Richard was an amazing guide, who was very patient with our lively group and anticipated all of our needs! He was early for the pick-up and such a friendly person, he even stopped to pick up some extra ice to ensure the drinks we brought stayed cold. The bus was fantastic, cool, and comfortable ā€” all the things you want after eating all you can eat BBQ in a hot Texas summer. The winery and brewery we visited were both unique and tons of fun! I would definitely recommend Austin Detours to anyone visiting, we will be using them again. Request Richard, he's the best!
