Austin Detours saved my day. I had booked another tour provider for one my one full day in Austin,…read moreand for the first time in my life, I was stood up. Scrambling at the very last minute, I scoured Trip Advisor for a similar experience, and found Austin Detours. The tour was about to start, so I ran (yes, ran) through the 90+ degree Texas heat to arrive on time. My guide, David, was incredible, very interesting to listen to, and took us all around Austin. I really felt like I attained a better understanding for the city. He even took our picture at different spots, and the sweet treat was delightful. The only thing I didn't love was that the elder couple on the tour with me rambled about their political leanings, which I didn't agree with at all and I struggled to keep my mouth shut, but David did such a good job of delicately leading them off the topic on multiple occasions. Their tour is super reasonably priced, a value, really. I'd recommend them to anyone visiting Austin for the first time.

Why in the hell do people not tip tour guides? I can see if they suck, or the trip sucked... but neither of these things were true about this trip. Shame on all of the tight people who were in this trip with us. And shame on you if you can't give a few bucks to your tour guide! (End bitch session) As most tours, what can make or break a tour is the guide. In this case, ours was great! I apologize that I can remember her name, but I did attach a picture. So if you get her, you'll be entertained, informed and happy when the tour is finished! On our vacation we also did a similar (but larger) trip in San Antonio, and this one (Austin) was way better. I'm sure the City of Austin would say it's because Austin is more interesting, which may be true! But I'll say the small group and fun guide made this the winner.

It was there that I wanted to propose to her. Secretly, I wanted Heidi to be the person. I knew my girlfriend would be more comfortable riding with a woman. Heidi was not only the only driver to respond, she was also enthusiastic to help. She cut out and sewed a secret banner that read "She Said Yes!" Totally her idea. She packed umbrellas that ended up being a lifesaver and provided a cooler to take drinks on the ride. She stayed in constant communication so I could coordinate the guest, kids, music, and photographer. She let me create a number of Spotify playlists to make the ride special. She hid the banner until after my (now fiance) said yes! It made for great photos and people treated us like we were on a parade float when we left the bridge to go to dinner. She let me come over with a friend to figure out how to use her 360 degree camera for the event. The footage is priceless! I can now watch her entire ride, see her reactions and everything that was going on as she rode. She made our engagement beyond memorable. I would emphatically say it was priceless. She entertained my fiancé's 4 year old son during pictures on the bridge and gave him a sticker. She decorated the entire cab especially for the event. I truly could not be happier with not just the service she provided but also how invested she was in our joy. She went above and beyond and I felt the fee she requested for her labor was beyond fair so I voluntarily paid extra. She did so much more work than just the two hours I reserved her for. If you're lucky enough to book Heidi for a ride you will not regret taking part in one of Austin's great treasures. Thank you Heidi! (And yes, SHE SAID YES!

The Quintessential Texas Hill Country Day Out!…read more If you're looking for the perfect blend of Texas hospitality, smoky BBQ, and scenic vineyard views, look no further than the Austin Detours Hill Country BBQ & Wine Shuttle. I recently took this tour in February, and it was the highlight of my weekend (as I'm a local). Whether you are a local hosting out-of-towners or looking for a professional team-building outing, Austin Detours provides a seamless, stress-free way to experience the best of Central Texas. 5/5 recommend! Our day started at the Austin Visitor Center where we met our driver, Luke, who was fantastic throughout the trip. We hopped into a comfortable Mercedes Sprinter van for a smooth 40-minute drive out to the hills. One of the best parts of these tours is the people you meet. Our group included travelers from Ontario and Brazil, and it was wonderful swapping stories about their first impressions of Texas while we cruised toward our first stop. We started strong at this legendary BBQ spot - The Salt Lick. After placing our orders for some of that famous fall-off-the-bone brisket, we took a quick walk over to Salt Lick Cellars to grab some wine. Pro tip: Salt Lick is BYO, so being able to grab a bottle right there to pair with the BBQ is a game changer. Next up was Driftwood Estate Winery which was pure relaxation. We grabbed a bottle, found a spot under a massive oak tree, and just took in the incredible Hill Country views. Our new international friends joined us after their tasting, and the conversation was just as good as the wine. Our final stop at Fall Creek Vineyards was originally meant for a formal tasting, but the interior was buzzing and a bit loud. Since the Texas weather was doing us a massive favor -- sunny and nearly 80°F in February! -- the group opted to buy a few bottles and head outside to the fire pit. It was the perfect way to wind down. The drive back to the Austin Visitor Center flew by. We were all chatting, sharing snacks, and enjoying a final beverage in the van. A few things to keep in mind: The $69 price is for the expert guide and transport. You'll want to budget about $35 for BBQ and $10-$25+ for wine tastings/bottles. The Vibe was incredibly flexible. Whether you want to do a formal tasting or just split a bottle by a firepit with new friends, the pace is up to you.
