Austin

Welcome to Austin

Austin is the Texas state capital city, but live music, tasty Tex-Mex food, succulent Texas-style barbecue beef, good beer, and 1.5 million bats made the town famous. Add in world-class museums, wildly diverse shopping experiences, and beautiful outdoor spaces to create an exciting visitor destination. Austin has numerous historic buildings, the scenic Texas Hill Country outside the city makes a nice day trip, and paddlers will enjoy Lake Austin and Lady Bird Lake. Be there as Austin City Limits, the longest running music series in American television history, records live in the Moody Theater. The bats? Take a bike or kayak for sunset bat-watching on the Congress Avenue bridge.

Perfect way to try Austin’s best BBQ!
Locals Know BBQ Food Tour in Austin Texas
gloria_in_houston, Jul 2026
Perfect way to try Austin’s best BBQ!
What an outstanding experience! You get to try the top dishes at the highest rated BBQ spots in Austin, jumping the line, and enjoying the food while hearing about the chef and the food and back story. We are new residents of Austin and this helped us get through our bucket list of BBQ spots so we know where we’d like to go back to. We were transported between locations in a comfortable van. Most places we sat outside at picnic tables to eat. Would definitely recommend! Note that the tour doesn’t focus on Austin info or history, it is all about the BBQ.

I’m sure this amazing exploration and kayaking experience would have been enjoyable on its own, but if you go, go with Robin. He took the trip to a whole new level with his hospitality, humor, and knowledge of all the flora and fauna the river had to offer! We’ll be back!

Guided Sunset Bat Kayak Tour in Austin

An easy paddle! Fun and educational! Recommended!
A must-do in Austin. Like many who look up "Austin Bats" online, the in-person experience of seeing them is hit and miss. We saw bats! Just not the dramatic black-out sensation I had in my head. Our tour guide Bo was FAB-U-LOUS! Funny, personable, knowledgeable. Hits on all the topics - history, biology, architecture. I learned a lot! Glad I booked through Travel Marketing - I save about $10 over their sticker price.

Leah_J, Jul 2026
Very nice boat cruise!
I enjoyed the experience. The boat captain was very prompt and met us at the docking point as outlined on the website. He safely operated the clean boat and even provided a brief narrative of some of the homes along the way. It was a really peaceful boat ride and neat to see all the lovely homes I can't afford. Lol. I would do it again, but next time book a sunset cruise for a different experience.

BEST Adoptable Cat Lounge/Cafe In Austin!
I had the BEST time ever! Purrfecto Cat Lounge is the ultimate cat haven. There were so many cats, I swear it seemed like 30 cats were playing around at one point! The staff were lovely and the lounge was so cozy. I got to enjoy the sweetest latte while a cat cuddled up on my lap. Heaven! You can tell these cats are properly taken care of. The concept of this place is truly amazing, with these cats all coming from local rescues. They get to come here and socialize, receive amazing care, and find their forever homes. This has become my favorite place in to visit in Austin! Might even adopt a cat next time!

I couldn’t write enough good things about Codi and this tour. Amazing food- each joint a different vibe and meat specialty. Definitely come hungry- personally I got through 4 of the 5 places before I couldn’t put anymore in my mouth. It’s not just food though- Codi is a treasure trove of Austin history and anecdotes about each venue. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would do again if we came to town
