Weird Austin City Tour for Private Groups

How did Austin get its “weird” reputation? Why is Willie Nelson worshiped like a god king? What’s the deal with all the bats? Why are locals getting into bar fights over the best breakfast taco?

Find out all these answers and more…even if some of it may shock you…on our Weird Austin City Tour.

Here at Twisted Texas we trolled the archives, pestered locals, and maybe even did a little dumpster diving to know all the weird and wild tales of Austin. And now we want to share them with you. Your Twisted guide will show you the best of everything Austin has to offer: live music, food trucks, weird people, and oh so much more.

As an added bonus, we have a local musician riding shotgun to strum up some singalong classics and a few original tunes. So if you’re ready to do a little dance and make a little love to this incredible Texas city…this is the ride for you.

We make lots of killer stops along the way, with chances to sample local foods and have a snack (on us!), take a stroll across Lady Bird Lake, and snap cool photos of local murals and the downtown skyline.

Reviews

  The band on the bus was great! The tour guide had good energy. That's where the great parts ended. I was surprised how little food we received considering this tour... read more was labeled a "brunch" tour. We had one small taco at the first stop; one slice of "breakfast pizza" at the second stop (they called this shakshouka; I've had real shakshouka in Morocco and this was not it); and one kolache at the third stop. The drinks were ok. The drink at the first stop was good; it was beer at the second and third stop; and I'm not into beer. I wish I had known that ahead of time. None of the three spots are in any of Austin's lists for best brunch spots, so I didn't feel like it was checking off anything on my list.

Overall, this was absolutely not worth $100. I would suggest lowering your price ($50 is way more reasonable; and I think even that is a stretch)... OR offer a much more expanded brunch with more options. As I believe this is a great business idea, I would love to speak to the owner/manager to offer more detailed feedback.

  Band on the bus was the best idea ever. Breweries were fun and delicious. Tour guide was a little cheesy for our taste. Bus claims to be air conditioned but... read more there was zero cool air or circulation unless bus was driving with windows open. Overall...More

  Myself and a few others traveled to Austin for a bachelor party weekend and had booked the brewery bus tour event through the Twisted Texas Tours. Simply put, this... read more was the highlight of the entire weekend. Between the live music on the bus, multiple breweries we got to visit, and Tex's enthusiasm and hype that he brought to the bus, this was absolutely a 10 out of 10 event and would absolutely recommend this to any group thinking about doing this as an event in Austin. It was so fun we thought about trying to book the same bus tour the next day! …
