Return to a time when the mob ran Galveston and their guests were treated as if they were family. When you crossed the bridge you enter "The Free State of Galveston," where the only rules were mob rules. The stars of the era were world class entertainers brought in to perform in the casinos, including Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin. Everyone was enjoying their own "Vegas Dream" right here in Galveston.

It was a dark and stormy night! So Rob threw in some ghost stories with the tour. I’m a haunted tour guide with Haunted ATX in Austin, Tx, so this was perfect for our group. Hearing about the history of some of the women of Galveston was so fascinating. I would recommend grabbing a cocktail at Daiquiri Time Out while in the area.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and kinda fun so this rating is no way on her. This was my third tour by three different companies and they are all the same. I was hoping for something different for the price like actually going into buildings and doing more than just walk and talk. The traffic and people noise spoils it all. I know they cannot help it, but again for the price I expected something much better.

In the year 1885 America’s first serial killer stalked the streets and alleyways of the young, emerging city of Austin. More terrifying than any ghost story, this monster brutally and systematically hacked eight women to death using an ax. For one calendar year, he terrified a city and came to be known as the “midnight assassin”. He was never captured and his identity remains a mystery or does it...? This tour is our longest at 1 hour 45 minutes and covers 2 miles of historic Austin including West 6th street, Guy Town, the Warehouse District and a drink stop at the iconic Driskill Hotel. The pace is leisurely and, in addition to a drink stop at the Driskill, (drinks not included), there are short rests along the journey. Join us on this exceptional true crime walking tour investigating exact crime locations and the various theories surrounding the midnight assassin. It’s a “killer” tour.

I did the nightly Ghost Walk and it was great! I feel like I learned so much about Austin, and there were a good mixture of stories from both past and present. A big group was supposed to go for my tour, but were unable to make it through no fault of their own, so I was the only one! It was like a private tour! Keely was my tour guide, and she was amazing! Very personable! It was fun exploring Austin and learning about some of its history! I recommend checking it out!
