“This was an excellent tour by a passionate and knowledgeable historian. Emily is a great guide, she truly knows her history and is an engaging speaker and thoughtful guide. I would recommend it for everyone who visits downtown Austin!”

“This tour was fantastic. Emily was a terrific tour guide that provided exceptional insight and details to go along with her amazing story telling. She has a unique ability to bring the story to life with her well researched information and a passion that comes through in her words. I highly recommend this tour not just if your a true crime fan but also to get to know a bit of Austin history. The tour is almost as amazing as its guide. She is a terrific guide but an even better person. I am lucky to have met her.”

“Emily has substantial knowledge of the subject matter which really kept us focused in the intriguing crime spree of the late 1800s. Thanks for the great experience. We highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed..”
