Excellent overview of Austin’s Neighborhoods and Hotspots. - We really enjoyed the tour of all of Austin’s downtown neighborhoods. Learning about its history and current relevance. The highlight was the Capital building. Our very engaging guide Evan made it a fun trip around the city. Highly recommend.

Cool and relaxing way to see Austin - Jax was amazing! This company has some really great tour guides. She knew so much of the music scene in Austin on top of the hot spots and tidbits of all the neighborhoods. I bugged her for places and things to do after and she gave me all the information!

FIVE STARS for LUKE on a delightful Austin Tour - We had a delightful time touring the highlights of Austin with Luke, our tour guide, in a small group. Luke kept us informed and chuckling throughout the tour and described some interesting insights we never would have known if it were not for Luke sharing his own hometown Austin experiences. Thank you for a fantastic tour and as they say, "keep Austin weird!"

Austin Facts with treat - Jax gave a great tour with plenty of details and trivia. The treat at Bon Appétit was a nice touch - they even refilled our jug with ice and water on a very hot day (100F).

Connor is the best! Great tour! - Our guide Connor was super engaging and funny with a few dad jokes sprinkled in even though he definitely does not give dad vibes. lol He asked us what we were interested in seeing or hearing about at the beginning of our tour and was able to answer most of our questions. *I stumped him on one question about a particular mural. We learned about the history of the city, the different neighborhoods and the best of everything ie. Music, food, comedy, recreation, etc. P.S. My foot was really bothering me so I was the turtle of the group and he was patient and very accommodating. If you want to see the city and have some physical limitations which wont allow you to do an hour long walking tour, this is a great tour. They had a step stool to help those who needed it to get in and out of the van which was really appreciated.

Perfect tour to get to know Austin - We were greeted at the visitor center by Jax and taken around the cities. Jax was amazing as she knew all the local knowledge of the area. She gave us loads of time to ask questions, and we even got to get out at a few spots to take photos and walk through the Capitol Building. So cool, as it gave us info on Austin and helped us orientate ourselves.
