Meet up with your interesting and inquisitive guide to scope out everything that’s cool in Austin, hitting all the hot spots and historical sites. Check out the bars and restaurants along lively 6th Street, admire the ornate façade of the 1886 Driskill Hotel, and see political landmarks like the Texas State Capitol and the elegant colonnaded Governor’s Mansion.

Scope out the Bullock Texas State History Museum, the Blanton Art Museum, the Harry Ransom Center—a massive library known for its collection of rare books and manuscripts—and the University of Texas stadium and campus. Take in the serene natural beauty of Lady Bird Lake, and ride across the Congress Avenue Bridge, which is home to the world’s largest urban colony of bats.

Drive on from site to site as you explore the city’s must-see landmarks, including the Greetings from Austin Postcard mural and the “I love you so much” graffiti, as well as some hidden locations that visitors might not normally find. Take it all in as you chat with your fellow travelers and guide. Learn about the city’s famous people, parks, history, food, and culture, seeing firsthand why locals care so much about keeping Austin weird. After all the sightseeing and laughter, sample some typical Texas cuisine at a favorite local food truck.
