Great tour with a great guide - This was a great tour. Sherry was considerate and knowledgeable about Austin history. She has lived in Austin a long time and was able to answer my totally off-topic questions about Austin. I liked that it was in a part of town that is very culturally and historically important to Austin, but also a place where tourists usually don't see.

Great food, You Pay - The food was delicious. Be aware though, that food is not included in the price of the tour. Went back and looked to see where this is noted. It is not clearly stated. Everyone on the tour was surprised. The cost for the tour is questionable due to this fact.
