Great non-stop drive around Austin and surrounds - We absolutely loved our 1.5 hour tour today. The minibus was very comfortable and our driver/guide was super friendly and engaging. We loved hearing interesting facts along our journey, and we really got a great feel for downtown Austin, and also a little bit of Hill Country.

Efficient way to get familiar with the City for first timers - The driver and tour guide (same person) is knowledgeable and nice. Within an hour and half, he introduced many necessary knowledge and fun facts about a city he loves so much and is passionate about. After that, we can explore cities based on our own interests and recommendations he made. Also, starting point is also a nice choice as Texas visitor center boasts decent gift shop and information brochures.
