“Had a great tour today. I can’t remember the guide’s name but she was great! Very knowledgeable and had some good recommendations and ideas for things to do in Austin. I initially thought the tour time seemed short but we saw so much in that time so the tour was perfect. This was a good way to spend Monday after being at F1 at the weekend”
