Great tour - John was such a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. He was so helpful answering all of my questions. I also saw tons of bats on the boat ride which was just amazing. Great tour! Make sure to ask for John as your guide.

JD picked us up at a... - JD picked us up at a local hotel and took us on a short driving tour (there was a lot of traffic so we skipped some stops on the way to ensure we got to the bat boat tour on time). Informative. And friendly. The bat boat tour was a highlight of our day in Austin. After, our guide made reservations for us at a local restaurant and dropped us there instead of back at the hotel. Fun evening.

Austin Tour - Our tour guide, John, was on time picking us up at our hotel. He was great fun and was a former high school Texas history teacher. He had a bunch of juicy backstories and we throughly enjoyed our time with him. The boat tour was also fun. We saw a great show by the bats and our very tall boat cruise director was charming and well informed.

Wonderful experience - The experience was wonderful, and the guide was perfect. He made the tour very informative and took great care to ensure we understood even though we didn't speak English well, translating for us using his mobile phone. Leer menos

Hire the Driver! He’s good!🚐🚐 - Some of the information was not clear but the driver was very prompt and made sure we were taken care of. His knowledge of Austin was good and our driving experience was good. He gave us a lot of good information and took us around some good places and I’m in Austinite, but I learned some things. Our driver was funny and fun. The other people in the group were friendly and we had a good time.

Meh. - Mike was very knowledgeable and told us about the dynamics of Austin culture. But the city tour was not really that impressive. We parked across from the capitol and heard some about it. Passed the bridges and parks. Drove up in the hills to see where the rich folks live and walked out to an overlook. We didn't see the mural. The boat part of the tour was provided by a separate company and there were a lot more people than seven. The boat and bats were wonderful - by far the best part and they are available separately for a significantly lower cost. Overall the city tour was not even nearly worth the cost. Better to Uber out and do a separate boat and bats tour.

Costly bad experience - It was unfortunate that we were rained out. We did take the “van” tour in which I was not impressed with. We didn’t get an opportunity to do the boat sunset cruise which I was excited about due to rain. It cost us $198 and we were only reimbursed $35:( that was a really low reimbursement. The guy couldn’t make it make sense.
