Broaden your music horizons - We visited three classic Austin Music spots, each was unique. Joey, our guide was great. He shared a lot of great information about the city, and the music scene.

Favorite Experience in Austin - Joey is as so awesome, personable, thoughtful, interesting, funny, knowledgeable and kind. He remembered everyone’s name on the tour and where they were from. The driver David was also great! We did an icebreaker of the last memorable concert we went to and they made a point of playing that music during our drives. The venues we went to were so fun that we even stayed at the last one to finish listening to the bands set. Hands down our favorite part of our Austin weekend trip.

Went to three different... - Went to three different music venues and loved every last one so much! Food trucks available at each for a bite, our guide was informative and wonderful and we’re so happy we did this tour because we saw places we otherwise would of never stepped foot into that we’ve only seen in the movies.

Don’t put lipstick on Austin - Our music tour last night was fun from start to finish. Kendalin Jane our guide was wonderful! She was knowledgeable, energetic and full of stories about the Austin music scene. And Dave our driver kept us rolling with great tunes!
We heard some great local music and discovered some hidden cool places we’d never have found on our own. If you’re in town and want to experience a slice of Austin, this tour is a must. Huge thanks to Kendalin Jane and Dave for showing us the real Austin….and for keeping it weird!

Disappointing Given The Rave Reviews - 1 star for Kelty, 1 star for Ike and 1 star for the Saxon Pub. We were so excited for this tour which started out amazingly well then went downhill quickly. Our second stop was Broken Spoke - which is advertised as a dance hall. The focus was NOT the music. We were not interested in twostepping (we were on a girls trip) and were sorely disappointed in this venue. The third venue truly made us scared for our lives. We went to the Skylark which was racked, stacked and packed with people. It was truly unsafe to be inside - we had visions of the White Snake fire. Your couldn't enter it was so packed with people. Codes were broken that night! We were forced to stay outside (the whole group did) where most patrons (also standing room only outside) were smoking "something". We felt that we were one butt from a catastrophic fire. We could not hear the music, it was raining, and it was far from enjoyable. Based on the amazing reviews of this tour we were so excited. Unfortunately, it fell far short of our expectations.
