5 stars! I’m an Austin native and still learned so much from Captain Bob. Fun jokes, informative ride, and great weather! I do recommend the morning ride to keep cool.
The family and I were in Austin over the Memorial Day holiday weekend and thought the Austin Duck tour would be a perfect way to spend the morning! The tour meets at the Austin Visitors Center, and the best place to park is the Austin Convention Center parking garage (600 E 5th St). Once you check in at the Visitors Center, you will be instructed to line up on Red River Street. Boarding will begin about 15 minutes before your departure time. Be there early to avoid one of the bad seats! Upon boarding, you'll be given a yellow duck quacker. Come prepared to use it! We quacked at everyone and everything for the entire 75-minute tour! The looks we got from some people were priceless. After about 30 minutes of touring downtown (including the Capitol and 6th Street), we headed west to Colorado River, where we spent another 30 minutes learning about the history of Austin and enjoying the beautiful homes on the water. The last 15 minutes were spent driving back to the Visitors Center, where we deboarded and were on our way. Special shout out to our tour guide, Robert O (Captain Bob), who was easily one of the funniest, quick witted and knowledgeable guides I have ever met. 5 stars all around!
It was so fun! I forgot the hosts name, but a Hispanic man, thin mustache. I know it’s not captain Miguel, because of a joke he made. Regardless our captain was incredible. Shout out to him! It was a reallly fun and informative tour. Sometimes a little fast, but we’re on the road, so it makes sense. The diving into the water part was hella fun and cool. 10/10 worth the cost. Also get a ton of recommendations of what to eat while driving which was important.
What a great experience! From purchasing tickets, getting an awesome welcome from the staff, to the ride itself just overall fabulous! We have already planned to make another trip with more friends and family! Kudos to our driver who entertained us throughout the entire trip! Thank you!!
Amazing experience!! This was our favorite thing to do in Austin. I’m disappointed that this was the last thing we did because we were shown a lot of cool spots that we now know to go check out! Definitely something to do at the beginning of the trip. The little quack noise makers made the tour so much fun! I loved that we did a thorough tour of the city before we went into the water. Going into the lake was very enjoyable - even though I was a little nervous at first! The tour continued on in the water with information about the houses on the lake, which celebs had houses here, what movies were filmed on the lake, information about surrounding geography, etc. We even had a trivia challenge and the winner got to drive the boat in the water! The tour was 90 minutes and the whole time we were thoroughly entertained!!
We went on a duck tour for the first time and I'm so glad we did! Our tour was led by Captain Miguel who was entertaining and taught us lots of fun facts about Austin (we have lived here 6 years and he still told us a lot we didn't know). Our 7 year old son was engaged the whole time between the music, the tour and the quakers they provide for interaction with people we passed on the street. Would highly recommend this tour with or without your kids.
The tour was very informative and educational. We learned about the neighborhoods and the sea tour was okay 3/5. Driver bob did a great job and he was very funny. The places that the driver recommended I definitely checked them out.
Love this all in one deal! A bus that coverts into a boat to take a tour of Austin. Our guide was amazing and very interactive with his tourists with all the jokes and narratives of the histrionic stories of Austin, TX. I high recommend this type of tour.
Amazing 90 min of trip with Austin view and then some boating time! I wish the roof was openable as the weather was good, to get a full view! Good option even if you have a birthday or any celebration as they will do it with everyone Another option is open double decker Austin bus
Total Score:3550

There is too much to type!.... We had a blast. Family friendly and definitely recommend. My pictures and videos are a small part, and they speak for themselves, but the history of the city and river plus our driver Bob made it memorable. This is a must do tour if you're in Austin. Highly recommend it!!!!’
