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

The tour was educational as well as fun. Our tour guide Chad was quite the comedian so he had a funny take on different aspects of the tour. I would definitely recommend the tour of Austin.

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!

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.

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

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.

The driver was great. The tour guide was funny and excellent. It was a good experience. It was hot on the upper deck so if you don’t want to be hot, I would not sit on the upper deck, but that’s it.

Wonderful experience with a great crew
on the bus. They offered many tidbits and recommendations on Austin.
Lisa_W, Apr 2026
Fun tour for a lifelong Texan who hadn’t really visited the state capital much. It was nice to see the sites and get a little refresher of some things I learned in Texas History class. Friendly staff too.

The double decker bus tour is a must on your vacation to Austin! We learned so much about the history of the city. Wish we could have booked it earlier in the week as we did it on our last day. So glad we were able to take it though!
