Traveler reviews
The best way to see a bunch of music venues all in one night!
First - have to say that Joey Z was the best tour guide we have had in many cities we have visited. He was so light-hearted - got to know us a bit and our group to make the night the best experience. We visited 3 venues - all different. First was a honky tonk venue - we danced, order tacos from a food cart and next was a great small venue downtown with a great singer and dancing and wrapped up the night at a 3rd venue. Luke was a great professional driver also. Perfect 10 stars if I could. A must when visiting Austin.
👍🏻👍🏻
David and Evan were great! Very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. Would recommend for an evening of a variety of music in a clean, cool and smooth ride. :-)
Super fun night out
We had a blast on our pub crawl with David in Austin . He was a fun, friendly and knowledgeable guide and the clubs each priovided a different experience. We went to a honky tonk where we saw some great singing, dancing and fiddle playing, an upstairs blues club where we saw a fantastic guitarist with a soulful bluesy style and a funky R&B club with a great singer and band. Our group had a fun time together and our driver Luke was awesome and personable. We loved our pub crawl and would definitely recommend it.
Knowledgeable and Nice. Night out optimized
I’m glad we did the Austin Live Music Crawl. Getting the inside scoop on good places to go is worth the price of admission, especially if you want to get the most out of your visit by skipping potential duds. Easy way to get out of your comfort zone a little too.
Unexpectedly fun & interesting!!
Our group had never been on a music crawl and didn’t know what to expect. We all had a great time and agreed it was an interesting way to get introduced to Austin music history and experience where the locals go to listen to different genres. Early on in the evening a man, mounted on his horse, literally entered the club to listen to a live performance—weird and unforgettable! It was a good variety of music and length of the tour was great too. Jax is VERY knowledgeable and an exceptional Guide and David was very attentive and an awesome driver!
