Tyler rocks - The city is fairly flat, so easily accessible for all. Tyler was full of knowledge about the city’s history and was readily prepared to share photos of buildings from historical time periods so we could view and compare the “back then” to “today” which brought a great perspective to the development of the city. Tyler stuck around after the scheduled tour to be a resource to answer questions and share recommendations of delicious eats (like Terry Blacks BBQ, which was hands down THE BEST). Thanks Tyler for kicking off our Austin visit!

Great Tour with Excellent Guide - A Great Tour of Austin With Shannon. I have been to Austin Previously but have never really delved into the City itself. Shannon was great in showing our group the off the Path Sights and History of the City of Austin, From Guytown to Congress Ave and the Driskoll Hotel. A great tour overall for those wanting to know the Local History and the Layout of Austin for First Time Visitors.

A fun tour brimming with information about Austin and Texas - Shannon was a fun and knowledgeable guide who walked us through the Austin historical spectrum: music, architecture, key figures, gritty stories, geography, Texas government, etc. Despite the rain she kept us fully engaged and showed us relevant historical photos on her iPad to illustrate key points. She’s lived in Austin her whole life so had deep first-hand knowledge and experience to share.

Morning walk- basically a private tour! Shout out to Tyler our guide - Cloudy and cool January day, so it was just my wife and I with our guide Tyler for the morning walking tour. He is an excellent guide. You can tell that he loves his town and he shares a lot of history, architecture, and interesting perspectives of how Austin is changing and how today's changes somewhat mirror the massive changes earlier in the city's evolution. I always enjoy walking tours early in visiting a new city. The guides often share some excellent ideas for eating, music, and things to see and Tyler came through for sure on that!

Good - She was informative and we enjoyed. We did hope there would be a little more to it, it ended in 1.5 hours which included a 15 minute break. It’s scheduled for approx 2 hours. Overall, informative and good information.
