative. And since the wine was flowing, the moon was glowing and it happened to be a Thursday, we attended “Ghosts, Murder and Mayhem,” an all-outdoors adventure in the darkened streets of Austin.Our informed and hardy guide, Stephanie (wearing full period attire from head to ankles), managed to keep our large group together and engaged.We made our way safely around several (long) city blocks as she wove her love of Austin history into tales of the living dead. Stephanie spoke clearly into her portable loudspeaker, showed us digital photos of ghostly people, and kindly answered our questions like a pro.A couple we met from New Jersey, (Joe and Carolyn, very nice people, I might add) confided they habitually ghost-tour on the east coast and are fans of a particular podcast personality. Who knew this was a thing?What’s more…AGT’s key people are published authors on the subject. I ended up acquiring Monica’s book, “True Haunted Tales of the Driskill Hotel.” The book expanded my tour experience with more details, and allowed me to transport Austin’s ghosts back to Fresno to introduce to others. Get yourself a copy at Amazon now.Sign-up for the next AGT and do yourself a scare. You’ll learn about Austin’s eerie episodes, ominous orbs, and transparent treasures. But make sure you take someone with you, though. Later, when you’re safely back home relaxing (and probably alone) you’ll vividly recall your spine-chilling experiences with AGT—and you’ll need someone to hold your hand and gently stroke your hair.This is the real deal from the original folks who developed it in Austin.Go fo it! You deserve a spooky-grand time! You’ll be sad (and very bored) if you don’t.

Lots of historical value and made for a fun evening for my daughter and I.

So disappointing. Our tour guide was not able to keep our attention at all. Longest hour and half tour I have ever been on.

Pretty good. Ive been on a few around Texas and this one was more history than ghost. The tour guide (maverick??) Was really good at drawing everyone in and seemed to be really knowledgeable about all of the stops.

Man oh man! What can I say about my experience on Thursday night’s ghost tour except for I was ready to walk back to my car after the first stop. The only reason I continued the tour was to get my steps in for the day. It was very lackluster and a little ... boring. I’ve been on several ghost tours throughout the country and I have to say, this is by far the least entertaining one. The stories and the photos shown were drier than last years fruit cake. The tour just lacked personality and life, no pun intended. All and all, the highlight of the tour was going home.Next tour will be the Haunted Pub Crawl where I can at least be inibriated to the point that I do not care about losing $25

This was my wife and I’s first time to Austin so I wanted to find a tour that was both fun and informative (and not on Segways). This was exactly what I was hoping for. Our guide Maverick was great. Learned a lot about different areas of the city and had a lot of fun. Definitely worth the time and very family friendly.

This was a fabulous experience. I learned more about Austin in one night than in the 20 years of living here combined. It has such a rich history and the tour guide we had shared it so well. It was fun walking around at night, hearing the stories, which were more heartbreaking than scary. (Although going to the bathroom in the Driskill Bar by myself does make me jumpy now!)
