Tour guide picked me up from my hotel and come to find out I was the only one so it was like a private tour! The tour is a great way to see Austin over a greater distance and learn some very interesting history. The stop for a dessert at the vegan vegetarian oasis Casa de Luz was an added bonus.
Touring the Capitol
What an amazing way to experience and see the city of Austin! Our tour guide Tyler was great and very informative about the Capitol, the buildings and the history of Texas! I could have never gone to these places on my own so this is the way to see it! Highly recommend :)
