We had an awesome customized tour with a very friendly, energetic and knowledgeable guide, Jake. Despite how crowded downtown Austin was due to the SBSW convention that caused some deviations from the usual tour route, we got to see several interesting and unique pubs. Our guide provided interesting history and great advice about the drinks. Jake made the trip so much fun and I would highly recommend the tour and Jake!

Jake was a personable and amazing tour guide. The tour happened to be on Fat Tuesday, so we couldn't do all that he had planned, which his apologized for. But we did almost everything. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He took his time on this tour. Food at the Driskill was fantastic and would highly recommend grabbing a bite to eat while you are there.
