Peacock cab history

DebraA_B, Apr 2024

Fun and different way to taken in the history of Austin! Our guide snd cab driver was fun ! Great tour !

Better options available.

Cynthia_W, Apr 2024

This was an average tour that could have been better. We had booked our party of 4 to be picked up at our hotel. At the appointed time we received a call asking where we were, they were not at our hotel. They arrived, 2 pedicabs, we met up with 3 other pedicabs and the group was informed we now had a late departure because they had to come get us? We had booked a private tour, just our group and that is what we paid for. So now there are 5 pedicab, one has a large boom box, another has a driver giving a loud private tour, our driver, while nice, was brand new and had no idea what the game plan was. 1. Did not pick up on time. 2. Not a private group as booked. 3. Tried to blame us for their error. 4. Boom Box and "private guy" made it impossible to hear lead driver giving the tour. 5. So no "tour", just a ride at $ 70 a person. 5. Would not book again.

Caleb did an excellent job and safely navigated the historic Austin. We would definitely have Caleb as a guide again. He is very knowledgeable, experienced and enthusiastic!

Best chauffeur ever

Lynda_T, Jan 2024

Jordan was amazing. He loves Austin. Showed us the best time. We will definitely come back. ……!!!!!!!!

Fun and easy

Katie_S, Nov 2023

This is a very fun way of seeing the city! Our guide was very fun and a good bicycle driver too. This is definitely a "light" history tour so if you want something in depth this is not for you. But a great overview

Great way to spend a Saturday

2Dave_D, Oct 2023

Great way to spend a Saturday. The ride was relaxing and we learned a few historical facts about Austin. We also took a lot a few notes on some recommended places to eat.

Awesome!!!

Deborah_M, Sep 2023

Caleb was awesome! We had a great time. He knew so much about the city and was a lot of fun. He took us on a great tour of the city.

Lots to be desired!!

Alfonzo_B, May 2023

I recommend the activity because of the chance to learn about Austin's history; not because of the tour guide. The package is labeled historic pedicab. Our tour guide lacked the knowledge of historic Austin, at least that's what it appeared to my wife and me. Of course, we were told about the bar scenes; however, when asked about a church he was unable to even say it's name. Only that it was in a few movie scenes. There were buildings dated to the 1800s that we left there not knowing anything about. Please encourage your staff to learn more about the area so patrons like my wife and me don't leave there not knowing any more about the area than what we could've easily Google!!

Ok tour of city

Traci_M, May 2023

Ok tour, for the price I thought we might get more historical info. Not just a 90 min ride around town. Ride and tour guide were good just didn’t think a value for the $130 + tip cost.

Excellent tour

Laura_Y, Apr 2023

Excellent tour! Caleb is eccentric, knowledgeable, creative, and all around great person and tour guide! I can’t think of having a better experience than the one he gave us!

Response from Host, May 2023

Thanks for touring with us!

So much fun!!

Carey_R, Apr 2023

If you are looking for some quick knowledge of Austin that doesn’t involve a crowded bus this is the tour for you. We had a great time and covered a lot of ground. I would highly recommend requesting Caleb.

Dusty was great! He created our stops based on our likes and dislikes. He really knows all areas and shared Austin sites that were unique. Has music playing and wants to ensure you have a memorable tour! I have been on other pedicab tours but none as fun as this! Dusty is entertaining!!!

Dusty was great. Very kind personble. Here in Austin for a wedding had time to kill. Glad we did.
