Tour description

Will this perhaps be your first trip to Austin ? Or maybe even Texas ? Join us on this tour of old downtown Austin, as we explore the once quiet city and its culture hidden among the skyscrapers. On this tour we will discover the history of Austin and its important role as the governmental seat of not only a state but of what was once a struggling republic. We will visit important landmarks and homes. We will begin at City Hall , heading to the Congress Bridge ; Driskill Hotel and Paramount Theatre ; The Texas Capitol , a historic Moontower , and many more sites in old downtown. We will also discuss the city's early inhabitants, the conflict of the Texas Revolution , and the role Austin played in the early years of the Republic of Texas .
