Our bus tour of Austin was the highlight of our weekend! Being able to sit on the top deck, seeing SO many sights and learning the history behind them, being entertained and taught by our very knowledgeable and entertaining guide, Chad -
a 10/10 experience and we loved every minute of it!
Will definitely recommend to friends in Austin, and visitors!

Tammy_C, Jun 2026
Very informative tour. The tour guide was personable and engaging. The bus was clean and plenty of water! That was a good thing as it was very hot on the tour. The tour gave us a really good start to our visit in Austin.

Great introduction to Downtown Austin. The guide was knowledgeable and witty, and made the tour much more interesting.
Nanga_A, Jun 2026
Amazing amazing experience! Worth every dime. You make me have a different perspective on tourism. A must do every time you are in a new city and the tour conductor/ speaker brought everything to live. Loved listening to him and watching him he was hilarious!!! Had everyone cracking up!

My first trip to Austin and I chose to take a Waymo to the tour. My Waymo got stuck in my hotel parking lot for 12 minutes until I got someone to remotely drive it to the street. That meant I was running late and I called this company but got voice mail. I was afraid I'd miss the tour, but as we arrived the apparent owner of the voice mailbox was chuckling as I pulled up. He heard the message even though I left it just 7 minutes before!!
The tour was awesome! The tour guide Alex involved the group with questions as he explained the sites all along the trip.
I tried to map the tour so I could grab another if it missed anything and this tour really encompassed everything about downtown Austin.
I really enjoyed it. The only downside was that I didn't take their advice to put on their provided sunscreen.

Super fun. Beautiful sights. The tour guide was super funny. Very knowledgeable. Would 100% do it again.
Bennie_P, Jun 2026
Great mini tour of Austin and its history. There’s a lot to see and this tour helped pinpointed a few spots for us.
Delphine_P, Jun 2026
The Austin visitor center is located near a public parking, which is free on Saturdays across from Frost Bank parking. The center is very welcoming. It has a gift shop and very nice staff clean bathrooms while you wait for the bus. The bus left on time at 10 o’clock. The weather was cloudy so we decided to on top, we were offered a water. The staff on the bus were very nice and our guide was extremely knowledgeable.. The guide was concise with his information, told funny stories, and also very interesting stories about the well-known buildings and statues and oil, rigs and etc. stories about people pertaining to the Neighborhoods we were traveling through at the time. Our guide was funny, spoke clearly and used good grammar(!) It was very well done, entertaining, informative. Plus full of recommendations for visiting well-known sites, such as Lady Bird, Johnson, wild flowerPark , music venues, Barton springs, the Capital, and good recommendations on barbecue restaurants and Mexican restaurants, etc.
The 90 minutes tour bus was a very enjoyable and memorable experience. Many thanks!

A brief introduction to Austin history in a 1.5 hours city tour. The ride on the open upper deck of the double decker bus was pleasant on a partly cloudy morning in May.

I think that it was average. I would appreciate more history and transition to revelance to current times. Some things seemed to random.

Well worth it to get a glimpse of areas you would like to visit. Our tour guide was fun, friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend it!
Tammy, May 2026
Our daughter is moving to Austin for a summer internship so we wanted her to get a good feel for the city. I had done the tour quite a few years ago but it was the first time for my husband and daughter in Austin. Unlike many other double deck tours, this is not a hop on/off.
Christine_D, May 2026
We had the best time with Jason as our tour guide. He was very upbeat, friendly, hilarious and informative! I will definitely be taking more guests on this tour when they visit town.
Andrea_H, May 2026

Dana_B, May 2026
Excellent tour that covers a lot of areas of Austin! I highly recommend taking it. Keith was an awesome tour guide!
Gerald_E, May 2026
It’s advertised as a 1 hour and 15 minute to 1 hour and 30 minute tour. The tour bus left at 2:35pm and was back at 3:25pm, barely 50 minutes for a $75 tour.
Consiglia_F, May 2026
Do this on the first day as an introduction to a new city. We loved going back on our own to many of the places we were told about.
