Downtown Austin Sunset Kayak Tour with 1.5 Million Bats

Darcy_M, Oct 2026

An absolute must when...

An absolute must when traveling to Austin. You not only get to experience the bats heading out to start their day, you also get to hear an excellent lesson about these amazing bats, after which you'll paddle away being a fan of Mexican free-tailed bats and Boats & Bats of Austin!

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.

Austin Good Vibes E-Bike Tours

nazar_b, Oct 2026

Great 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.

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

Jessica_G, Oct 2026

Sunset boat cruise

Captain Rip was personable and knowledgeable about the area. We had a fun time on the boat cruise learning about the area and history of Austin. You get a great view of the mansions on the water and hear about the owners and history of the properties. We had a clear night with a beautiful sunset.

Double Decker Austin Single Loop Sightseeing Tour

Jeff_S, Sept 2026

Austin Double Decker Tour Was Great

This is a great tour that provides a nice history of Austin. Our tour guide had a lot of knowledge to share and had a super personality. The tour hits all the main attractions and provides several places for that are the spots to hit. Although it was quite hot, the your on the upper deck of the bus was the way to go. The views were superb fron the top deck. Be sure to pay attention because there are a few tree branches that you will need to duck under. Overall a great tour and highly recommend for an hour and a half trip that gives any first timer to Austin a perfect start to your adventure.

Guided Sunset Bat Kayak Tour in Austin

Rachel_L, Sept 2026

Kayaking making me battle!

Beau was amazing. He took all the care to make sure that we knew how to kayak and felt comfortable helped us get in out of the kayaks, gave us so much knowledgeable information about baths we left with nothing to our imagination he had us timed perfectly to be in front of the bats to see them escape and showed us best places on land to see them he couldn’t have been a better guide.

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!

Jason_Z, June 2026

Great day trip to San Antonio!

The trip to San Antonio is absolutely worth it! Alex was an incredible tour guide and made the trip so much fun. Highly recommend! My favorite stop was the San Jose mission. The site is beautifully restored and has a rich history to be explored. I also enjoyed the San Antonio River Walk boat tour. That part of downtown is beautiful!
