Mike was wonderful. He was super friendly and very accommodating. It was a fun afternoon and he definitely knows his way around the Austin Capital Complex building and Austin city area. One of the highlights was the stop for a taste of Austin which included the best taco I have ever had. Thanks Mike!

I wish I had known that I could get a free tour of the capital at the capital building so that the tour operator could show us more things around Austin. For example, I never saw an art museum. A science museum. Period maybe there’s not more to see.

John had knowledge of Texas but couldn’t focus on what the tour was suppose to be about and talked way too much, and about himself. Didn’t know the way to places listed, directionally challenged. Couldn’t find where places were and didn’t know the correct names of things to get us where we were going. Unfortunately not a pleasant experience.
