Pimp Piccadilly and Lucinda Music are the best! - We wanted to do a “ keep Austin weird tour” that wasn’t as traditional, and not with a huge group. The air conditioned van holds a maximum of 12 guests which is perfect to make it more personal and fun. Our tour guide pimp Piccadilly doesn’t disappoint keeping the information interesting instead of dryly sharing historical facts. Lucinda’s guitar playing and songs were very funny while also sharing information about the city. We made some stops along the way for photo opportunities and learned things we would’ve likely never know about Austin. Highly recommend!

Give this tour a try if you need some fun weirdness - A friend from out of state and i spent a night in downtown Austin and went on this tour that picks up at the Austin Visitor center. Pimp Picadilly and Clint Manning were our driver and musician for this small van tour. Otherwise we had a total of 6 tourists. We visited a wall art location we were allowed to write on, crossed the walking bridge at Ladybird lake, enjoyed rice ice cream at a local women's business and learned fun facts about glthe weirdness (aka buy local) city including unusual laws on the books. So fun recommended!

The ice cream was a treat! - Pimp Picadilly and Clint Manning were fun and fabulous. The tour was worth the price and we had a great group of tourists join us. The pick up location was perfect, while we were staying at the Driskil Hotel downtown Austin. We got to hear from fun tales of the city and learned what "Keep Austin Weird" means. Our guides were knowledgeable of the area and talented with a guitar. Recommended!

You have to do this tour! - This tour was so much fun! Danielle was a great driver with such fun tidbits about Austin’s history. Lucinda added the perfect touch with her festive songs also about Austin’s history. Loved them both, highly recommend this tour.

A fun way to orient in Austin - I had a great time on this eclectic tour, which provided a great overview of Austin history, lore, culture, and current events. The tour took us all around the city, including places you'd expect on any Austin tour, along with some more off-the-beaten-path parts of town. We got off at a couple of stops for some quick activities, which added to the whole experience. Our guide, PP, was very entertaining, knowledgeable, and affable, and our on-board musician Dan provided a nice blend of classic tunes and fun parodies. While the $60 price tag felt a little steep, I'm glad I took this tour. I'd recommend taking it early during your visit to Austin to get a lay of the land and make notes of where you might like to return later.
