5.00Tour 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.

4.00The 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.
