Austin's Afternoon Stroll





Description
Cette visite en petit groupe est un peu comme notre primée « Austin Small Group Morning Walk », mais peut-être encore mieux! Comme la promenade du matin, nous couvrons Austin's must voir favoris comme l'intérieur de l'hôtel Driskill. Cependant, la promenade de l'après-midi est légèrement plus longue avec 2 heures et a des bonus comme: visiter le magasin de détail/histoire de Vodka de Tito sur Lavaca Street, flâner sur les rives du sentier du lac Ladybird, et découvrir la beauté du quartier emblématique de Rainey Street. Nous vous donnerons même le temps d'explorer! Cette visite vous donne l'expérience de la façon dont nous choisirions de passer la journée en tant que personnes qui connaissent et aiment la ville. En bref, vous obtiendrez de bonnes recommandations!

Itinéraire
Votre visite rencontre et part de Love, Tito's sur l'historique Lavaca St., au centre-ville d'Austin. Ce magasin de détail pittoresque est le seul point de vente de la seule et unique vodka Tito d'Austin ! Maintenant une sensation mondiale, Tito a commencé ici même dans la région d'Austin. Les employés serviables et amicaux de Love, Tito's sont heureux de partager à la fois le succès et les racines profondes de l'histoire de Tito. Ouverture à 11h00, c'est l'endroit idéal pour commencer notre aventure à Austin ! Désolé, pas d'échantillons gratuits de Tito :)
Se dressant fièrement devant le Moody Theatre, la statue de Willie est une représentation emblématique de la raison pour laquelle Austin est connue comme la "capitale américaine de la musique live". En plus de la statue, il y a une carte en bronze coulé à cette intersection qui montre les détails du "vieil Austin" et des plans d'eau environnants. Une occasion parfaite pour donner à notre visite le bon contexte historique !
Votre promenade privée à Austin vous emmène le long d'une section pittoresque du sentier de randonnée du lac Lady Bird. À une courte et belle promenade du pont de Congress Ave. (alias Bat Bridge) jusqu'au quartier historique de Rainey St.. Tout au long de votre promenade, votre guide vous informera sur tout, des détails des célèbres chauves-souris d'Austin à l'histoire des barges et des ferries d'Austin avant l'âge des ponts de fer. Ceci est un merveilleux ajout ombragé à votre visite avec des vues spectaculaires sur les toits de la ville et, bien sûr, sur le lac Lady Bird. :-)
Le Rainey Street District est l'un des secrets les mieux gardés d'Austin ! Il s'agit d'une combinaison éclectique de condominiums flambant neufs et de charmants cottages et bungalows. Ces petites habitations pittoresques étaient autrefois des maisons privées à Austin, mais font maintenant partie des restaurants et brasseries les plus raffinés et certainement les plus amusants de la ville ! Pendant votre séjour dans le district de Rainey, vous pourrez prendre un verre ou manger un bon repas dans un food truck à la "Stay Put Brewery". Il s'agit d'une brasserie primée avec un accès à proximité à certains des meilleurs plats de camion de la ville!
La maison du grand auteur américain, William Sydney Porter, alias O 'Henry, est située près du cœur du centre-ville et constitue un bref arrêt pour reconnaître l'histoire d'O 'Henry et sa vie ici à Austin dans les années 1880.
À côté de la maison O'Henry se trouve l'ancienne maison de notre héros local, Susanna Dickinson, la seule survivante de l'Alamo (1836). À cet endroit, nous racontons la bravoure de Susanna qui a non seulement survécu à l'Alamo, mais a également réussi à sauver sa fille Angelina !
Au cours de votre aventure à pied dans le centre-ville d'Austin, vous découvrirez deux pâtés de maisons de la célèbre "Dirty 6th Street" ! Presque toutes les vitrines du 6e est datent des années 1870 et 1880. Nos guides informés ne manqueront pas de vous indiquer les endroits les plus cool pour la nourriture et, bien sûr, la musique live !!
Le Driskill est un magnifique exemple de l'âge d'or d'Austin. Ce bel hôtel historique se dresse fièrement au bord d'East 6th depuis son achèvement en 1886. Après une visite du hall de l'hôtel, les clients qui le souhaitent sont invités à prendre un verre au bar-grill Driskill. Une façon idéale de terminer votre promenade privée dans la capitale !

