Texas Hill Country and LBJ Tour From Austin

Overview

Explore the scenic backroads of the Texas Hill Country! Learn about Texas cowboys and the great cattle drives of the 1800s. Step back in time at the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park & Historic Site, which is still a working cattle ranch. Pass by award-winning wineries & orchards, before visiting Fredericksburg, a historic & picturesque German town. You will have time on your own to shop (optional), have lunch at an authentic German restaurant & biergarten (optional), or visit one of the many wine tasting rooms (optional).

Meeting new people, getting a refresher on Texas history plus learning new things about Texas, friendliness of tour operator, the food, the sights. LBJ Ranch and Fredericksburg were my favorite stops.

Guide was super nice. Without a car of our own, this was a great opportunity to see larger area around Austin. 👍

Learned things about LBJ we did not know. Too much travel time to make it a 5 star. Interesting part of Texas we were not aware of before

We appreciate your feedback. We usually get 5 star reviews from all our guests- it does take over an hour to get into the heart of the Hill Country where we spend the day. If you would like to provide more feedback you can email me at [email protected]
