Keep Austin Weird - take this tour! - Excellent tour! Pimp Piccadilly and Dan had a natural ability to get the group laughing and their sense of humor and musical approach kept us all engaged, and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed what they do. It wasn’t just about having fun. Piccadilly was super knowledgeable and passionate, striking the perfect balance between education and entertainment. They found comedic ways to bring history and culture to life without it ever feeling dry or boring. So fun!

Fun, funny and informative - This was my 1st trip to Austin and really didn't know much about the city, history, food or culture. The driver of the van was so informative and friendly. He did a great jo of showing us fun places to visit while in the city. There was also a singer that played guitar and took pics!

Fun tour! - What a great time with Blue Bonnet Benny and Lucinda Music. They were fun, informative and musically talented. Lots of good stops with photo ops along with a walk across the pedestrian bridge. AND a delicious ice cream stop! They were a lot of fun. Two thumbs up!

Great food trucks - Kip was very friendly and was great at giving us a heads up on all the stops and food. It was nice to see parts of Austin we would not normally go to. All the food trucks were really fun and definitely reflected the cool, laid back vibe of Austin. Downsides: the dessert was pretty mediocre. I’m sure there’s better options. Other food tours we’ve been on in different cities gave more of a history or background of the city and given the cost of this one, we expected the same. That wasn’t the case here.

3/5 stars - The bus was hot and the AC was not working properly. It was about 110 degrees outside. Would have been great if they had a cooler with bottles of water for everyone - other guests were asking for water. Dan the musician was great - has a nice voice and added a fun element to the ride. The disappointing part was that the tour is advertised from 1-330pm, and we ended early at 307pm. Left us feeling like we didn't get our full moneys worth. Would have been nice if we could have driven around South Congress more to add on some time, or stop at more than one of their famous murals around town for a photo opp.

If you have time to kill…. - Fun way to kill an hour but don’t expect too much! We had some time before our dinner reservations and decided to try this.

Knew we were coming - Left without Us - Didn't answer calls -- Didn't say where 2nd -3rd stop - We had trouble parking -- Austin half-marathon barriers -- but notified the tour driver that we'd be a few minutes late. He knew we were on our way. Even though we paid a lot of money, we totally understand that the guide cannot hold up the tour. We called 10 times so he could tell us where to meet at 2nd or 3rd stop. Didn't pick up or return call til tour was half over and too late for us to join. Wasted our afternoon and they provided a partial refund.
