We had plenty of time to see them waking up, hearing them before they came out, and seeing them under the bridge after the initial awakening. Our tour guide took plenty of time and updated us regularly. She was amazing. The boat is fine. It is plastic seats, but it does what is needed with a great open concept to allow views of Austin! Bring a drink and enjoy the bats.

I've gotten to do the Austin Segway Tour with Gliding Revolution on two separate occasions…read more Let's get these FAQs answered first: Yes, it was voluntary. (Both for work functions/team building activities) Yes, I did feel as ridiculous as I looked. Yes, I had a ball doing it. Yes, I'd do it again. Shay and Juan were both incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They take the time to discuss some fun facts and interesting Texas history. For example - anyone know the story on moontowers? I enjoyed zooming past the Texas State Capitol and whisking through Rainey Street. Two pointers - lather up on the sunscreen and be sure to pay attention. Especially in such a large group, you can miss warning signs.

The day way fairly cloudy and misty but it cleared up some late in the day. Despite some issues with the taxiway and runway lights (which were the airport's issue and clearly not something Austin Biplane could be faulted for) and a cloudy breezy weather, it was a great flight! Rob pointed out all of the landmarks as we went along and got us in a good position to see the sunset as it peaked through the clouds. Despite the weather, he did a great job keeping the flight fairly smooth. As a retired USAF member I totally appreciated that Rob served in the USAF as a pilot. It was only about 60 degrees when we took off, but Rob was absolutely correct when he said we wouldn't need jackets - the heat from the engine kept the temperature perfect - not hot and not cold - glad we listened! All in all - we had a great time and I'd recommend Austin Biplane to anyone who is looking to do something totally different for an occasion!

My husband and I met up with 2 other couples and had a whirlwind of a time for the next 1.5 hrs. We were in Leo's cab, his wife had her own cab, and Caleb was the leader of the tour in another cab. We got a wonderful perspective of Austin while getting out pictures taken for unforgettable memories. Leo was charming and entertained us with tidbits of information about life in Austin. Once the tour was done, Leonardo was kind enough to bike us back to this park so we could walk across and get lunch at Terry Black's. I highly recommend this tour!

Anytime you're doing downtown things you'll normally have to pay for parking. We opted for the nearest parking, which was the Hyatt Regency lot that is the suggested and closest one described on the tour website. From there it's a short walk to the dock to board through the hotel lobby and bar area. The captain was great and funny. The whole tour lasted about an hour and we got a view of the bats leaving the fridge from below and an informative tour while waiting. The price is reasonable for the experience and it's a cool sight for tourists. I'd definitely recommend it!

An authentic Austin experience with true Southern hospitality!…read more We had such a great time exploring Austin's live music scene with Jax, our tour guide, and Brad, our designated driver. From the moment we started, they made us feel welcome and gave us a fun, relaxed way to experience the local Austin that you don't always find on your own. We went from honky tonks to some seriously cool Southern California surf music, experiencing different venues, sounds, and personalities along the way. Jax extremely knowledgeable, personable, and clearly passionate about Austin and its music culture. And having Brad behind the wheel made the entire evening easy and stress-free we could enjoy the music, the atmosphere, and the experience without worrying about getting from one venue to the next. What really stood out was the genuine Southern hospitality from both of them. The bus drive interactions between all the passengers discussing favorite concerts was a good ice breaker. They made the tour feel less like a typical sightseeing experience and more like being shown around Austin by friends who know all the good spots. If you want to get beyond the typical tourist experience and discover what makes Austin the Live Music Capital of the World, I highly recommend Austin Detours. Thank you, Jax and Brad, for an unforgettable night!

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.

Our tour guide was really nice and friendly. Our group consisted of just the three of us so it was essentially a private tour. It was in a comfortable enclosed van so we didn't have to worry about any of the outdoor elements. We got some history and insights of the city, a nice comfortable ride, and were able to get out and stretch our legs. If you prefer a more traditional tour, this is an excellent option.
