Evan was amazing We understood that the food at salt lick was not part of the the cost but it needs to be more clear about the wine tour. We expected the price we paid to get us the tastings. Most of the group was not very happy about that,

Thank you for booking the Hill Country BBQ & Wine Shuttle - we're glad that you enjoyed having Evan as your guide! We appreciate your feedback about the pricing, however please know that we have made every effort to be as accurate and transparent as possible in the description of this activity to indicate that this is a shuttle service out to the Salt Lick BBQ and two Hill Country wineries, but food and drinks are not included. These are paid directly to the restaurants and wineries on the day of. (We list the cost of the wine tastings plus a suggested budget for the Salt Lick in order for guests to know what to expect.) This allows us to offer an affordable option for getting out to the hill country in a comfortable vehicle with a friendly local guide while giving our guests the flexibility to only pay for what they eat/drink at each stop. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any additional questions or comments. Cheers! -AUSTIN DETOURS 512.962.8636
