My husband really enjoyed this tour. The music venues we visited were amazing and definitely not ones we would have found ourselves. Trace and Dave our guide and driver were fantastic! I would highly recommend this tour!
A very enjoyable evening

We wanted to hear live music in Austin but had no idea where to go. This tour was the answer. We were picked up in a comfortable van at a major downtown hotel and driven by a very competent driver to three venues. Both the driver and the guide were very knowledgeable about music and were able to answer the many questions we had about the various Texas musicians we like. All three venues were well chosen with different music styles. I would highly recommend this tour. It was my favorite evening of the two weeks I spent in Texas!

Conner our guide was very informative and helpful, and very knowledgeable about the Austin music scene. The venues we visited were unique, although the performers were ok. Nice riding in the Mercedes van.
Excellent your with a passionate team for music.

Laid back the tour that seems to be centred around your genre tastes once your group is gathered and ready to load the chariot.
Great experience for a solo traveler

I was in Austin on my own and joined in on this tour. It was the perfect way to get out and see what's going on in the Austin live music scene when I didn't know where to go. 100% recommend.
Book this fun tour!

Our guide had a total pulse on the local music scene, and driver made the ride fun as well. We learned a lot about the up and coming music scene, as well as historical and cultural aspects of Austin.

Dave was an excellent tour guide curating an excellent experience, sharing knowledge and making sure everyone was enjoying the night. Kelty drove very smoothly and safely---and showed off a little on the two-step dance floor...I had a great time and was able to see 3 very different musical performances in 3 very different venues. While I may not have liked all of the music, I know it was all well-performed/executed and a great introduction to the variety available in the "Live Music Capital of the World." Glad I had a day to explore after the tour as Dave also gave some guidance on a band to catch on my own that turned out pretty amazing and I was also able to check out a venue that we didn't go to during the music crawl. I would highly recommend this tour and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Do ALL their tours!

I did 3 tours with Austin Detours: the city tour, the wine shuttle, and the live music bar crawl. I loved all of them and I’d love to do the rest of the tours too! The tour guides were both super friendly, engaging, knowledgeable, and well-organized. The tours ran smoothly, stayed on time, and were informative. The guides always stick around afterwards to offer personalized recommendations to each guest, written down so you don’t forget. I’ve been on A LOT of tours and these were some of my favorites - don’t miss anything with Austin Detours!
