Great little tour of Austin
This was a great little tour of Austin. Our tour guide, Trace, was amazing and very knowledgeable about the history, geography, music and food spots!! You meet at the Visitors Center where you can get coffee and drinks and use the restroom before you head out. The van ride was very comfortable.
Traveling Through Austin with Trace
This was an extremely good overview of Austin. Trace Holt, our tour guide, was engaging, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the various neighborhoods, eating establishments (can you say barbeque?!) and the live music scene. This tour was slightly more than 2 hours and packed so much into that time, including a stop inside the state capitol. Also, it's easy to join as the tour starts and ends at the Austin Visitor Center on 5th. Would most definitely recommend this tour!
Family in Austin
Great overview of city! Evan is fantastic as a guide, historian and driver! Evan offers many suggestions of places to visit, things to do and possible eateries. Excellent way to spend 2 hours in Austin. Suggest you take the tour the first day in Austin so you can visit some of the suggestions.
