Snapshot of Austin's history in a walking tour - Possibly one of the best tours I've been on in years. Tyler is a fantastic storyteller, giving a thorough deep-dive into the history of Austin. A lengthy, walking tour, but totally worth learning about the history of the city, while touring locations throughout the city. Meet-up point was easy to get to, there's a parking garage located next door, as well as a Starbucks on the corner across from Love, Tito's. There's food and drink options along the way, very cool way to experience a snapshot into Austin's downtown. Tour is safe, travel in an intimate group, and gave me a look into the city that exceeded my expectations. I definitely would love to come back and spend more time, but only had this 1 day to enjoy the city.
p.s. bring water and wear comfortable walking shoes!

Austin City tour - Our guide was full of historical knowledge which helped make the tour very enjoyable. Walking through the old neighborhoods and seeing the new skyscrapers in the background was a sight to see! Austin is a nice city to visit.

Tour Austin with Tyler 😎 - My teenage son and I were the only ones on our afternoon walking tour with Tyler. He was friendly, knowledgeable, takes pride in Austin, and paced the tour just right for us. Our fave parts were the walk along the water (even though there was a lot of noisy construction all around), stepping into the historic Driscoll Hotel, and the most delicious hidden taco restaurant we would have never stumbled upon without Tyler (Taqueria de Diez). He answered all our questions, had some good stories, and made sure there wasn’t anything we still wanted to know about before the tour ended. We asked for an ice cream shop recommendation and he suggested Amy’s Ice Creams (where my son and I walked after our tour and it was another superb place!) Thank you, Tyler for an awesome Austin tour.

Cool way to learn about Austin downtown - Jake was a great tour guide! He was informative, entertaining, and kept us moving.
The tour itself is a good first step when visiting Austin. You get grounded and meet cool people.

Good Walking tour of Austin - Great Introductory tour of Austin. Shannon our guide was outstanding in Highlighting the History of Austin while Showing the Sights. Great for first timers visiting Austin.

Two years ago we... - Two years ago we participated in a food and tour event in Mobile Alabama.
That was a tour that included in the cost samples from a number of different restaurants in downtown Mobile
We thought this was going to be a similar experience but it was different which was disappointing
Perhaps we missed that when we read the material.
Tyler did a good job showing us around downtown Austin

Walk With Someone Else - I gave the tour a 1 because I couldn’t give it a zero. Why a zero? Because our tour never happened! We waited for an hour at Love, Tito’s for the tour to start. The guide never showed up and the tour company never contacted us. We contacted the company about the guide. This did not only affect us but another two people looking to take the same tour, (They said our money will be refunded.)

Don’t waste your money on this tour - Our tour guide showed up 5 minutes late, did not wear the tour co shirt. Told us he had texted that he was late, which he had not. He was someone substituting for an actual tour guide. Jake did not know that the bar at the end of the tour is closed for reno. Don’t waste your money! Buy a book, walk around town and save $100
