Super fun way of seeing some of the ‘different’ highlights of Austin. Piccadilly is really knowledgeable about the history and the area, Dan provides awesome entertainment and together made a fun morning adventure.

What a great and unique way to see the city! We had a great time!!! See what makes Austin so special!

We had trouble parking -- Austin half-marathon barriers -- but notified the tour driver that we'd be a few minutes late. He knew we were on our way. Even though we paid a lot of money, we totally understand that the guide cannot hold up the tour. We called 10 times so he could tell us where to meet at 2nd or 3rd stop. Didn't pick up or return call til tour was half over and too late for us to join. Wasted our afternoon and they provided a partial refund.

The guys were great. Loved the original songs too. We were able to get out of the van and experience a lot of the local landmarks and take photos.

Your overall was good and showed cool fun stuff. Guide mentioned things when we’d already passed them and the can used isn’t the best for this kind of tour.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you for joining us on our "weird" adventure!

Amber and Cliff (or was it Clint?)aka Little Willie we’re awesome! Amber has a great personality and she is very funny. She is also very knowledgeable about Austin and is a proud Texan. Little Willie had great songs, with clever lyrics set to great vintage tunes. A very fun afternoon!

Loved the walk across the lake and music from our co-guide. Ice cream was a real treat and history an added bonus
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Glad you had fun! Thanks for joining us!

Blue & Lucinda were fantastic tour guides & kept us informed & entertained the entire time. Lots of fun.
JOHN_E, Nov 2022
None, the tour guides tried to make it a silly party rather than an interesting tour. For example, at the Littlefield Fountain, we were explaining to the tour guide what it was.
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It sounds like we need to address the intent of this tour with our guides to clarify that while we want a fun atmosphere, we still need them to relay the information about the sights. We appreciate your feedback and will prioritize that company meeting!
Darci_K, Nov 2022
We loved stopping at all the beautiful murals. The tour was structured so the guide would share information while driving then we’d get to experience the areas at the stops and along the ride. The guides were energetic and engaging. They were also happy to give recommendations of things to do and places to see that weren’t on the tour for Austin visitors.

Best tour in Austin! The dynamic duo were funny, informative, inclusive, kind and entertaining. Love that they offered to take our pics and treated us to ice cream. Book this tour!

6th street, Congress Ave and Lady bird lake. Our guides were entertaining and kept me wanting more. that is enough
Kim_H, Apr 2022
The curators were knowledgeable- not quite as experienced as the previous guides we have had. Pleasant experience
Tammy_T, Apr 2022
Grace is a natural Austin tour guide and knows her Austin history well. She is super personable and outgoing and throws a great tour party! The music accompaniment by Clint was super fun and offered a sampling of how Austin loves music!
Doreen_Y, Feb 2022
