We went on this trip on a drizzly night so only a few bats were out. The driving tour and the boat tour ran smoothly and the commentary was interesting

Derry_M

The bus tour of town was over an hour. The boat ride was an hour. I was hoping for a 2 hour boat ride.

Claudia_P

Enjoyed seeing a flock of snowy egrets in a tree along bank of lake, Wonder Woman mural, Austin skyline at night. Enjoyed the van tour of city . Bat sighting was meh- could only see with red light and basically shadows of bats against the bridge. Our guide on boat was very low energy, could not hear her at front of boat- did not enrich the experience.

We called the morning of the cruise and told Viator our concerns that the bat cruise could not take place due to the weather. We were assured the cruise would happen even thought bad weather was on the radar. We were 7/10 of a mile from the agreed pickup, but they said we were outside of the range for the custom pickup they advertise. SO - We walked there in the pouring rain. We were. soaked to the bone! Then we waited for a 30 more minutes standing soaking wet for another delay, then had 30 minute traffic to get a couple of blocks. Then 2 hours after we expected to be on the batboat, we were told the cruise wasn’t happening at all. Total false advertising and just scamming for the money. ( which wasn’t cheap at $100/person) I will fight this and expect to win because my record is totally clean. I always pay above and beyond when I get half what I expect. In this case I got Nothing but a loss of 3 hours I could have enjoyed in my limited time in Austin. Beware!!

It was canceled How can I rate it?? What else can I say? I still want to see the bats . When can I see the bats.

Jan_S

The tour was great but communication about pick up was confusing. It wasn’t clear about the spot to meet the bus. At the convention center across the street or at the hotel.

Eric_G

Meeting new people and seeing some interesting parts of Austin. The bats were really amazing to see as well.

Lynn_S

The boat bat tour was very cool. The lady narrator was great. The small group did not realize we would have an Austin driving tour for an hour before the boat tour. So that was a little disappointing.

The driver of the shuttle was driving erratically. He would turn suddenly or jerk the wheel enough to whip everyone around. The drive was so crazy that me and my friend chose to WALK back instead of getting into his “shuttle”.

Owen gave us a very informative tour, waited for us to change clothes and took us to our concert at Austin City Limits. That’s amazing service!
