Howdy! We’re Austin Detours – an independent locally-owned experiences company providing activity, tour and transportation services to locals, visitors and corporate clients.

Our specialty is fun – we create amazing experiences for the lone traveler up to corporate groups of 300. Our Handcrafted Austin Experiences allow you to check out the arts and music scenes, visit architectural delights, learn about organic gardening, discover urban winemaking, chow down on Texas bbq, tour the UT campus, freshen your wardrobe, take a two-step lesson, improve your golf, go crafting and much more!

We’re the tour company for people who don’t like tours. We believe you have to get out of the van and feel dizzy as you look up at the Capitol rotunda, indulge in the richness of a Gourdough’s donut, decipher the meanings behind the art at our best outdoor gallery, and tap your toes to the latest tunes of one of our local musicians. Our job is to ensure you leave Austin saying “wow!”

Great experience! Loved the Live Music tour with Sunny. Saw some great live music & venues. Ike did a great job on the Bucket List tour. This was a fantastic way to explore & learn about Austin. Thanks!

Our family (two adults and our 12-year old son) loved “The Real Austin Tour.” We learned a lot and visited places we never would have known about otherwise. This is a great introduction to a fantastic city.

I have to give out a huge shout out to Sunny Fierly �. We had so much fun driving around and stopping to take pictures. Some of these sights I have pass right through them and never realized they where there. I love how this tour was able to teach me to appreciate a little bit more what Austin has to give. One last thing before I forget, Sunny thanks for that life risking photo you took of me and my boyfriend, you are amazing for that thank you, thank you so much! Made my birthday a whole lot of fun.

Great selection of venues and genres. We got to places we’d never have found on our own. And we loved the Saxon Pub! Our driver and tour guide, Steven, was great. Personable and very knowledgeable!

Great overview of the town and we had a fanstastic guide named Kurt. He was informative, friendly and funny . The six of us totally enjoyed the time and were glad that we went on this tour. Also good value for money with a couple of nice nibbles thrown in .

It was such a great time. Everyone in the groups are interactive, friendly, and great team work. It’s a fun way to spend a night saturday. Loved walking around and seeing different bars I wanted to stop by later. Definitely worth your time. It goes by so fast you dont realize 2 hours had already past. Love to do it again!

Our group did a wine bus tour in the Dripping Spings/Driftwood area for a bachelorette party. We had a great time! The bus picked us up at our hotel in downtown Austin, and we went out to three wineries. I worked with Kristyn to book the trip, and Sierra was our guide. Both were super helpful and kind!

What a great way to see the city! Our tour guide’s name was Dustin, who was knowledgeable and friendly and showed us all around and pointed out cool things that makes Austin great .
To name a few, we toured inside the Capital, drove by Univ of Texas, saw murals/artwork, neighborhoods, and he even got us cupcakes!

I had a few hours to kill by myself and was SO glad to have gone. There is no way I would’ve been able to cover that much ground on my own and now I’ve seen more landmarks and cool places than my friend that lives there!! Thank you!!! (I’m the one that was running late and met you at the Capital instead of the Visitor Center).

This is the best way to spend 2hrs, and get to know a bit of Austin. Elisa did a great job by keeping everyone engaged and entertained throughout the tour. I recommend doing this tour as early during your stay, as it will help to give you ideas on what and where to go while you’re in Austin.
Well worth the price of admission.

I recently traveled to Austin for a short weekend trip. Austin Detours offers a variety of tours for whatever you might be looking for. I wanted to make the best out of the little time I had there, so I decided to go on the The Real Austin Tour. This was a bang for the buck (only $35) and I got to see plenty of my to-do items in just a couple hours!

First off, the tour guide, Ike was fantastic! He was full of knowledge, energy and made the tour lots of fun. He encouraged conversation amongst everyone so we could make friends along the way. Ten of us loaded the Mercedes van and headed out on the town. We got a brief tour of the beautiful capital, local art spots and even a sweet treat at the end. My favorite part about this tour was that we weren’t just sitting in the van the whole time. Although we saw many things as we drove, we still got the opportunity to get out, walk around and take pictures.

If you are looking for a great way to explore Austin, I would highly suggest checking out any of the tours they offer!

If your looking for a great way to see Austin, this is it! We are SO happy we chose to do this as one of our adventures for a bachelorette weekend in Austin. We had the best time, we did the winery BBQ tour…HIGHLYYY recommended for any group! We had a blast, and our tour guide Joe was incredible! He was knowledgeable, funny, and so sweet. Next time we’re back in Austin we will definitely be on another Austin Detours (and have Joe as our guide!)

Don’t hesitate, just book and you won’t regret!
