Downtown Austin Small-Group Panoramic Sightseeing Tour

Overview
In Texas, even our convertibles are bigger: Find out for yourself with 360-degree views of Austin in a unique, convertible-top Mercedes-Benz sprinter. Take in major sights, including time to hop off the van and appreciate beautiful views, iconic murals, and historic sites along the way. Expect stops for some light walking at the Driskill Hotel, the University of Texas campus, and the Pfluger bridge (subject to change due to events or closures.)

This small-group tour (14 passenger max) is the one to do if you want a comprehensive look at what makes this city what it is: from the towering architecture of downtown, the humble yet active expanse of the south side, the quaint and historical east, and the perpetually awe-inspiring capitol and campus.

Note: convertible top may be closed during bad weather, cold/hot/rain, as well as any part of the route that is on the highway where our speed would cause too much wind to be comfortable.

Hi Kelly, Thank you for the great rating. We're glad you enjoyed most of the tour. Was there something in particular about the library stop that made it less than ideal for you? We always love to hear from customers about what would make things even better. Thanks again! -AO Tours Austin
