    The guides absolutely make these tours special. David, Trace, Connor, Joey, and Luke all get enthusiastic shoutouts for being knowledgeable, funny, and going beyond basic tour guide duties. They remember to accommodate motion sickness, suggest taco spots you'd never find on your own, and somehow know what you need before you ask. People mention feeling welcomed and comfortable right away, which isn't always easy when you're stuffed in a van with strangers. The tours themselves hit the highlights efficiently. You'll cover a lot of Austin ground in just a couple hours, with stops at places like the Capitol and street murals where you actually get out to explore. The wine and BBQ tours seem particularly popular, hitting spots like Salt Lick, Driftwood Estate Winery, and Duchman. The vans are clean and air-conditioned, which matters when you're touring Texas. Groups stay manageable at around 10 people, striking that sweet spot where it feels social but not chaotic. The consistent five-star feedback and repeat mentions of specific guides suggest this outfit delivers reliably good experiences.

    Our tour guide Ike was incredible!!!! He was super funny, told dad jokes, very informative, and super friendly. Me and my family wanted to see a lot of things in Austin and he took the time to make sure we saw what we wanted to see. In fact we went over our tour time by 15 minutes so we got to see a lot of the things we wanted too. He also treated us to cookies! At the end of our tour he played happy birthday for me and my brother on his pocket trumpet even though our birthday is in December. Thank you Ike and Austin Detours for an incredible experience! I cannot recommend taking one of these tours enough. It is so much fun!!!!!
