Not the best tour on Lake Austin

It was a great day for the boat ride but highly disappointed that the tour guide did not provide time for a swim as described. Instead we stopped midpoint to drop off and pick up others taking away from our allotted time.

Excursion in austin

Man hands down the best experience in the lake. I have never seen little Italy and it was very impressive. If you are going to book the this excursion be sure to ask for Captain Tom. He’s the best at what he does.

2 hour boat ride

Very accommodating to our schedule as the weather was a bit off and on with the rain. In the end, we got to enjoy the 2 hour ride and it was fantastic!
