We were excited to go on...

We were excited to go on the kayak bat tour. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had alternate plans and we were unable to go. Due to our schedule, we were also unable to reschedule. That being said, Nathan was wonderful to work with! Even though we didn't get to go on our tour, I would highly recommend the Boats and Bats kayak tour!

Captain Chris was awesome!

We had a great experience with Captain Chris on our Austin boat tour! He was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the area. Throughout the tour, he shared interesting information about the sights and made the experience enjoyable for everyone on board. One thing we really appreciated was that he slowed down at key points along the route so we could take pictures and enjoy the scenery without feeling rushed. His attention to the guests and willingness to make the tour memorable did not go unnoticed. Based on our experience, I would absolutely book another boat ride with Captain Chris and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing time on the water in Austin.

Double Decker Tours is informative, fun, and if you can sit on top!!

The Austin visitor center is located near a public parking, which is free on Saturdays across from Frost Bank parking. The center is very welcoming. It has a gift shop and very nice staff clean bathrooms while you wait for the bus. The bus left on time at 10 o’clock. The weather was cloudy so we decided to on top, we were offered a water. The staff on the bus were very nice and our guide was extremely knowledgeable.. The guide was concise with his information, told funny stories, and also very interesting stories about the well-known buildings and statues and oil, rigs and etc. stories about people pertaining to the Neighborhoods we were traveling through at the time. Our guide was funny, spoke clearly and used good grammar(!) It was very well done, entertaining, informative. Plus full of recommendations for visiting well-known sites, such as Lady Bird, Johnson, wild flowerPark , music venues, Barton springs, the Capital, and good recommendations on barbecue restaurants and Mexican restaurants, etc. The 90 minutes tour bus was a very enjoyable and memorable experience. Many thanks!

Austin Murder Walk

Murderous Mystery

Jude was an excellent tour guide! I enjoyed listening to his English accent as he led us through the eight murders that took place in Austin in the late 1800s. He took us through the chronology of events, describing the scene and events in detail, yet without being unnecessarily graphic. He explained several different theories related to the killer’s identity and why he was never caught. Even though the weather wasn’t cooperative or pleasant, Jude made the evening both interesting and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Captain Mike da GOAT

It was amazing!! Captain Mike so so kind and he made sure we knew everything there was to know about the lake. It was such a beautiful experience. He was so kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We will definitely be coming back and requesting him again. My boyfriend and I somehow were able to get the whole boat to ourselves which was just extra amazing and romantic :)

We had a great tour to...

We had a great tour to see the bats. Holden, our tour guide, was super nice and informative. The bats were so cool! We were originally due to go on the tour on a Thursday, but a storm came through. They had no problem allowing us to reschedule to the next night or cancelling. They are all so nice!

We like Ike.

Be happy if your tour guide is Ike. We really enjoyed his narrative. We learned a lot of history and also current activities. He was funny, entertaining, and informative. The coach was very comfortable. Two hours flew by. We were most satisfied and are thrilled to reccomend this experience to others.

This was a wonderful...

This was a wonderful experience! Our guide, Trace did a fantabulous job! He was professional, knowledgeable, funny, kept us on track with our winery reservations. Both wineries were amazing! I did like one slightly more than the other but I still enjoyed both. I also got a bottle of wine from each winery!! The BBQ at Salt Lick was delish! The pork ribs were so delicious and well seasoned 😋. Met some cool and fun group of people on the tour. We had a blast! Definitely recommend especially with Trace as the guide!!!

Great day-long excursion

This was a great day-long excursion. Our tour guide Mike was very knowledgeable and friendly. He even let me and the other person on the tour make an extra 30-minute stop to have a drink at a historic bar on the Riverwalk. We packed at lot in during the 8 hours this trip lasted. I'd highly recommend it. The only thing to note is that there is no mealtime scheduled, so bring snacks or grab something at the Buc-ee's stop.
