What a great way to jump right into the music scene! - We had a great time! People at the busy venues were all so friendly and we made a couple friends. Even with a large scale event happening in town and numerous road closures, our guide and driver were able to get us easily to three amazing local venues with high quality musicians playing. No waiting in lines, or for music to start, just fun. Joey was knowledgeable and personable and our group all seemed to enjoy the evening and different experiences. Thanks again! We met local people later who were impressed and agreed with the chosen spots.

IKE - 4clubs in 1 night tour ! - Took a chance on this tour because we had limited time & wanted to see some live music . People make the difference IKE was A+ driver was perfect as well. Picked up in nice Sprinter so no driving worries. Great conversations & excellent local knowledge & stories. Went to three clubs, learned a bunch of history. Saw fantastic music . Could have stayed all night any of the clubs !

Fantastic night out! - Brent and Dave were a blast and we had a fantastic time. We visited 3 locations, each with a different type of music and vibe which was perfect for our group because each spot spoke to a different one of us. These were places we never would have found on our own. Dave was very knowledgeable about the local music scene and had great insight on the artists and bands playing. Highly recommend for a great time!!

Intro to Austin Music Scene - Ike was our guide on this intro to Austin music. With just 7 of us on this tour Ike asked each of us our favorite music genre and artists. He seemed to have a family member or at one time lived in each of the states where we were from. So he was very knowledgeable about each state and the music or musicians coming from those states. His vast experience in the music industry added to the tour as he provided background on each of the three musical stops and the musicians performing. Our driver Kendall handled getting us through very tight spaces as she dropped us off at each location. Excellent driver! I was so impressed by this tour because of Ike and Kendall. They both did everything possible to make this a memorable experience.

A great introduction to the Austin music scene - It's exactly as advertised. We got shuttle around in a Mercedes van, had VIP treatment on our first stop at one of the iconic venues we visited and heard a variety of good music throughout the evening. Just an enjoyable evening.

Totally enjoyable - We had a lot of fun in this tour that opens your eyes, ears and heart to the "Live music capital of the world"! Our guides, David and Jax, were fun, knowledgeable and updated about diverse music genres, and lead us to experience The Saxon Pub, great atmosphere, The Broken Spoke (where you can listen to or dance country too!), and the C-Boys, giving us a chance to experience a little sample of why Austin gets that motto.

Good local music - Great variety of local music. Tour guide and driver were very friendly and informative. They took us to 3 venues of 3 different genres of music. Although they had planned venues, they were willing to adapt plans to our likes. We stayed to listen to one set then moved on the the next site. I would recommend this tour for anyone trying to hear original music. It was a fun night.

Book with confidence! - A fantastic way to experience great live music in a small group, especially if you are not familiar with the recent music scene in Austin. Logistics are all handled and all you have to do is have fun! Luke provided safe and comfortable transportation, David provided educated hosting of the experience and easily finessed the itinerary. Highly recommend.

Advice for solo travellers - might not be for you - My review is only advice for solo travellers. I assumed the tour would be more of a group activity and good for a solo traveller. Unfortunately this wasn't my experience. Once we got to the venues the group is left to go their own way, which is great when you have friends with you but not so much when you're alone. I also mistakenly assumed we would be in venues where the tour operators might pre book tables for the group. Again, this wasn't the case and likely not really possible at most venues. The others on the tour seem to enjoy it. I left the tour early and ended up paying extra for a ride back to my hotel. A waste of money for me but definitely not for the others in the group id say.
