    Twisted Texas Tour delivers fun, laid-back Austin experiences that consistently win over visitors. The brunch bus tours get particular praise, with guides like Tex, Pimp, Hari, and "Big Daddy Bacon" earning shoutouts for their knowledge and humor. Live musicians on board take requests and add genuine entertainment value, while food stops serve tasty bites paired with unique drinks at each location. The vibe is clearly relaxed and jovial, with many reviewers mentioning they learned Austin insider tips and local history they didn't expect. A couple of things to keep in mind: one reviewer found a private tour disappointing, feeling it involved too much driving and personal commentary rather than structured sightseeing. Another noted that as a "food tour," portions were smaller than expected compared to dedicated culinary experiences. That said, the overwhelming majority had a blast and felt the tours struck the right balance of entertainment, education, and exploration. People book repeat tours, which says plenty about the quality. If you want an upbeat way to discover Austin's personality beyond typical tourist stops, this crew knows how to show you a good time.

    This tour was really great! I learned a lot about Austin that I did not even know. I am excited about the tip on getting Franklin's - can't wait to try that one! Our tour guide was really knowledgeable about the area and had lots of cool stories and information. Our musician was incredibly talented and it was fun having her tell us stories as well. The tour was a great length - I probably could have ridden around with them all day! From signing up through to being sent pictures after the tour was over, the process was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend this company if you want to see Austin in a new way :)
