Austin's Afternoon Stroll
Descrizione
Questo tour per piccoli gruppi è molto simile al nostro premiato "Austin Small Group Morning Walk", ma forse anche meglio! Come la passeggiata mattutina, copriamo i luoghi preferiti di Austin come l'interno del Driskill Hotel. Tuttavia, la passeggiata pomeridiana è leggermente più lunga di 2 ore e ha bonus come: visitare il negozio di vendita al dettaglio/storica di Vodka di Tito in Lavaca Street, passeggiare sulle rive del Ladybird Lake Trail e scoprire la bellezza dell'iconico quartiere di Rainey Street. Ti daremo anche il tempo di esplorare! Questo tour ti dà l'esperienza di come sceglieremmo di trascorrere la giornata come persone che conoscono e amano la città. In breve, otterrai ottimi consigli!
Opzioni tour
Itinerario
Il tuo tour incontra e parte da Love, Tito's sulla storica Lavaca St., nel centro di Austin. Questo caratteristico negozio al dettaglio è l'unico punto vendita al dettaglio per l'unica e unica Tito's Vodka di Austin! Ora una sensazione mondiale, Tito ha iniziato proprio qui nella zona di Austin. I dipendenti disponibili e amichevoli di Love, Tito's sono felici di condividere sia il successo che le radici profonde della storia di Tito. Apertura alle 11:00, questo è il posto perfetto per iniziare la nostra avventura ad Austin! Siamo spiacenti, nessun campione gratuito di Tito :)
In piedi con orgoglio di fronte al Moody Theatre, la statua di Willie è una rappresentazione iconica del motivo per cui Austin è conosciuta come la "Live Music Capital of America". Oltre alla statua, a questo incrocio c'è una mappa in bronzo fuso che mostra i dettagli della "vecchia Austin" e dei corpi idrici circostanti. Un'occasione perfetta per dare al nostro tour il giusto contesto storico!
La tua passeggiata privata ad Austin ti porta lungo una sezione panoramica del sentiero escursionistico Lady Bird Lake. Solo una breve passeggiata dal ponte Congress Ave., (alias Bat Bridge), allo storico quartiere di Rainey Street. Durante la tua passeggiata, la tua guida ti informerà su tutto, dai dettagli dei famosi pipistrelli di Austin alla storia delle chiatte e dei traghetti di Austin prima dell'età dei ponti di ferro. Questa è una meravigliosa aggiunta ombreggiata al tuo tour con viste spettacolari sullo skyline della città e, naturalmente, Lady Bird Lake. :-)
Il distretto di Rainey Street è uno dei segreti meglio custoditi di Austin! È una combinazione eclettica di nuovi condomini in ascesa e affascinanti cottage e bungalow. Queste piccole abitazioni pittoresche erano case private ad Austin, ma ora servono come alcuni dei ristoranti e birrerie più raffinati e sicuramente più divertenti della città! Mentre sei nel distretto di Rainey, potrai prendere un drink o mangiare un ottimo cibo da camion al "Stay Put Brewery". Questo è un premiato birrificio con accesso nelle vicinanze ad alcuni dei migliori camion della città!
La casa del grande autore americano, William Sydney Porter, alias O'Henry, si trova vicino al cuore del centro ed è una breve sosta per riconoscere la storia di O'Henry e la sua vita qui ad Austin nel 1880.
Accanto alla casa di O'Henry si trova l'ex casa del nostro eroe locale, Susanna Dickinson, l'unica sopravvissuta di Alamo (1836). In questo punto, raccontiamo il coraggio di Susanna che non solo è sopravvissuta ad Alamo, ma è riuscita anche a salvare sua figlia Angelina!
Durante la tua avventura a piedi nel centro di Austin, sperimenterai due isolati della famosa "Dirty 6th Street"! Quasi tutte le vetrine del 6° est risalgono agli anni 1870 e 1880. Le nostre guide informate ti indicheranno sicuramente i posti più interessanti per il cibo e, naturalmente, la musica dal vivo!!
Il Driskill è un magnifico esempio dell'età dell'oro ad Austin. Questo bellissimo e storico hotel si erge con orgoglio ai margini della East 6th sin dal suo completamento nel 1886. Dopo un tour della hall dell'hotel, gli ospiti che lo desiderano possono acquistare un drink al Driskill bar and grill. Un modo perfetto per concludere la tua passeggiata privata nella 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
