Fun and full of energy - We love Jake’s knowledge and excitement for this tour. He is full of energy and genuinely loves to talk to people and about Austin‘s history. We finished at the Driskill Hotel, which was a lovely experience. Jake is great at storytelling and made this experience very enjoyable.

Entertaining Exploration of Local Scene - Our Downtown Austin Private Walk with Tyler was great. He is a deeply knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide. We enjoyed learning about many characters in Austins’s history while visiting several historical places. We experienced a lot of the local color and really appreciated how Tyler’s depth of knowledge allowed him to make quite a few recommendations on visit worthy restaurants and local attractions. During a lovely walk along the river, he shared some fascinating Austin lore. We also explored the local food truck scene and culminated our tour at the historic Driskill Hotel.

VIP treatment! History, hidden gems and fun! - Jake was our guide and he was wonderful! Made it interesting and entertaining at the same time. Learned a lot of history, and visited many one of a kind spots we would have never known about otherwise just walking around. He took good care of us and was very professional while also being fun. Loved it! Thanks Jake!! (Also wondered if he found my Raybands at any of the stops we made.)
