I treated my 85 year old mother who has lived in Georgetown for a year to the Austin Double Decker and we loved it! She is not able to drive around town to tour and learn about the city and this was a perfect way for her to get that opportunity in a fun and safe environment. The driver was helpful in picking the best seats for us and the tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly and made the learning experience a great one. Thank you from a tourist in Spokane.

I had family visiting from the east coast and they were curious about Houston's cuisine. What better way to show of the amazing food in the city than on a food tour. All the restaurants and choices of food were phenomenal. We also got to visit the tunnel system which I had never been to or heard of and I have been in Houston for 15+ years. The food tour is ran so professional and unique. Our tour guided also took amazing covid precautions; from offering hand sanitizer at each spot and having the tables cleaned off with Clorox wipes. My family visiting also did Astroville's tunnel tour during the day and they loved it. We got send great photos of the tour after.

Kevin and Liz exceeded our expectations with their warm personality, adventurous attitude and fun vibes! The wife and I lived in San Antonio for 30+ years and learned more about the historical aspect of the city in 4 hours compared to all the years in grade school! In the midst of sight seeing through the city, Kevin and Liz made sure to connect with us personally. If you observed us during the tour, you could have predicted we were life long friends who just reconnected after not seeing each other for years! If you are looking for something unique, spontaneous and adventurous mixed with fun ~ than DO NOT think twice ... reserve a seat! HIGHLY recommend for couples or even someone trying to entertain a friend or family member for a day! I plan on bringing my two older kids next time and make it a family trip.

I did the nightly Ghost Walk and it was great! I feel like I learned so much about Austin, and there were a good mixture of stories from both past and present. A big group was supposed to go for my tour, but were unable to make it through no fault of their own, so I was the only one! It was like a private tour! Keely was my tour guide, and she was amazing! Very personable! It was fun exploring Austin and learning about some of its history! I recommend checking it out!
