A beginners private introduction to dancing Two-Step at the location of your choice, or a friends ranch, before an optional night out in an Austin Honky-Tonk. This is a customizable service, for singles, couples, groups, bachelorette parties, etc. The smaller the size the more attention I can give to each person. I've been an avid two-stepper since 2017. I was taught by a phenomenal teacher and pass on the wisdom he gave me. This includes the basic footwork, spins and dips. I go beyond that to teach dance etiquette, frame and what makes a good lead or follow. These are tips the large group lessons do not have time to educate on. An hour with me and you will be good to hit the Austin Honky-Tonk scene. I am open to teaching a private lesson before taking you to an authentic honky-tonk. There are options and we can discuss where exactly you prefer. Bonus info: I am actually originally from Great Britain, so you will be learning Texas Two-Step from an English Gentleman.

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.

Just wow!

This was a bucket list trip, and it exceeded my expectations!!!the guides were knowledgeable and accessible. They both took the time to chat with me. The view of downtown was spectacular. And the bats!!!! I watched them from the north side of the bridge the other night, but the bats all head out the south side, so I knew I needed to get a better vantage point. Just wow!!!

It was informative and entertaining, just the right amount of Austin history and facts. The e-biking is easy and Peter made sure we were safe. I definitely recommend this to others.

Wonderful boat tour/ride...

Wonderful boat tour/ride up the CO River. Despite there being no sunset due to the cloud cover. It was still really wonderful boat tour! Travis was our guide and he was a really good driver/guide. It was well worth the money to do it for a full hour boat tour. Thanks for our boat was filled with pretty chill people otherwise I probably wouldn't have given it a five-star review.

This was a great tour we learned about the cultural roots of Austin. The tour took us throughout the city pointing out restaurants, dance venues, and businesses that makeup the culture in this city.
