Great small group tour! Great recommendations and interesting, fun facts about Austin. Excellent tour guide! - The Small Group Driving Tour was perfect for my husband and I. Jax did a wonderful job of showing us points of interest, and included historic highlights and information about the area. She obviously loves Austin! She shared funny stories about famous people who live in Austin or have lived on Austin, along with great recommendations for music, and restaurants. The State Capital stop was excellent. Jax’s wit and humor along with her great knowledge of the area was much appreciated! The length of the tour was perfect for us. I would highly recommend this tour as well as Jax as your guide!

Great way to acclimate to Austin! - We met up at Austin visitor center - they have paid parking - if you can find street parking- just feed the meter Our guide - Joey - was fun young man, guide by day, comedian by night He showed around the various neighborhoods and then to the State Capitol area, then on to a great bakery for a treat. It is a great way to spend a couple hour. Joey Suggested a BBQ joint - nearby and a few other places - Spot On We left the car parked and were able to enjoy Places walking area. The visitors center folks were very helpful as well
