Fun and history! - A fun, informative tour of Austin. Jake had lots of great stories and places to see and experience. Interesting secretive bars to try while hearing about Austin history. This was a substitute for me but I was not disappointed. Really enjoyed the tour and the guide. Definitely recommend it.

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.

Great walk, no food or drinks - This was an absolutely fantastic tour (5 Stars!) My teenage kids and I had a fantastic time. The only reason I rate this a 3 is that it wasn't what we signed up for. The title of this tour was "Food, Drinks, and History." There were no food or drinks on the tour. We came hungry and left starving. I searched for a food tour when a booked this. It is easily a 5 star must do tour, just please change the name to Downtown Walking Tour and leave out the food and drinks.
