A 90-minute Austin e-bike tour with a road captain, helmeted and easy to pedal. See iconic spots, hear local stories, then cruise back.

Double-decker Austin bus loop hits 6th Street, the Capitol, Driskill, UT sights, plus bats. Live guide, top-deck photos.
“It was a wonderful experience! I travelled so and found the driver, Lawrence and tour guide to be warm, knowledgeable, and welcoming. I secured a seat upstairs at the front of the bus. It felt like I had my own personal guide. The history was fun to learn. The sun was out, along with wind and some clouds. At the end of the trip, visiting the gift shop was an added bonus. I would recommend it as a solo adventure or to enjoy with family and friends.”
Half-day Austin shuttle to Salt Lick BBQ and two Texas Hill Country wineries. Small group, comfy A/C ride. Food and tastings cost extra.
“Very informative! Evan was fantastic and great with the group dynamic. The tour even went by some longhorn cattle.”

A small-group haunted walking history tour in Austin at night, with Driskill Hotel stops, Texas Capitol views, and Speakeasy interior access.
“Audrey was unprepared, distracted, and the story telling was rushed and lacked details and content. And after being late was short. Compared to other tours like Haha Haunting (something like that), this one can be skipped… I can go on with more details but you hopefully get it”
Pedal-assist e-bike tour of Austin parks, murals, South Congress skyline views, Congress Bridge bats, and Texas Capitol, 2-3 hours.
“We had a great tour with Jordan. Sunset timing was perfect for several amazing pictures around the town. We ended the tour at the bridge so we could watch the bats. This is a must do activity while visiting Austin. I would also recommend for locals as well.”
Guided bike tour through Austin highlights like Zilker Park, Lady Bird Lake, the Texas State Capitol, and Congress Avenue Bridge.
“David took great care of us even after we showed up late! He has a great sense of humor and made fun. We went to two wineries in Hill Country and Austin wine. Would have liked another winery vs Austin Wine.”

“This was one of our favorite experiences during our time in Austin, if not our favorite!! My husband and I had never been outdoor climbing before but Russell was an absolutely amazing guide/ coach and made us feel so comfortable and taught us so many different things that we will hold on to! He is so knowledgeable, helpful, encouraging, and patient! We not only learned how to rappel, climb, tie the rope, etc but also about the history of climbing in the area and other interesting facts!! By the time we left we felt like we had been climbing for years!”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
