There was only two of us on tour. We toured around Austin in a car and stopped at the Austin mural and pedestrian bridge. Interesting to see some different neighborhoods. Half of the tour was on the boat to see the bats. Boat tour very interesting about the buildings along the river. The bats came out but due to wind and temperature not in a big swarm. The bay activity is highest in August. Still a lot of interesting information and we enjoyed it.
