This is our star tour, showing the very best speakeasy bars Austin has to offer—each with its own unique theme. We begin right at sunset at a hidden speakeasy disguised as a travel agency just outside downtown. This tiki-themed venue features vibrant, exotic décor, theatrical drinks, and unmatched creativity. From there, we head to a hidden luxury speakeasy tucked inside a casual Mexican restaurant, where the atmosphere and décor are breathtaking and the aesthetic alone is enough to consider this location one of Austin's best speakeasies! We then journey through the heart of downtown, sharing Austin’s rich history while passing landmarks such as the Texas State Capitol and the famously haunted Driskill Hotel. Then we slip into an exclusive speakeasy—accessible only by invitation—hidden in a back alley behind the Driskill. Intimate and luxurious, it serves some of the most unforgettable cocktails you’ll ever taste. This isn’t just a tour—it’s Austin’s ultimate speakeasy experience.

Michelle_T, May 2026

10 stars! Worth your money!!

I highly recommend this boat tour! The views were absolutely amazing. When the weather took a turn, the captain put safety first and even provided a refund, which I truly appreciated. The communication was excellent from start to finish. A top-notch experience—I would recommend this to anyone!

This has been on our...

This has been on our bucket list for years and it did not disappoint! The experience was magical and the guides were helpful and informative. We felt safe and supported the whole time. Kayaking back, we were able to enjoy the lights of downtown and have a peaceful paddle back. Would absolutely do it again!

Great Hill Country experience!

Anne Lewis with Fora Travel helped me plan my trip and made recommendations regarding what type of excursions I might enjoy. That led me to book this tour through her and I’m so glad I did! Our guide was Wallace and he was fantastic from beginning to end. He kept us entertained with interesting stories and information along the way. Brisket at Salt Lick was delicious and just what we all needed before we headed off to drink wine! I loved both wineries (though Duchman was my favorite). We spent the perfect amount of time at each and really enjoyed the wine and each other’s company. In the Shuttle headed back to Austin, you’d have thought our group was a bunch of close friends. Wallace definitely helped facilitate that. He also let us stop briefly to see a longhorn cattle ranch and a super cool old Texaco gas station in Driftwood. Both fantastic photo ops. 100% recommend both Anne Lewis with Fora and this tour!

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.
