Tour guide picked me up from my hotel and come to find out I was the only one so it was like a private tour! The tour is a great way to see Austin over a greater distance and learn some very interesting history. The stop for a dessert at the vegan vegetarian oasis Casa de Luz was an added bonus.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
A solo pickup that turned into a private tour is a pretty wonderful surprise! And that dessert stop at Casa de Luz is exactly the kind of hidden gem tip that future guests will want to seek out for themselves. đ

What an amazing way to experience and see the city of Austin! Our tour guide Tyler was great and very informative about the Capitol, the buildings and the history of Texas! I could have never gone to these places on my own so this is the way to see it! Highly recommend :)
Response from Host, May 2026
Tyler bringing the Capitol, the architecture and all that Texas history to life in a way that feels totally accessible is exactly what we aim for and you have described it perfectly! đ€
Brad_S, May 2026

Mike picked us up in a clean comfortable van. He was very personable and full of facts . We had a very enjoyable tour of the park with great views We stopped at a very Austin Eastern spiritual center for a snack Then to an informative tour of the state capitol. Would highly recommend Mike if you have the chance

Great tour of the Capital building. Learned interesting facts about the building and stare of Texas. Joseph was very knowledgeable. He was also on time and accommodating for my friend who could not walk a lot. Also loved the authentic Mexican tacos he gave us. Great tour guide who made the trip even better.

Sounds like a great mix of history, comfort, and good food đź Joseph will be happy to hear this

Moji_O, Dec 2025
We scheduled our tour for 12:30. No one showed up and we were outside in the cold. It took 2 calls to discover they had no driver available. Ruined our day plan. Requested we push it yo 4 pm but already had other plans scheduled. Still awaiting for refund. Will never book with company again.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We are sorry for the frustration and disappointment you experienced. We understand how upsetting it must have been to be waiting outside in the cold. Thatâs not the experience we want for our guests, and we sincerely apologize for how this impacted your dayâs plans. We'd love to make it up to you, please reach out to us directly or through your booking platform. We'd love to get in touch and do whatever we can for you. We hope youâll consider giving a chance next time to show you the 5-star experience See Sight Tours is known for.

We were downtown so we were picked up at the hotel, that was great and Victoria our tour guide was on time, and very informative. It was only 4 of us, so it felt very private. We made stops in/out and enjoyed the tour
Steve_S, Nov 2025
The tour was well done. Mike was friendly, informative and accommodating. I enjoyed the tour and learned some interesting things about Austin.
Reza_S, Nov 2025
My spouse and I were the only guests on the tour, and we had such a fantastic experience with our guide Michael and his teammates, Charles and Bimmy. They were all incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and friendly, which made the tour even more enjoyable. We had a lot of fun together, learned so much, and truly appreciated their kindness â they even treated us to lunch! Highly recommend this tour and the amazing team behind it.
Ewelina_B, Nov 2025
Victoria was wonderful, easy to talk too, great communication. We had so much fun with her during this tour!
CATHERINE_P, Nov 2025
Tour was short and brief. We were picked up 1 hour and 44 minutes later. The tour lasted one hour not the 3 Ibpais for as in the description. The tour guide Michael(Mike) was very brief and rushed
Paul_J, Oct 2025
A 3 hour tour of Austin and the capital building, culminating in some great tacos. It was a fun and very informative tour. Our tour guide Moke was very helpful and knowledgeable. Would recommend to others.
Anonymous, Oct 2025
While my tour guide was wonderful, we definitely didnât go to very many of the places it says that you will go to. For the amount of money you are paying, you should be able to expect to see everything listed and we did not. Mount Bonnell was wonderful but never got to Barton Springs or the Pennybacker bridge and the tour was done early and started late. Not worth the amount of money for the trip.
Lauralyn_A, Sep 2025
Austin,TX is an awesome place to visit and get to know about.Tour advisor Mike is a consummate professional and considerate with interruptions from my constant 'ohs and WOWs' not to mention with my selfies.I have enjoyed my indicated tour.Thank you
Marie_A, Jul 2025
John was great very informative fun and knowledgeable. We enjoyed his stories and background info in the capital.
Kama_N, Jul 2025
Our guide, Mike, was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and personable. Great experience! Would definitely do another tour with him again.
Holly_T, Jun 2025
A good overview of Austin covering major aspects of its history and architecture, as well as the surrounding landscape.
Marisol_S, May 2025
John will be not just another guide, he entertains, provide knowledge and open doors to know Austin from within.
Karen_C, May 2025
We did not have a good experience on this tour. Our guide, who never even introduced herself so I can't tell you who to avoid, only stopped at the capital. The rest of the tour was in a car, no stops anywhere. No Mount Bonnell, no nothing. We could have rented a car and done our own thing much cheaper as the capital offers free tours. Don't waste your time with this. I put a complaint in with viator but I doubt they will do the right thing and return my money. Our 3 hour tour was an hour and a half with probably 40 minutes of it at the capital.
Gary_O, Apr 2025
Our driver ran 2 red lights and made a couple of political comments that, although they may resonate with some, were pretty inappropriate in general. The building and sights we visited were fine.
Catherine_K, Apr 2025
An absolutely incredible tour around Austin and the main highlights. Mike was a fantastic guide. Highly recommend
Robert_H, Apr 2025
Tour of the Texas State Capital was guided, not self-guided as described on the website.
Also a nice lunch was provided.
Rfreeman3027, Mar 2025
This is an amazing way to learn the history and see the beauty of Austin. John's knowledge historical knowledge in general is simply astonishing. He has such a pleasant personality and takes pride in making sure you're questions are answered... not to mention he took us to get some of the best tacos ever! Thank you for a wonderful tour!

Had a great tour around with John. Saw all the highlights of Austin on a 3 1/2 hour ride with several stops. John has amazing knowledge of Austin and told us so much about the city.

Bill was a wonderful tour guide and shared a wealth of information about Austin. I had some unexpected mobility issues and he was very accommodating.
