What you can expect

Get to know Austin on a leisurely morning walk with a storyteller as your guide. Learn little-known stories about the city, get insider tips on the best coffee shops, restaurants, and live music venues, and explore the city like a local.

Begin your tour in city centre Austin, following your guide to the 2nd Street District (aka Warehouse District) on the west side of Congress, including the Moody Theatre with Austin's iconic statue of Willie Nelson.

Next, walk through the Warehouse District straight to Guytown and the first railway depot in Austin (circa 1871), formerly the Spaghetti Warehouse. Continue to Congress Avenue and go by the speakeasy tavern, formerly the Southwestern Telephone and Telegraph Company (circa 1886).

Northbound on Congress Avenue, go across the famous Sixth Street to the Angelina Eberly statue and hear a fantastic storey about how she saved the city back in 1842. From there, cross Congress with a beautiful view of the state Capitol just two streets away.

Discuss some of the history of the Capitol and then move to the Driskill Hotel from 1885 where you will tour the beautiful lobby and the Driskill Bar and Lounge. Watch as your guide points out points of interest on Sixth Street as you head east passing great music venues and Voodoo Donuts.

Venture down San Jacinto past new and old buildings. Take a right at Vince Young's Steakhouse, back to Congress Avenue. Then, walk to the Pearl House Hotel to 2nd Street with Austin's famous bat bridge in site. Make a stop to talk a little bit about the bat phenomenon in Austin.
