What are people saying about Austin

Daniel_M, Nov 2026

A Whistle-stop stop tour of San Antonio when you’re short of time, this is perfect!

The pick up at our hotel went smoothly and we had plenty of texts with times and confirmations, communication was top notch! The tour was structured so you understood the whole mission history before getting to the Alamo. The first stop at Buc-Ees was awesome! Yes it’s a gas station but omg it was huge! We even got to hear the brisket song! The mission followed by the Alamo was well structured and very interesting. The boat ride was pretty and a nice relaxing 30-40 minutes. The final stop was the tower, but I don’t like heights so I got a beer and a cake and waited for the others to go up. Hannah our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and answered any questions the group had. Thank you Hannah!

David was really...

David was really welcoming and fun to walk with! I went to this tour despite living in Austin for several years, thinking that I'd know stuff - but I learned a lot, and it was packed in a really nice way. Thank you, David, for also making it a quite pleasant experience!

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

Cynthia_W, Oct 2026

Well Worth Our Time!

We had a nice tour with Jacob. It was a rainy afternoon, so not a great sunset but the boat ride and the views along Lake Austin were totally worth seeing. There sure are some gorgeous homes to be admired! If I could change something about the tour it would be to have some narration as we were not from the area and like to learn.

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.

Sharon_R, Oct 2026

Great Austin sightseeing tour!!

Evan was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and asked each person what they wanted to see and learn about Austin. After self-introductions the group loaded into a very comfortable air conditioned van for the two hour tour. The stop at the Capitol at the halfway point afforded a restroom break. Very informative—highly recommend! Evan answered every question! Note that you check in at the desk in the visitor center.

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.

1 hr Lake Austin Boat Cruise. BYOB (Shared - Single Tickets)

Christine_A, Sep 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, Sep 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.
