EXPERIENCE

Be greeted by your guide at your downtown Austin accommodation and begin your evening tour in the comfort of a Mercedes Metris van. At dusk, cruise on Austin’s Lady Bird Lake and watch the changing skyline. Learn about the city s culture and friendly locals.

Take this tour between March and October, witness Austin’s famous Congress Bridge bats. Join your guide on a bat-watching excursion to see fabled Mexican (or Brazilian) free-tailed bats take flight from underneath the Congress Avenue Bridge.
