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!!!

Just Plain Fun - This tour was full of energy and fun! Rain bow was full of information, lots of personality, and she drove safe. Hanna Marie was very talented (she sang to us and played the guitar), and she was very personable when escorting us around. Both had such a good banter between them and got the whole bus involved in the tour. We saw some quirky and cool murals, had a nice walk across the bridge, and even got some ice cream at the end. Would highly recommend this tour for a fun way to learn more about Austin.
