Delightful tour, just enough information to do more if I wanted to. Went solo but was made very comfortable by the tour guide. Saw wonderful art, the capitol (walked grounds and inside for a short time), went to the various neighborhoods and learned some of the history of Texas and Austin. We went by many music venues and many barbeque restaurants, saved that info for a later trip! And all done with visitors from all over the world!

Our guide, Nick was great! He was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun and informative! I learned so much about Austin and I especially loved the State Capitol and The Texas State Cemetery history.

Our group of 9 visiting from Vancouver thoroughly enjoyed our Austin City tour, it covered what we wanted and was just the right length. Our guide Cliff was very personable, funny, and knowledgible, we enjoyed his commentary on the different areas, sites, and landmarks around the city. He was also helpful adjusting a few things due to one of the gals in our group needing some extra support due to a bad hip. We also loved the little surprise treat near the end of the tour to the icecream shop! A great time was had by all, definitely recommend.
