This historical walking tour takes guests through the presence of Black people in the heart of downtown Austin. Since Austin’s establishment in 1839 and before, people of African descent have played an integral part in this city’s development. We journey through centuries of histories, contributions, and experiences that are seldom told.

On this one-mile walk, guests will engage in dialogue about Black people's role in Austin’s development and their continued presence.

Lake Austin Sunset Boat Cruise – 1 - Hour Scenic Tour BYOB

Cara_S, Apr 2026

1 Hour Sunset Boat Ride on Lake Austin with Austin Rental Boats

I booked a 1 hour Sunset Boat Ride on Lake Austin in early April 2026 for myself and four girlfriends that were visiting from out of town. We had the front of the boat to ourselves and another group was in the back. The weather was iffy (light rain but thankfully no lightning) so we didn't get a good sunset but we all had a great time taking in the views around Lake Austin. Highly recommend Captain Mueller; he was very personable and made the ride fun and memorable. Saw Pennybacker Bridge as well as the Little Venice area and the hour flew by so fast. I would definitely do this trip again!

Fantastic Tour and Intro to Austin

Ike was an excellent guide - knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly very connected to Austin. His passion for the city really came through and made the whole experience feel special rather than just a standard tour. We even stopped at the Capitol building, which felt like an added bonus, and he shared so much context and insight along the way. He also recommended plenty of places to visit during our stay, which has been incredibly helpful. The van was comfortable, and the small group made it easy to enjoy and ask questions. I couldn’t recommend this more as an introduction to Austin.

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.

things_to_do

Austin tours allow you to explore all the wild, wonderful, and delicious aspects of a city that has staked its reputation on live music and incredible barbecue with a side of strange. There are several fun and active ways to explore the capitol—Segway, bike, double-decker bus, or even a BYOB boat tour, timed to see the famed Congress Avenue Bridge bats. And if you can’t BYO, opt for a day trip to Texas wine country. No matter what you choose, just remember to keep it weird.
