★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 485 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $99Our pick

Spend about three hours with Austin Detours, riding a Mercedes Sprinter van between three local music venues. Guides such as Ike, Joey, Kelty, David, and Evan share Austin music stories, city history, and current scene tips. The $99 tour includes entry and transport, but not food or drinks. Minimum age is 21.

“Joey is as so awesome, personable, thoughtful, interesting, funny, knowledgeable and kind. He remembered everyone’s name on the tour and where they were from. The driver David was also great! We did an icebreaker of the last memorable concert we went to and they made a point of playing that music during our drives. The venues we went to were so fun that we even stayed at the last one to finish listening to the bands set. Hands down our favorite part of our Austin weekend trip.”
