We recommend Alexis' private tour

Chris_S, Dec 2025

We did the private tour option which was expensive, but we got to go at our own pace and have an experience with the tour guide. Austin has great food options and we really enjoyed Alexis' information about the local sites. Highly recommend. We have made of point of doing food or cocktail tours in all the cities we visit, and Austin did not disappoint.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Fantastic tour!

Pola was awesome! Very informative and personable. We loved the 5 places that we went to. The brisket was the best!
