What are people saying about Austin

Cynthia_W, Oct 2026

Well Worth Our Time!

We had a nice tour with Jacob. It was a rainy afternoon, so not a great sunset but the boat ride and the views along Lake Austin were totally worth seeing. There sure are some gorgeous homes to be admired! If I could change something about the tour it would be to have some narration as we were not from the area and like to learn.

Austin Electric Bike Tour: Let it Ride

Daniel_M, Oct 2026

Rob was an amazing tour...

Rob was an amazing tour guide. The route is very easy to follow along and he will show and give you an insider's history of the city and big landmarks. If you're worried about riding in the city. Rob is great at directing you where to ride. We ended up having a personal tour of the city. It was a little hard to get to the shop due to having booked during the ACL Festival. But a LYFT solved that issue. I highly recommend this tour.

Choosing to go on e-bikes was a good idea, it was a hot day and not pedaling excessively made all the difference. The guide, Rooster, set a great mood from the beginning and kept going all the way through. Great ride through the city with highlights and multiple stops. We had a good time and would recommend.

1 hr Lake Austin Boat Cruise. BYOB (Shared - Single Tickets)

Christine_A, Sept 2026

Boat Trip fantastic

You need to pay $5 cash each to the people at the entrance to the boarding deck of your boat. The staff on today was very rude we only had a little cash or card was told this was not acceptable even though we had paid for the trip online. Nothing to do with the organisers or the trip. They were great.

From Austin: Hill Country BBQ & Wine Shuttle

Mary_W, Sept 2026

Hill Country and Wine Tour, an enjoyable wine and dine experience.

After a rough start, we had a great afternoon of barbecue and wine with Evan, our driver and tour guide extraordinaire. Our tickets did not mention meeting at the visitors center. So we started at the wrong location but the tour improved once we connected with Evan and our group. The barbecue and sides were delicious at Salt Lick. The two winery’s we visited provided a great tasting experience. Evan is an engaging, fun tour guide who gave us the history of the sites we visited and more. This was an enjoyable half day excursion into Texas Hill Country! I recommend Hill Country BBQ and Wine with Detour Travel.

Best of Austin Small-Group Driving Tour with Local Guide

Tassey_M, Aug 2026

Traveling Through Austin with Trace

This was an extremely good overview of Austin. Trace Holt, our tour guide, was engaging, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the various neighborhoods, eating establishments (can you say barbeque?!) and the live music scene. This tour was slightly more than 2 hours and packed so much into that time, including a stop inside the state capitol. Also, it's easy to join as the tour starts and ends at the Austin Visitor Center on 5th. Would most definitely recommend this tour!
