I was the only one on the tour, so my guide Owen and I could just talk about whatever. We talked a lot about Austin/Texas history and culture, and we went and got food from a lot of places in Austin I had never seen. Great perspective on a great city.

Dipali_S

I was looking for something fun to do when my friend came into town, and this ended up being perfect for us both. Our tour guide Owen was amazing- knowledgeable, kind, funny and made the experience well worth it. The walk was easy going, stops were fun and food was amazing.

This tour was great - Owen did a great job, took things at our pace, and told us a lot about the history of Austin during our tour. We not only got to try out some different tacos, but we also got to stop at some unique spots and hear the history behind them. Despite the unexpectedly cold weather, we are very glad to have spent time in this tour. Would recommend.

Mackenzie_S

Tasty tacos; interesting history. Best tacos - first stop. Potentially avoid heat of day during hot summer months.

Denise_V

Mike gave us a great tour of the area. We had fantastic stops. We enjoyed Taco One. When all of a sudden we were faced with extreme weather, Mike was quick to get us under cover and made the appropriate choices.

Mike was fun and knew some great places to grab very tasty bites. The walk was not difficult in any way

G was an excellent guide and host. It was a beauty day and a fun tour. Saw a side of Austin that was really nice! Thanks for everything!!!

Marci_C

The taco locations were all very good and ending the tour at Voodoo Donut was definitely the icing on the cake!! Super fun way to see and experience the city.

Thanks for sending this survey. Just wanted to share that our confirmed paperwork stated that we should arrive at a particular location. Upon arrival and after parking, the tour guide (Mike) texted that we should meet at a different location ... that was 15 minutes away. We had arrived at the requested time, but then due to the change of addresses, we were late and it caused a great deal of stress. We would have appreciated a more coordinated process b/w the company and the tour guide. Additionally, our tour guide provided us only a high-level overview of the city but he didn't give us a thorough knowledge of Austin. We just expected more information, not just his preferences. Nice guy, very personable, but just not interested in his personal perspective. Thanks.

We had a great time with Mike, our guide, who gave us a great tour of Downtown Austin on our first day in town. He gave us some great stories of Austin's history, as well as filled us on present day Austin, telling us stories behind the murals, the Bats, SXSW and the architecture. He was friendly, knowledgeable and lucky for us, we had him all to ourselves that day! Mike's hospitality was top notch and he was excited about his job and happy to share his passion for people, Austin and food! The variety of places we stopped were so good! They were in different areas of downtown, which gave us a perfect layout of the city so we knew where we wanted to explore the rest of the trip and visit again for a meal. Thank you for a great time and full bellies!
