About

  • Come enjoy a 2 hour bucket list tour throughout all the Austin landmarks!
  • Discover the lesser known gems that only a local would know about, real neighborhoods, and of course, the food trucks!
  • Major landmarks we visit are: Texas State Capitol, Greetings from Austin Postcard Mural, Austin East Side, food trucks and some other local gems.
  • This is definitely not a typical “van tour.” We drive in Mercedes vans, but you get out at many stops.
  • Really experience Austin, don’t just see it through a window!
