Fun, funny and informative - This was my 1st trip to Austin and really didn't know much about the city, history, food or culture. The driver of the van was so informative and friendly. He did a great jo of showing us fun places to visit while in the city. There was also a singer that played guitar and took pics!

Fun tour! - What a great time with Blue Bonnet Benny and Lucinda Music. They were fun, informative and musically talented. Lots of good stops with photo ops along with a walk across the pedestrian bridge. AND a delicious ice cream stop! They were a lot of fun. Two thumbs up!

Good tour. - My friends and I had great time touring Austin with Darwin and Dan. They were entertaining. We enjoyed the ice cream too. We might have enjoyed visiting more of UT Austin. But that’s just us.

Awesome and Fun Tour of Austin - Highly Recommend!!! - Visited Austin for the first time for just one day with my daughter and booked the Twisted Texas Tour as thought it would be fun for both of us. This tour went beyond our expectations!! The two tour guides, one that sings with her guitar, were extremely knowledgeable about Austin and personable. The van was comfortable, and we had the opportunity to get off to explore and take pictures many times during the tour. I felt like we truly got the feel for Austin and what there was to see and do after the tour. And the tour even ended with an ice cream treat. Highly recommend the Twisted Texas Tour to enjoy your time in Austin!!!

If you have time to kill…. - Fun way to kill an hour but don’t expect too much! We had some time before our dinner reservations and decided to try this.

Knew we were coming - Left without Us - Didn't answer calls -- Didn't say where 2nd -3rd stop - We had trouble parking -- Austin half-marathon barriers -- but notified the tour driver that we'd be a few minutes late. He knew we were on our way. Even though we paid a lot of money, we totally understand that the guide cannot hold up the tour. We called 10 times so he could tell us where to meet at 2nd or 3rd stop. Didn't pick up or return call til tour was half over and too late for us to join. Wasted our afternoon and they provided a partial refund.
