5/5
My son and I wanted to do something fun in the area and we ended up having a great time. The food was delicious, the scenery was nice and our tour guide Lynx was fun and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend 👌.

After confirming with 'Matt' in the morning of Sat 12 July, we showed up to our meeting point and waited for 10 minutes with no appearance of the guide. We then had to call Sight See Tours to find out what was going on - who then told us 'oh I think we had a message that the guide was sick' and after waiting for a significant time on hold to be told the tour wasn't happening. We were then told we had to call 'Get Your Guide' to get a refund, and were not offered an compensation or another tour or anything. I would avoid this business.

I was very disappointed with this tour. Our tour guide didn’t teach us a single thing about Austin. We paid over $500 to walk around to cheap taco restaurants where the tacos cost about $7 a piece. Our tour guide used her phone to gps us to each restaurant and did not set the pace for the day at all and we had to cut things short because the “last stop” was so far of a walk it would of set us over an hour and a half.

5/5
Bill was a very good guide and he imparted lots of little cultural tidbits about Austin as we worked our way through the taco tour. He engaged everyone in the conversations and asked for our input along the way. He is also a true character, you dig. Highly recommended

5/5
Bill was a great guide. Lots of tie bits about Austin social history and culture. Good food and lovely way to spend an afternoon.

5/5
We had a great time with Bill. He was fun and informative, but best of all he made the tour very personal by tailoring it to our interests. Highly recommend!
