Austin + Hill Country 90-minute tour: The Ultimate Austin Guide

This was my first Austin and Hill Country Tour. The tour guide did an excellent job of accommodating his guests and sharing little known facts. State Highway 165 is such a fact. It is the shortest or one of the shortest highways in Texas, flows through the Texas State Cemetery/Texas Arlington located in East Austin. Who knew!!

Kim was fun and add some local info to enhance the presentation. She made sure we were all comfortable and enjoyed the experience.

Kimberly does a great job accommodating the entire group. Her knowledge of Austin and surrounding areas were very helpful. I really enjoyed the local perspective to help us navigate the city.

Be on time, make sure you eat and use RR. Tour was nice, some recorded info & other added by driver. Super cool way to see main Austin spots fast, was able to take tons of pictures. Would def recommend this tour van.

Great overview of Austin. The tour guide was excellent. We would recommend this tour. The Mercedes Sprinter can was comfortable.

This is a good way to get an overview of Austin. The tour includes areas and sites that you can revisit in detail.

Tour guide was knowledgeable and personable. Great information, and added depth to our understanding of the city.

Great start to the trip. We saw lots of sights and it helped us decide where we wanted to go back to. Response pending

Great guide. Appreciated the overview of all the interesting highlights within Austin and hill country.

Very friendly driver with extra information that was pertinent to sites. Enjoyed just sitting back and getting history of Austin’s neighborhoods and city.

Great tour to see downtown Austin and Hill country with a knowledgeable guide. Gave us lots of ideas for day trips.

Very good overview of the city. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. 5 stars to the tour guide, Joel!

It's our first time In Austin and we had a great time! Our tour guide Ari did an amazing job. We learned and saw so much of the city! Great tour!

Our tour guide Ari was very enjoyable and gave great advice and insight about the city. What I loved most about this tour was that it gave us a chance to see not just downtown, but some of the hill country, suburbs, and other places that you otherwise would have never gotten to see if you were only spending your trip downtown. This was the PERFECT way to start our 4-day vacation in the city, and I would highly recommend it to anyone going to Austin as a tourist.

Great tour. Educational and fun. The tour guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. The transportation was clean and a great place to cool down on a hot day.

Ari was our tour guide. She was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She shared lots of extra information that enhanced our experience. We had a great time! I would definitely recommend this tour!

So happy we chose to take a tour while in Austin. Ari was our guide and provided facts and trivia and humor throughout the tour. The 90 minute tour time is perfect for busy tourists. And the prices for souvenirs at the Austin Visitor Center are great.

It was easy to book and the tour was on time. Ali was a terrific guide and I learned so much about Austin! Excellent experience!

Joel was fantastic. Tour gives great overview of City and hill country. We had short visit and this fit the bill. Mary was great with reservations and gave great information. Great job AO.

Very friendly driver with extra information that was pertinent to sites. Enjoyed just sitting back and getting history of Austin’s neighborhoods and city.

Awesome tour of Austin! Great tour great guide highly recommend.

Tour guide and his excellent presentation. We enjoyed all the sights he pointed out and the accompanying tape. The tour was interesting and gave us ideas of places we wanted to explore further.

I was in Austin for a weekend and this was a great way to see the City/Hill Country with the time I had. Our guide Joel was extremely knowledgeable of the area and gave a lot of interesting historical insight and suggestions on places to visit after the tour. The drive through the hill country was also wonderful, lots of amazing views of the hills and city in the distance.

We love these tours in every city we visit - this one was particularly fun, van very comfortable as it was hot in Austin even in March! Our guide was great, we all connected and had a lot of good conversation and saw so much of the city sites. Really got a good sense of the area and this helped us plan the rest of our sight seeing for our trip. Recommend it highly!

I and my family are happy that we took the city tour. The guide gave us a good insight into the vibrant Austin. Austin east west north and south all have their own distinct identity. Unfortunately we took this tour on the day of the return. I recommend this to be taken on the first day of your first time visit to Austin so that you can plan better. The tour made us leave Austin with a happy note.

"Loved the tour! Quick, prompt, quality. The bus is really new, clean, and the windows are also clean!!(most tour buses usually have dirty windows). Really sweet and knowledgeable guide, took her time to explain/tell information that was interesting for us. This is for sure the best way to see the city and the hills to get overall good understating of the area. We were very satisfied!

"Malina was such a SWEETIE!! She was so nice to my kids and family. I often tend to be a guy that is outgoing and cheerful and it’s tough to get others to match my energy but she was just as cheerful as i was. She went above and beyond for our family. the customer service is top notch, I was getting recommendations for places before the store even began by texting the number on their Website once I had booked a tour. They’re a company that value safety. I really appreciated the extra precautions they take on the kids wearing appropriate car seat equipment. It shows they’re truly caring people and want the best for the customers. I will def return again and bring my parents from Houston."

"Andrew was a great tour guide and pointed out very interesting places with good background on each area so we were able to get a great idea of what makes Austin the way it is with so many different areas that make it such a unique city!"

"If you are new to Austin and want an overview of the area, this is the tour to take. It is about 90 minutes long, and our tour guide Andrew was well-informed, friendly and interesting. The starting point of this tour is difficult because there is so much construction going on around the Visitors Center. Once we parked in the suggested pubic parking lot (only $5 flat fee) we walked around looking for the meeting place at the Visitors Center. I called the tour company and spoke to Mary, who was extremely friendly and helpful, and she led us to the spot. Thanks to Andrew and Mary for a very pleasant morning touring Austin."

"The tour was a great overview of Austin. The tour guide was knowledgeable about the area and although she had been driving all day, still treated my tour with great enthusiasm and was extremely pleasant. It is a difficult time to be in the tour business and I was just so appreciative they are still up and operating whilst taking the necessary precautions to not spread Covid with hand sanitizers, Temp readings and spraying down the buses. Five stars to the management team and thank you for being in the business of making memories. Hang in there!"

"I wish I could give this company more than 5 stars. The company owner reached out and helped us come up with a custom tour in the over 100* heat. While other tour companies are closed during Covid, we were able to have fun during our stay in Austin with our 2 tours in their luxurious air conditioned ride. If it were not for this tour company, we would have been sitting in our hotel our entire vacation. Thank you so much for your tour of Austin Texas."

"Instead of driving around, getting lost and not knowing the history or importance of the places we'd find, we took the tour to really hear and see the different parts of Austin. Andrew pointed out the highlights of each area. We were really glad we did the tour."

"Our first morning in Austin was cold and rainy so we decided to take a tour of the city so we could see where we wanted to come back to. Ari, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and it was good to see the Hill Country which we probably wouldn’t have seen otherwise. If you are looking for a way to see Austin and learn about its history, I highly recommend this tour!"

"My sister and I took the 90 minute tour to get an overview of Austin. We had 3 days to explore Austin and this was a great way to get the “lay of the land”. We took several suggestions from our tour guide, Andrew, including lunch at Franklin Barbecue, a visit to the amazing Library, a visit to Shady Grove, Rainey Street, Zilker Park and the spring fed pool. Fun times!"
