The double decker bus tour is a must on your vacation to Austin! We learned so much about the history of the city. Wish we could have booked it earlier in the week as we did it on our last day. So glad we were able to take it though!

A very interesting 90 minute overview to start our visit to Austin. Interesting stories, good recommendations for restaurants and the driver did a good job avoiding low hanging branches!
