This is the perfect tour... - This is the perfect tour to do when you arrive in Austin. We got a good feel for the city, ideas on what to do next and learned some fun facts. It was a great length/pace for our kids and the Austin Visitors Center was easy to find and good location for heading out to explore after the tour.

Excellent overview of Austin - We took the small group driving tour. It was a very informative and fun ride in a van hitting most of the places you would like to see. Ike was a very experienced, fun and knowledgeable guide, telling us stories and giving important hints about the city. It is easy to see both sides from inside the van. There are two stops, a longer one at the congress building and a shorter one in front of the famous mural. We really enjoyed it!
