Overview

This small group tour is much like our award winning "Austin Small Group Morning Walk," but maybe even better! Like the morning walk, we cover Austin's must see favorites like the interior of the Driskill Hotel. However, the afternoon walk is slightly longer at 2 hours and has bonuses like: visiting Tito's Vodka retail/history shop on Lavaca Street, strolling the shores of Ladybird Lake Trail, and discovering the beauty of the iconic Rainey Street district. We'll even give you time to explore! This tour gives you the experience of how we would choose to spend the day as people who know and love the city. In short, you'll get great recommendations!

What's Included

  • 2 hour walking tour of dowtown Austin to explore it's history and culture
