Meet up in front of Cosmic Saltillo. A lush garden oasis serving up coffee, brews and cocktails in a unique setting that is the definition of what makes East Austin a top destination for locals to hang out at. We begin our 2 hour walking food tour with a leisure journey through a small part of the east side and stopping for the first food bite at a local favorite food truck that has grown with the neighborhood. There we will try a delicious falafel bite. Our journey will continue with a walk through the neighborhood taking in the Historic sites and street art to our 2nd destination, a place that was once a local convenient store turned brewery. There we try a Tex-Mex bite while learning about how this place became a local favorite brewery that has won multiple awards for their craft and a place that is literally off the beaten path. We then end our food journey with a sweet, unique bite you can’t find anywhere else, from a local place with an Austin cult following.

What are people saying about Austin

Ejd1056, Apr 2026

Amazing experience

Although it seems a little disorganised getting everyone onto the water, the trip was very good. The guide- John- was very knowledgeable and we saw lots of bats. A word of warning though, it is quite a way to row and when we were rowing back it was dark but also there was a head wind so it was quite tough - it’s about 3 miles of rowing altogether. Amazing experience

Getting weird in Austin

First time using an E bike and our guide Rooster gave great instructions in time to test out the bike before heading out for a super fun trek across Austin. His high energy, super friendly, and keeping Austin weird attitude really added to our trip. Loved all the history of Austin he shared and the really cool neighborhoods. Keep ringing your bell Rooster.

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

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!

Susan_K, Apr 2026

Fun even alone

It's not really much a tour, it's more of a hired guy who drives a boat. He doesn't do much talking about where we are or who's house is who's other than Elon Musk's House, a golf course and a bridge, which is fine, still worth $50, but I wouldn't call it a historical tour or anything.

Learning on the River!

Our guide was pleasant, knowledgeable, patient with all our questions. He entered into discussions with us about the Austin area, construction along the river, fishing in the river, the dam, average costs of housing in Austin and along the river, and more. We learned a great deal, which was what we hoped would happen. We highly recommend this service for a pleasant, comfortable, educational opportunity along the river.

Guided Sunset Bat Kayak Tour in Austin

Suzanne_S, Oct 2025

October bats & skyline

Beautiful evening to go kayaking and experience the bat flight. Ethan did a great job sharing information about the bats, Austin skyline, and Lady Bird Lake. Austin info was interesting since we were visiting from out of state and this was our only evening in town. As for the bats, wow! We are at the end of season and were warned there may not be as many bats since they are starting to migrate. Afterwards we were told that it was a very large (almost full) group that flew out. Upwards to 1.5 million bats is hard to comprehend! It was spectacular and skin crawling at the same time! I was definitely happier to be on the water towards the back of our group rather than closer to being under the bridge or standing on the bridge where the bats fly past. The only negative was not being able to hear Ethan’s comments leading up to the fly out. I was able to listen to another tour guide closer to me. Kayaking back afterwards beneath the skyline lights and a beautiful night sky was fantastic and not nearly long enough! Beautiful way to end the evening.
