Not the best tour I've had. I've had better tours in other cities, but it was OK. I would recommend more places for people to get off and walk around.

This was a phenomenon tour. Trace was super friendly, funny, and knowledgeable - not just about Austin but San Antonio and Texas as a whole. Definitely felt like the star treatment and enjoyed the edible treat near the end too (no spoilers). Highly recommended! :)
