Austin's Afternoon Stroll
Beskrivning
Denna lilla gruppturné är ungefär som vår prisbelönta "Austin Small Group Morning Walk", men kanske ännu bättre! Liksom morgonpromenaden täcker vi Austins måste se favoriter som interiören på Driskill Hotel. Eftermiddagspromenaden är dock något längre med 2 timmar och har bonusar som: besök Titos Vodka-butik på Lavaca Street, promenera längs Ladybird Lake Trail och upptäck skönheten i den ikoniska stadsdelen Rainey Street. Vi ger dig även tid att utforska! Denna tur ger dig upplevelsen av hur vi skulle välja att tillbringa dagen som människor som känner och älskar staden. Kort sagt, du får bra rekommendationer!

Resplan
Din turné möter och avgår från Love, Tito's på historiska Lavaca St., centrala Austin. Denna pittoreska butik är den enda butiken för Austins enda Tito's Vodka! Nu en världsomspännande sensation, Tito's började här i Austin-området. De hjälpsamma och vänliga medarbetarna på Love, Tito's delar gärna med sig av både framgången och djupa rötter i Titos historia. Öppnar kl 11:00, detta är den perfekta platsen att börja vårt Austin-äventyr! Tyvärr, inga gratis Titos prover :)
Willies staty står stolt framför Moody Theatre och är en ikonisk representation av varför Austin är känd som "Live Music Capital of America". Förutom statyn finns det en gjuten bronskarta vid denna korsning som visar detaljer om "gamla Austin" och de omgivande vattenmassorna. Ett perfekt tillfälle att ge vår turné det rätta historiska sammanhanget!
Din privata Austin-vandring tar dig längs en naturskön del av Lady Bird Lake-vandringsleden. Bara en kort vacker promenad från Congress Ave.-bron, (alias Bat Bridge), till det historiska Rainey St. District. Längs din promenad kommer din guide att informera dig om allt från detaljer om de berömda Austin-fladdermössen till historien om Austin-pråmarna och färjorna före järnbroarnas ålder. Detta är ett underbart skuggigt tillägg till din turné med spektakulär utsikt över stadens silhuett och, naturligtvis, Lady Bird Lake. :-)
Rainey Street District är en av Austins bäst bevarade hemligheter! Det är en eklektisk kombination av skyhöga nya bostadsrätter och charmiga stugor och bungalower. Dessa pittoreska små bostäder brukade vara privata hem i Austin men fungerar nu som några av de finaste, och definitivt roligaste, restaurangerna och bryggerierna i staden! Medan du är i Rainey District kommer du att kunna ta en drink eller några fantastiska matbilar på "Stay Put Brewery". Detta är ett prisbelönt bryggeri med närliggande tillgång till några av de finaste lastbilar i staden!
Hemmet för den store amerikanska författaren William Sydney Porter, alias O'Henry, ligger nära hjärtat av centrum och är ett kort stopp för att erkänna O'Henrys historia och hans liv här i Austin på 1880-talet.
Bredvid O' Henrys hem ligger det tidigare hemmet för vår lokala hjälte, Susanna Dickinson, den ensamma överlevande från Alamo (1836). På denna plats berättar vi om Susannas tapperhet som inte bara överlevde Alamo, utan också lyckades rädda sin dotter Angelina!
På ditt vandrande äventyr i centrala Austin kommer du att uppleva två kvarter av den världsberömda "Dirty 6th Street"! Nästan alla skyltfönster på östra 6:e dateras till 1870- och 1880-talen. Våra informerade guider kommer säkert att peka ut de coolaste ställena för mat och, naturligtvis, livemusik!!
Driskill är ett magnifikt exempel på den förgyllda åldern i Austin. Detta vackra och historiska hotell har stått stolt i utkanten av East 6th sedan det stod färdigt 1886. Efter en rundtur i hotellets lobby är gäster som så väljer välkomna att köpa en drink i Driskill bar och grill. Ett perfekt sätt att avsluta din privata promenad i huvudstaden!

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
