Austin City Tour: Experience Austin's Favorite Tour With Austin Detours

Austin’s favorite “bucket list tour” gives you a city overview in just 2 hours. Major landmarks, lesser-known gems that only a local would know about, real neighborhoods, and of course, the food trucks! This is definitely not a typical “van tour.” We drive in Mercedes vans, but you get out at many stops. Along the way, we’ll chat about art, music, culture, food, history, parks, famous people, and much more! We’ll also discover secret spots, hear funny stories, and decipher local legends. Make new memories and laugh a ton as we show you how we “Keep Austin Weird.” Finally, experience Austin, don’t just see it through a window!

Our Austin Public Tour is Only $45

Daily at 10:30 am and 1:30 pm

Please contact us if you’d like to book this tour privately!

We did the Real Austin Tour and had the BEST EVER tour guide, Bobby. He was hilarious and an all-around interesting guy. He gave us tons of information and even bought us ice cream at a food truck park. We did this tour on our first day, and it gave us a little taste of several famous sights, which helped us plan the rest of our trip around the places we wanted to revisit.

My husband and I were in Austin from Virginia for our son’s UT MBA graduation. The 2 hour “Real Austin Tour” was the perfect overview. Our tour guide, Steven, was both informative and entertaining. We road in a comfortable Mercedes van and thoughtfully were offered complimentary bottles of water. At several stops our group hopped out to tour The State Capitol, Graffiti Park, and for a photo opp at a mural. Highly recommend for anyone wanting fun facts on Austin’s history and culture.

Just spent 2 hours on the Real Austin tour with our musician/tour guide, Jason. Jason was fabulous! And the tour took us to several cool places in Austin we didn’t know existed, like the HOPE graffiti park. Jason is passionate about Austin and shared with us tons of interesting info on Austin history, culture, and the music scene. I am a tour junkie, and this was one of the best tours we have ever taken. The tour was well designed and packed everything possible into 2 hours. And, it is evident that these people know how to run a business!

The Real Austin Tour” with Sunny was a great experience for me. Not only was the tour well-planned to include major landmarks and charming Austin spots, but everyone got to get out of the bus to taste, smell, and see these gems. By the end of this tour, I really felt like I knew the highlights of Austin and had gotten a feeling for its funky character. And I could not have asked for a better tour guide than Sunny – he was considerate to all of the passengers, organized, and obviously loves what he does!! Take this tour and request Sunny – you will not be disappointed!

So let me begin by saying that I have lived in Austin for 17+ years and have been only on one of these type of tours, and I know a little about Austin as well. My brother and friend came for a visit and we decided to take the Real Austin tour form this company. They did NOT disappoint. They hit a variety of locations, murals, neighborhoods, and had plenty of knowledge. We even got to stop by for a snack at a local food truck… bonus. I even learned some stuff. If you’re looking for a fun, quick, small, and an overview of the city…this is it. I can’t wait to do another tour from this company.
