The tour opens on a warm Red River evening: neon signs hum, pavement still radiates daytime heat, and the guide gathers a small group outside Moonshine's patio to set the pace. Voices drop as the first story begins — outlaw shootouts, a Victorian hotel's sorrow, and the rumor-heavy alleys of Austin's Old West.
