Great time! - Kelty was great! Phenomenal tour guide – I enjoyed her knowledge about the region and Austin. Her advice about our stops, including tips for lunch and how to be successful and manage time at the wineries was super helpful. The Salt Lick was great – awesome food and the two wineries were fun! It was a perfect day!

Fun Family Tour - Our group had a great time. The bbq lunch was delicious and both wine tastings were planned ahead so no waiting even though there were 10 of us. It was lovely to be driven around with descriptions of area, history info and stories as we went.

Wine and bbq - This tour was really fun and educational about the area... our tour guide, Joey, was knowledge, interesting and entertaining. The Salt Lick BBQ food was wonderful . We highly recommend the brisket which melted in our mouth . It was also fun to see the big bbq spit where all the meat was BBQ’d. The driftwood winery had beautiful views. Both wineries had good wine and pretty grounds .. Joey made sure everyone had information they requested to satisfy other interests .. We highly recommend this tour.

Must do while visiting Austin - Joey was the guide and entertainment. He's very knowledgeable of the area and gives out great recommendations 👍. He's laid back and easy going and takes you to 3 great spots. He's like that funny DD when you need one.

Horrible. We texted them... - Horrible. We texted them 45 mins before to let them know that there was a car crash and we would be 10 mins late. They didn’t respond at all and we showed up 8 mins late. They already left. Responded over an hour later said they called me 4 times. I have no missed called why would I email them if they weren’t going to answers. I been with Viator for several years and this is the first time I’ve dealt with unprofessional people. Never again.
