Must do tour for first time Austin visitors. - This was my first trip to Austin, Texas and this tour hands-down was the best decision I made. Jax, our tour guide, was beyond informative and funny, she really made the city of Austin come alive on the tour with opportunities for pictures; details on so much history, including art and music as well as providing tons of recommendations for food, drinks, and entertainment. If this is your first time to Austin, then you need to book this tour!

Nice overview of neighborhood bars and restaurants - A solid overview of Austin’s neighborhoods, but a bit too focused on bars and food trucks. The real issue is the bus: anyone over 5'10" will be uncomfortable for the entire hour. Expect cramped legs and a sore back by the end.
