Top 10 Private Tours in Austin, Texas (TX)

April 15, 2022 Sachiko Swiger

Every year thousands of hipsters, groupies, and die-hard fans flock to Austin for the annual South by Southwest festival, which has catapulted the Texas city up the must-visit charts for many travelers. The sandstone Capitol building is symbolic of the Lone Star State’s "bigger is better" mentality, featuring a gorgeous whispering gallery rotunda and 22 acres of grounds. Cool off with a dip in Barton Springs, a huge natural limestone pool that’s fed by underground sources.

Honestly I didn’t expect this boat ride to be so nice! I have visited Austin before but never got to see the beautiful houses by the lake, also the water is very clean and you can easily swim in it, Ronaldo our captain was awesome!! He made sure to give us a very pleasant experience, he took our family pictures, he let us put our favorite music and even let us drive the boat for a few minutes! ???? the whole experience was very relaxing and fun, I’d definitely recommend wake riderz to all my friends and family members visiting Austin!

Eat like an Local. From locally beloved happy hours to out-of-the-way bites, our guides keep up with Austin's ever-changing food scene. We cut out the guesswork and take you to the new and hip as well as the classic favorites. Have a dietary restriction? No problem! In fact, its our specialty! You may choose to pay for your own food or we can handle all of that for you. Our food style is family style, our guides know which dishes are the best at each stop, no tiny pods of individual portions of just 1 item but instead we like to give a sampling of each stops menu to give you a taste in case you would like to come back and order more! You will not go away hungry! And the best part is we get to ride e-bikes and see Austins local scene at the same time!

Inclusions: Use of bicycle, Lunch, Dinner, Helmet for safety, Breakfast

Exclusions: Gratuities, Alcoholic Beverages

Each Pedicab can carry passengers (age 7 and older). Children under age 7 can sit in a lap. All of our pedicabs are motorized, allowing us to travel up to 15 mph. Fast enough to get where we need to go, but slow enough to take in all the sights. The Pedicab drivers are all licensed chauffeurs, so you can drink alcoholic beverages as a passenger. Just no glass bottles and the drivers cannot provide the beverages to you (you have to purchase alcohol from a store or restaurant).

Inclusions: Private transportation

Exclusions: Drivers cannot provide or purchase alcohol for passengers.
