What a delightful and unique experience! - The bus is absolutely adorable, decked out in pink and flowers, making it perfect for photos. It was so much fun to cruise past the Capitol and other landmarks while enjoying the three-tiered service of tea, sandwiches, and sweets. The live music was a fantastic touch, and the staff (Mallory, Nina & Michelle) were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food is more about the novelty of the experience than being a gourmet meal, but the desserts were tasty. It's a bit of a splurge, but perfect for a birthday, a girls' day out, or just a fun way to play tourist in your own city. Highly recommend!

High Tea in Austin - This is an experience not to be missed! My daughter and I had a fantastic experience as a mother/daughter outing! The food was delicious, and the customer service was first-rate. Mallery provided live music and highlights of Austin while Ashley served delicious hot and cold teas. Michelle drove the double-decker bus like a pro! We had the luxe package and were treated like royalty! (actually everyone on the bus was!) In addition to the sumptuous 3-tier platter piled high with delicious bites, we also received several additional amuse-bouche and a rose mocktail. Would highly recommend getting this package! Love the souvenir cup and will be drinking my tea from this for a while, to remember this inviting experience.

Tea Time! - Tea Around Town Austin was such a beautiful and memorable experience. The ambiance was charming and cozy — the perfect setting for a relaxing afternoon. The live singer was incredibly talented and added such a special touch to the entire experience. The service was top-notch from start to finish — attentive, warm, and professional. I truly enjoyed the delicious food, and every detail was thoughtfully presented. Shoutout to Nina, Ashley, Tiffany and Michele. Tea Around Town Austin exceeded my expectations!

Wonderful experience. - Very relaxing ambiant. Seeing down town Austin, while tea tasting along with lunchon "afternoon tea", with my husband was a good anniversary time spent. The staff were very nice and friendly. Tiffany, Mallory, Ashley, Michele, thanks to all of you for the wonderful experience. I'm really looking forward to going to tea around town again but in Houston next time with my son.

Terrible Time and Awful Customer Service - AVOID - If I could give zero stars I would. I purchased tickets for my mom and daughter to go on the bus as a gift. They had a miserable time due to the air conditioning not working on a 98 degree day in Austin, Texas. The bus even had to pull over at one point to let the chef off to get some air as it was COOLER outside than it was on the bus. Their desserts were melting and they were sweaty and overheated. The people on the bus kept apologizing and they felt bad for those working as well. I reached out to the company for a refund and their response was very much copy and paste and offered me a 5 PERCENT discount on a future booking. This was an expensive gift and experience that was TERRIBLE. Avoid booking this experience.

Ruined our baby shower!! - They canceled the whole bus on us 10 minutes before we were leaving the house. We had a large group and it was a baby shower. Can’t imagine all of the other special events that were impacted that day as all tours that day were canceled at the last minute. They said it was a driver issue. The person on the other end of the phone was the worst customer service ever encountered. When we called him back to ask if we could be rescheduled, he answered “what’s up?”. What’s up- well, you ruined our day and we had to scramble to figure out how to get a baby shower together at another venue last minute!!

Dreadful Experience - My daughter and son in law flew in from Virginia to experience tea on the bus in Austin. My husband I accompanied them. We were seated at a table for four. The food was NOT fresh at all. We paid for the delux experience and it was awful. The eating utensils were not properly washed having sticky substance and I had to ask for clean ones. We each were given one shrimp and a very small slice of tuna. I almost through up in my mouth. The tour guide was too far from the back of the bus and we missed every important detail of where we were. We could have spent our money on a better experience.
