Austin City walking tour - This was our first visit to Austin and we only had one day. So this was the perfect tour to get a taste of the city. It was one of the best walking tours we’ve ever been on. Shout out to Tyler.

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.

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.
