Eric was a friendly and well- informed guide. We enjoyed spending the day with him. We really enjoyed learning about LBJ and loved Fredericksburg.

The tour guide continuously made inappropriate comments about politics and his “glass-half-empty” view of life.

Meeting new people, getting a refresher on Texas history plus learning new things about Texas, friendliness of tour operator, the food, the sights. LBJ Ranch and Fredericksburg were my favorite stops.

Guide was super nice. Without a car of our own, this was a great opportunity to see larger area around Austin. 👍

Learned things about LBJ we did not know. Too much travel time to make it a 5 star. Interesting part of Texas we were not aware of before

Could not have been better. Would give our guide/driver a score of 10+. Loretta was a delight - very professional and knowledgeable. This tour covers a lot of territory and is great way to see an interesting part of Texas.