It was a great activity to do the day you fly in to get familiar with the area and stretch your legs. Tyler our guide was great and knowledgeable! I would recommend:)
Thank you so much for your review, Tammy! We’re glad you enjoyed starting your trip with us and had a chance to stretch your legs while exploring the area. Tyler is thrilled to hear your kind words! We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on a future visit. Best regards, Walking Tours of Austin
They did not show up! Or reply to attempts to contact them. Terrible experience for my family from Boston.
We are truly sorry for the frustration this caused your family’s visit. We apologize again for the scheduling oversight — this is not the experience we want for any of our guests. As soon as we were made aware of the situation, we reached out immediately and processed a full refund. We understand how disappointing this was, especially during a trip, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. Warm regards, Walking Tours of Austin
We had a great time on this tour with Tyler as our tour guide. He was very informative and had some great tips. Highly recommend him!!! Thanks Tyler
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you enjoyed Afternoon Walk Austin with Tyler and appreciated his tips and insights. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him! Best regards, Walking Tours of Austin
Tyler was a great guide - informative, but in an approachable manner for teens and adults alike. We saw a good selection of Austin sights - both old and new and finished a lot more knowledgeable than we started. I would recommend.
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that Tyler struck the perfect balance—informative and approachable for all ages. It's wonderful that you walked away with a deeper appreciation for both Austin's history and its modern-day charm. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you on another walk soon! Warm regards, Walking Tours of Austin
Possibly one of the best tours I've been on in years. Tyler is a fantastic storyteller, giving a thorough deep-dive into the history of Austin. A lengthy, walking tour, but totally worth learning about the history of the city, while touring locations throughout the city. Meet-up point was easy to get to, there's a parking garage located next door, as well as a Starbucks on the corner across from Love, Tito's. There's food and drink options along the way, very cool way to experience a snapshot into Austin's downtown. Tour is safe, travel in an intimate group, and gave me a look into the city that exceeded my expectations. I definitely would love to come back and spend more time, but only had this 1 day to enjoy the city. p.s. bring water and wear comfortable walking shoes!
Thank you so much for your review! We love the passion that Tyler brings to each and every tour. We’re so glad you were able to join us and catch a behind-the-scenes. Look at Austin‘s history and some of our lesser known gems! Please come back and see us again soon! Best regards, Walking Tours of Austin
Two years ago we participated in a food and tour event in Mobile Alabama. That was a tour that included in the cost samples from a number of different restaurants in downtown Mobile We thought this was going to be a similar experience but it was different which was disappointing Perhaps we missed that when we read the material. Tyler did a good job showing us around downtown Austin
Thanks so much for your review! Yes, the “Downtown Austin Walk” is both described and designed to be an experience showing great lesser known spots to drink and eat and then pausing at those spots for any guests that wants to enjoy. We to tell the story of Austin and point out our favorite haunts . Where you enjoy is up to you :-) thanks again!
Great tour, enjoyed hearing the history of the city. Our guide did a good job. He spoke well and was easy to understand. Highly recommend.
We’re so glad you enjoyed your downtown private walk! This is one of our most popular tours, as we have an opportunity to not only to the history of this great city, but point out our favorite haunts to eat and drink. Where the guests stop is up to them :-) Best regards, Walking Tours of Austin
Our guide was full of historical knowledge which helped make the tour very enjoyable. Walking through the old neighborhoods and seeing the new skyscrapers in the background was a sight to see! Austin is a nice city to visit.
We are thrilled you enjoyed your downtown Austin walk! This is one of our most sought after tours, and one of the most fun! Thanks again :-) Best regards, WTA
Great tour of austin and our guide Tyler was exceptional!! Our family from out of town learned so much about austin. We will be back to do again with future company in town. There is no other place like austin and this tour made us appreciate the city even more.
Hi, Mike! We are so glad you enjoyed your tour with Tyler. He absolutely loves Austin and it is so obvious as he introduces guests to the great city! We are so glad you will be joining us again with future guests. Look forward to seeing you again soon! Best Regards, Walking Tours of Austin
My teenage son and I were the only ones on our afternoon walking tour with Tyler. He was friendly, knowledgeable, takes pride in Austin, and paced the tour just right for us. Our fave parts were the walk along the water (even though there was a lot of noisy construction all around), stepping into the historic Driscoll Hotel, and the most delicious hidden taco restaurant we would have never stumbled upon without Tyler (Taqueria de Diez). He answered all our questions, had some good stories, and made sure there wasn’t anything we still wanted to know about before the tour ended. We asked for an ice cream shop recommendation and he suggested Amy’s Ice Creams (where my son and I walked after our tour and it was another superb place!) Thank you, Tyler for an awesome Austin tour.
We’re so glad you got a private tour experience with Tyler! He’s a fantastic Tour Guide, and really knows his stuff when it comes to the history of Austin :-) we so appreciate you taking the time to leave a detailed review and we hope you can come back and see us again in the future! I will pass on your kind words to Tyler :-) Warm regards, Jim Miles, Owner Walking Tours of Austin
