Highly recommend hop off hop on tour!

Mary_M, Apr 2024

Thee we hop on and hop off tour worked great for us. Since our full day tour spanned many hours, we had two tour guides (Jason and Phil) who were excellent. They were both very personable and provided a great overview of the city. We hopped off at the State Capitol and Bullock Texas History Museum stops and enjoyed the sites. Highly recommend the hop off and hop on tour!

Great!

Ri_T, Mar 2024

Excellent experience! So convenient to hop in & off at the different locations. Just be aware that the bus comes to the stop every 90 minutes.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hi Ri, Thanks so much for taking the tour and the 5 star review. We love it when people express that they had an excellent time. Thanks again, Trey Guide/Owner Double Decker Austin

Fabulous experience again with Viator

Marylou_M, Mar 2024

The tour guides we had were fabulous…fountains of information and funny at the same time…also very helpful with timing and directions and restaurant and night life suggestions…love Viator tours

The tour was a great...

MinyanDavid_L, Feb 2024

The tour was a great experience. We were a little late for 11:30 departure due to heavy traffic on I-35, but found out that the bus was still there. The staff and tour guide were very nice and friendly. We hoped off at South Congress Ave to enjoy our lunch. When we were having our lunch, the staff called us that the bus broke down and couldn't take us back to the Visitor Center, and she told us that they would refund our tickets. I am very impressed with the service. I would recommend the tour to anyone who is new to Austin. We walked back to Visitor Center, and fortunately it is not too far.

Austin Bus Tour

Jeanne_W, Oct 2023

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a great deal. Our only complaint would be it’s not set up to actually hop on and hop off throughout the day when you have to wait an hour and a half for the next bus to come by. In other cities we’ve done the hop on hop off and the wait time is much less and the on/off stops are clearly marked.

Great tour

Sybemp, Oct 2023

Jason was the best….so engaging and knowledgeable, as well as entertaining. Loved the tour. Too bad there is only one bus so the if you get off it’s a 90 minute wait for the next one

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Jason is awesome. We are so glad you loved the tour. Thanks for the awesome review. Trey Owner/Guide Double Decker Austin

Christine_A, May 2023

We Had a fabulous guide and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We hopped off to the LBJ Library and easily rejoined the tour later.

Most excellent way to explore Austin with great customer service.

frank_z, Apr 2023

A group of us that have been doing Happy Hour for 25 years have since graduated to doing road trips to new places together. Our experience was awesome and learned so much about the city, its history and were able to explore at leisure. With a fast approaching storm we were kept aware of problems on the route and alerted when the last bus would be in our area. Excellent experience, recommendations and attentive customer service was why we highly recommend them.

What a ride
