On a recent trip to Austin to visit my daughter, we went on a four hour wine tasting tour. The host, Max, made the event very entertaining. Within minutes of boarding the shuttle bus, all ten passengers became instant friends. Max was fun, informative and kept us laughing throughout the tour. I highly recommend this tour!

Our four person girl-trip entourage enjoyed both the music crawl tour with Kendalyn and the car tour with Jessie.

The music crawl is worth the price alone for the convenience. You are transported safely in a nice van to three awesome Austin music locations and all the cover charges are already paid for. It’s easy, convenient, and they choose the venues based on the artists who are scheduled to perform on that particular day. Because of the nature of the tour, you quickly make friends with the strangers who are along for the ride with you…It was a fun time! Kendalyn, our guide, was so sweet and friendly, immediately remembered all our names, and treated us all like we were long lost friends.

The car tour was equally great and, frankly, essential to getting your bearings in Austin, as everything is so spread out. Unfortunately we took this tour on the last day of our trip…don’t make the same mistake we did! Jessie, our guide, was very creative, bright, knowledgeable, and diplomatic. There was no question she couldn’t answer and she was also hilarious and quick on her feet.

This is honestly one of the best tour companies I’ve used in my many travels because of the quality of the guides.

We took “The Real Austin Tour” which was a great way to orient us to Austin. Our leader, Avery, made the tour enjoyable and informative. Definitely recommend this to people who want to get an overview of the city landmarks, local food and music.

We enjoyed this tour so much! Marty was our guide and from the moment we checked in he was friendly, outgoing, and had a great sense of humor!. We had a group of 9 people on the tour and he did a great job having everyone open up and get acquainted with each other. Marty was great and gave us fun facts on the drive and lots of information about Texas wine region and background of Salt Lick BBQ. First stop was Salt Lick BBQ and the burnt end brisket did not disappoint. Next we went to Fall Creek Winery and enjoyed a tasting, followed by another tasting at the nearby Tuscan themed Duchman. I enjoyed the BBQ, wine, and company on the tour, especially our guide Marty.

Austin Detours created a custom 4-hour tour for our work team of 8. Kyla was very responsive and made the planning process smooth and easy, recommending the best highlights of street art, food, and music. On tour day, our guide Marty arrived early and wanted to know a little about our team to provide the best experience. Marty was incredible! Engaging, funny, knowledgeable, and flexible. We hated to see him leave at the end. When we return to Austin we look forward to using Austin Detours again and, although I'm sure all the tour guides are great, we hope to have Marty join us again!

My husband and I did the Food Truck tour with another couple and it was SO good. I can’t say enough about our tour guide Jason and his wealth of knowledge about the Austin area. It was pouring rain the day of our tour, but he brought umbrellas and always gave options to stay drier. He also thought ahead to get us covered spaces when we were going to be outside. One of the venues was unusually crowded when we arrived, so he quickly pivoted and took us to another place that was amazing. At each location, one (or all) of us commented, “That’s the best (blank) I’ve ever had”. He also drive past many of Austin’s iconic murals and explained their history. We would take another of Austin Detours tour in a heartbeat. Thanks to the whole crew at AD!!

Our company needed an activity that was fun and took us around to see sites in Austin and the scavenger hunt delivered! We had a blast doing fun challenges on the bus and around Austin and Austin detours found us a fantastic TexMex restaurant for dinner. We couldn't have asked for a better time and loved every minute!

We booked the tour to the Texas Hill Country - Salt Lick BBQ and two wineries. Our guide Trace was knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely interested in making the most of the experience for his guests.
He knew everyone’s names on the tour bus, made great recommendations, and based on getting to know you, provided written recommendations for what you might like after the tour.
Salt Lick is our favorite, and adding the two wineries really helped us see what the Hill Country had to offer.
For the cost of an Uber one-way, we traveled safely in comfort for 4.5 hours.
We highly recommend this tour, and Trace, and will look to take another tour with him or a colleague on our next visit!

We did the Ultimate Austin Scavenger Hunt for a team building event and it was amazing! Each of the staff members was so much fun and they did a great job of mixing in some indoor activities to escape the heat. Our tour guide, Kandace, was hilarious and really kept everyone engaged. I would love to try some of their other experiences in the future. I think our entire group had a great time. Highly recommend!

What a great way to see the highlights of Austin in a day! Austin Detours created a fun and competitive teambuilding event for our department. Our guide Abel was extremely knowledgeable on lots of fun facts about the city and the tourist spots we visited. I highly recommend them.
