Austin Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Definitely bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. And something to eat and drink. Operator supplies cold water. Remember, no restroom on board

Robin was so friendly! he was helpful, patient and knows fun facts. I'm glad we had him as our guide! On a different note I think the parking situation is ridiculous and I think it's un fair for the guides that work on certain nights, our parking shouldn't be more because of events that have nothing to do with what we are doing. Poor Robin had to start with people upset about that and that's not fair. He handled it very well, so extra respect for that!

Robin is great !!! Really informative and extremely knowledgeable. Definitely recommend..

Tom was an excellent guide! Will recommend to friends and family.

It was very interesting and the guide was great

It involves a couple miles of walking. Mostly flat but some people struggled with the hills and the heat. Will was a great tour guide who really seemed to enjoy the history and telling the story of the serial killer.

The guides were very knowledgeable & entertaining. They clearly have a love and vast experience in their city.

This is a gentle experience. The full experience was great. However tell people it is the Austin row club up front. You get dropped off in a sketchy place using only the address. It is right behind the 4 seasons.

Dylan and Nate were great and help us understand the motion of the boat and control and told us form where to look for

Fun and informative way to see the city. The driver and guide did an awesome job of navigating the city and keeping us engaged. I was with my husband but this would definitely be something safe and comfortable to do as a solo traveler as well.

We had an amazing time with our tour guide. 7:30 pm he killed it, we laughed, we got scared, it was fire.

Our guide was amazing. His storytelling was fun and exciting.

I had the best time at the Barton Springs Bike Rental & Tours e-bike tour. My guide, Toby, was very knowledgeable, safe, and funny. He is a true Austin native and had many insights into the Austin sights. The e-bikes were comfortable and in great condition. I highly recommend this tour.

I would highly recommend this tour. HANNAH are tour guide extremely knowledgeable very friendly on time. Made it a really really good experience.

Enjoyed it. The guide was knowledgeable and the sunset was beautiful. We learned much about the city.

The instructor was great and informative . It was my first time doing it and it was very pretty and a nice area.
