The instructions for the meeting place, upon arrival the building was boarded up. The tour guide didn’t seem open to questions and when she did answer she didn’t have good answers. During the time the recorded message wasn’t playing, she didn’t provided stories, insights, facts or history. She was a great driver!

Hi Sherronda,
Thank you for the feedback. We're disappointed that you didn't get our typical experience. We've reached out to our guide to understand why this happened and will take steps to prevent this from happening in the future. We'd love to make it up to you. If you're still in town (or if you come back to Austin in the future), please reach so we can either comp you for a tour of equal value or we can give you a discount for one of our other premium tours.

This tour was a basic overview of the area. We did not stop to take any pictures. The narrative was not done by the driver, but was taped. The driver was able to give some additional information, but not much. The tour met our needs, but we would have liked to get out in the hill country .
Response from Host , Mar 2020
Doreen,
Thank you for your candidness, I apologize that you did not get the experience you were looking for during our 90 minute Austin + Hill Country tour. We pride ourselves on the fact that we cover 30+ miles in 90 minutes, allowing our guests to see 50+ iconic locations in/around Austin.
We do offer a 2.5 hour tour, our Authentic Austin Tour, that allows time for stops at locations in/around Austin as well as Texas Hill Country. The experiences offered during this tour is unlike anything else currently being offered in Austin.
Please let us know the next time you are in Austin, we would love to have you join us for our Authentic tour so that you can stop to capture those enviable photos of your experiences!
Warmest regards,
WB
