Had so much fun on our tour with Jess! She is so knowledgeable about Austin history and current events. We greatly enjoyed each stop along the way. Amazing tacos and churros. Also ordered a few drinks. She had excellent recommendations for things to try during the remainder of our visit. We would definitely do another tour next time we’re in town.
Every taco was delicious. Our guide, Jess was interesting, friendly, and knowledgeable about everything Austin. Don’t miss this tour.
Jess really sounds like she brought Austin to life in a fun and engaging way, and it’s great to hear you enjoyed every taco along the route 🌮
Great food! Lots of walking which is perfect since you are eating a lot! Good information about the area. Mike was a great guide and very helpful!
Mike will be glad to hear this, and it’s great that the walking and local insights added to the experience.
The tour itself was great, enjoyed the different taco experiences. Food was good. The tour as described on the website was different as it started and ended at the same spot.

Our guide was Mike. He was great, he provided the history of Austin, he was friendly, outgoing and the places he selected for our tour was fantastic!!
Mike will be so happy to hear this! Thanks for the great feedback, and we hope to see you again in Austin soon!
Plenty of great food. Our tour guide Mike gave a good review of Austin. Glad we booked this one. Highly recommend.
Sounds like a tasty and fun day. We’re glad Mike gave you a great overview of Austin and that the food stops were a highlight. Happy you booked it and thanks for the recommendation 🍴
I really appreciated the Austin history through the tour. great guide, definitely take their recommendations! I never would have discovered some of these places on my own. 10/10
The guide was fantastic. The group was supposed to be small - around 4 and that morning he got informed he would having 12. He made it work (much to his credit and hard work with the restaurants) but it makes me question booking again with Viator.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and kind words about your guide, we’re so glad to hear he handled the unexpected group change with professionalism and care. We're glad he could make sure everyone still had a great time, and we’ll be sure to pass along your praise. We completely understand your concern about the group size.

We really appreciate your thoughts, our guest feedback always helps us improve. We're constantly looking for ways to improve tours and hope to have you back for an even better experience next time!
Mike was so informative, easy to listen to & friendly. The choices of different tacos were great. It was like being guided around with a friend.
Come hungry! Had a great time eating my way through town with Lynx. He was super engaging, knows Texas history extremely well, and helped me develop a new appreciation for Austin through great food and sights. This was a wonderful way to spend the day.
