Good music + history tour - Vic was a great tour guide and was super for coming out on a very hot Friday morning when I was the only one who had booked! He was very knowledgeable about Austin's music scene and gave me a great overview of the history of how everything has evolved over the past 50+ years.

I thought I knew everything about this city. I was wrong. - As a local I like to keep learning about this city. I like to think I know more than most about the history of Austin’s music scene but I was quite pleased with what I learned and being able to ask questions and get answers. Seriously. That includes things on my own block and things happening at my own job I didn’t know were happening. I didn’t know I worked that night until Vic told me what show was there. I then pulled up my schedule and realized I worked just an hour after the tour ended.

Great Austinmusic tour - Our tour guide, Vic, was great! Loved how he integrated great music with the stories about famous musicians and venues. Really cool to see the stomping grounds of so many famous musicians.
