Great tour
Great tour of the Capital building. Learned interesting facts about the building and stare of Texas. Joseph was very knowledgeable. He was also on time and accommodating for my friend who could not walk a lot. Also loved the authentic Mexican tacos he gave us. Great tour guide who made the trip even better.
Austin Drive tour
The guide was very good and a safe driver. I would have expected to see more over 3 hours. Seeing some homes was good but took up too much of the time. I would have liked to see more of UT Austin and maybe Ladybird Lake areas. French bakery was a good stop.
