Great tour of Austin.
Carol_R, Dec 2022
The young woman who gave the tour was fantastic… very knowledgeable, added a bit of humor and was very easy to understand.
Highly recommend the tour to give you a basic overview of the city and places to check out on your own.
Intro to Austin

Our tour guide (Hayden I think) was personable, knowledgeable and had a great personality for this job. We covered a wide area and hit all the top tourist spots. I would definitely recommend this to get an overview of the city. We had some fun people on the bus with us and it was a great time!
Nice and quick way to see Austin if time is of essence

Great tour! Just the amount of time and enjoyment I need for a short afternoon in Austin tour. The tour guide was entertaining and the ride was smooth
Must do while in Austin!

The most memorable part of the experience what’s the tour guide. I forget her name, but she is a local from Austin. She was very well versed in Austin and the various historical locations. She also had a ton of entertaining story of how her family has been involved in Austin or involved or some really well known musicians in Austin. The tour overall was really good. If you’re going to be in Austin, why not do the loop at least once. I’d highly recommend it just to see the rest of the city while you were visiting. It’s an easy and economical way to see all of Austin. Go do it! It’s a must do in Austin because you get to know where some of the key or great spots are cross Austin. I actually recommend doing this to upon arrival to Austin so that you’re oriented in the city of Austin.

Great tour guide! Awesome way to see the city and learn of its history! We had beautiful weather for sitting up top!
Get there early
Connie_A, Nov 2022
I would highly recommend sitting as close to the front upstairs as ya can. One of the speakers didn’t work and we couldn’t hear anything. If you are unfortunate enough to sit in the back you will smell diesel fuel and plan on feeling the heat from engine.
Austin for the first time
Ansie_S, Nov 2022
