Great tour of Austin

We were lucky to only have us two on the tour with our tour guide so seemed private. He took us first into the Texas Capital building to tell us the historical background and show us inside interesting items. Then bus tour around Austin and out to Mount Bonnel for views of the city. We made a few small stops for food and rest breaks so not a rushed tour at all. We enjoyed seeing Austin since we are not locals. I highly recommend this tour.

Tour guide picked me up...

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.
