This was indeed a small group tour! We had 4 people in our group, which was awesome. Owen, our tour guide and driver was amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. He really knows Austin. He got us to the bat boat cruise in plenty of time to get good seats and was waiting when the cruise was over. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel, which is a great service. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic time on this tour. Mike, our driver, arrived in time and was super friendly and knowledgeable. After a drive through some of Austin’s hotspots, we then headed to the boat to join the bat viewing. Our host on the boat was fab, very entertaining. We were in for a treat, the bats put on a fantastic show!
