Full description

Welcome to our exclusive Best of Austin Tour with Tripshepherd, where you can experience the vibrant culture and breathtaking views of this amazing city. Our knowledgeable and friendly local guides will take you on a small group tour (max. 7 guests) in the comfort and style of one of our air-conditioned Mercedes Metris vans, ensuring that you get the best out of your Austin adventure.



Meet your guide at your downtown Austin hotel and begin your fully guided tour in the comfort and style of a Mercedes Metris van.



Your tour begins with a visit to the Texas Capitol - the seat of government for the state of Texas. This iconic Italian Renaissance Revival style building was constructed between 1882 and 1888 and is the sixth-tallest state capitol. Our guide will take you on a guided tour around the grounds, where you can admire the Heroes of Alamo, the Confederate Soldiers Monument, and the Volunteer Firemen Monument, among other notable monuments and statues.



Next, we'll take you to see some of the famous murals in Austin, including the "I love you so much" mural and the "Greetings from Austin" mural. These vibrant and colorful murals are an Instagrammer's paradise and have become iconic symbols of the city.




Next up, we'll take you to Mount Bonnell, one of the highest points in Austin, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city skyline. The view from the top is simply breathtaking, and you won't want to miss it.



Finally, we'll adventure around the Pennybacker Bridge, also known as the "360 Bridge," which spans across Lake Austin and offers stunning views of the surrounding hills and water.



Throughout the tour, our guide will provide you with informative commentary and local insights, giving you a true taste of Austin's unique culture and history. At the end of your tour, we'll take you back to your Downtown Austin hotel, leaving you with unforgettable memories of your Austin adventure



At the end of your tour, head back to your downtown Austin hotel.
