Kelsie was an awesome tour guide. He’s personable and funny and knowledgeable. He also cares deeply about the safety of his guests Throughout the tour he provided the right mix of interesting stories about the history of Austin and its famous residents, ghosts, and things to do/places to visit in Austin. Seeing the bats was amazing and doing it on a Segway was very cool. I definitely recommend this tour.

I didn't enjoy the ghost stories. I thought they took too long and weren't very entertaining. Our guide was lovely and kind and the Segways are fun!

My wife and I with our 3 oldest Grand Children took the tour with Kelsie and had a blast, it was the highlight of our trip. Kelsie is the best, he made everyone feel comfortable and kept all of us safe and upright. If you don’t do anything else when your in Austin, definitely DO THIS!!

Kelsie gave a great tour,he was very knowledgeable able the city and clearly has a love of the city of Austin. He was very polite and respectful not only to us but the people we past on the street. He gave you plenty of time to get comfortable with the Segway before heading out. The only disappointment was the bats not leaving their young, so we didn't get to see the mass exit. We have no control over nature so I feel should not reduce in stars at all.
