Owner, Historian, Actor, and Storyteller, Jim Miles
Hi, my name is Jim Miles,
owner and operator of Walking Tours of Austin, WTA.
Ever since I was a little boy I’ve been drawn to history and storytelling. As I grew up, those passions led me to a master’s degree in Southern History, and a career as a teacher, actor, and professional storyteller.
In short, I love this city and the stories it holds.
I created WTA to reflect that love. I have carefully selected Austin tour guides who are knowledgeable, likable, and most importantly great storytellers. Because at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about, great storytelling. I hope you enjoy your tour of Austin as much as we love telling her story.
