My wife and I had the best time on this tour. We are both true crime junkies but Emily exceeded all of our expectations of this tour. I’ve been on a few tours in Austin and this was by far the best one yet. If anyone has the opportunity to do this tour please please please do it- it’s unforgettable. I can’t speak highly enough of Emily and her knowledge of this entire case. It was such a good time we would literally do it again in a heartbeat.

This was a very fun experience which I shared with my 21 year old daughter. Emily was so informed and had done a lot of research about the unsolved murder we explored. She made the tour interactive, asking for our input and giving up visual aids to help us to see the murder and visualize it as it happened, while on the walking tour. We were participants in solving a mystery and go to see and experience placed in downtown Austin that we wouldn't have otherwise. This is a fun tour and great for any "true crime junkie".

Interesting tour, included a bit of history of the city buildings along with the murders which were the subject of the tour. It was evident Emily was very passionate about the subject and had a wealth of knowledge to answer any questions thrown at her. Not being from the USA, Emily was helpful in providing guidance on Austin and the states in general. One of the best things we have done here in Austin!
