About the Real Austin tour Discover the best of the city! This fast-paced “bucket list” tour gives visitors a great snapshot of Austin: get dizzy gazing upward at the Capitol’s dome, explore cool outdoor art, snap photos at city landmarks, and check out funky neighborhoods only a local would know about. This detour is jam-packed with facts, history, and trivia on everything from Whole Foods to the UT campus, and everyone from Michael Dell to Willie Nelson. By the time you’re done with this tour, you’ll be able to say you “get” Austin – the history, people, music, culture, food and what keeps it “weird.” If you’re looking for a snappy quick overview of the city, or just need to prove to the social media universe you were in Austin this is the detour for you!
Texas Rowing Center is the most accessible and reliable stand up paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking in Lady Bird Lake (the lake just south of downtown). It costs $15 to $20 / hour. Great way to be active and experience the beautiful weather.
Deep Eddy Vodka has blown up across the US. Go visit the distillery out in the hill country (25 minute drive from downtown). They have good variety of cocktails and a nice outdoor space to hang out. Food truck is usually on-site as well. Open Thu, Fri, Sat: 11am – 5pm & Sun: 12pm – 5pm.
Jester King Brewery is a farmhouse brewery known for its numerous sour beers. Not everyone loves the sour focus, but it's still a very cool area. They offer non-sour beers as well.
Stanley's Farmhouse Pizza is on-site and is absolutely delicious. They host public tours and tasting room hours on Fridays from 4-10pm, Saturdays from 12-10pm, and Sundays from 12-7pm. Free brewery tours are available Fridays at 6pm, and Saturdays and Sundays at 1pm, 3pm, and 5pm.
One of the best views overlooking the entire city and Lake Austin portion of the Colorado river. It's very close to downtown and is near some of the biggest and most luxurious homes in town. It's free and a short hike up about 100 stairs. This isn't a formal hike and is really just a picture opportunity.
Roll across Austin in style on a Segway (watch our for cliffs). Costs $49 to $69 for a 1.5 hour to 2.5 hour tour.
30 minute free tours at the Texas State Capital (Mon.-Fri. 8:30-4:30p.m.; Sat. 9:30-3:30p.m.; Sun. noon-3:30 p.m.). Everything is bigger in Texas.
