Great relaxed intro - Enjoyed this walk around downtown. Nice small group Friendly laid back guide , Tyler
Great for the first morning in town . Thought it could have extended a little to take us down 6th street and up to the Capitol but obviously would need more time

A Good Tour for Day 1 - A good orientation to Austin, including some history and culture. At times it seemed to promote certain businesses “so when you’re out tonight…”. A little heavy on the foodie scene. William did a great job on directing our small group , timing the lights. At the statue of woman and cannon, a family w a big stroller blocked the view. I wish he had asked the family to shift . He was spontaneous when policemen on horse was nearby. He took us over to the horses so people could pat them.. William is pleasant, Could talk a little less about himself. But he is a natural at tour guiding .
