The bus came on time, tour lasted as long as promised and the ride was very relaxing. The tour guide/bus driver did a good job entertaining us. The seat spaces are kind of small for tall guests but the bus was clean and safe overall. We learned a lot about history. Going back with the kids!

It was awesome. The driver was great and although it was a rainy day, we all had a wonderful experience.

Like $20. Driver was outstanding and lively. The tour itself was pretty informative about places to visit or go eat. The water was really cool too. Well worth it for something fairly quick, educational and fun to do as a tourist from out of town.

The boat captain was pleasant & and SO HILARIOUS! He had me dying laughing!The gentleman who helped me at the window was very helpful & professional, He even gave me information about other places to check out. But I live here. I just wanted to learn more about austin.I learned so much more about this town going on tours & I been here almost 30 years! I recommend everyone ride with duck adventures. The comedian driver makes the trip worth your while! I should have gave my number & proposed to him, Because I like people who have a GOOD sense of humor!

Great tour with Captain Bob - recommend it for everyone who’s new to the city. My whole family (hubby, myself and two kids - 8&9) enjoyed it. Make sure to bring some cash for gratitude. We didn’t have any cash on us -wanted to give some to the Captain so badly- so ended up buying him a pack of beers so that he could enjoy them when he’s done with his day

We loved the ride. Our instructor and Mr.Bob was fabulous. He explained every single attraction. It was a worth ride. I recommend everyone visiting Austin should try this ride first and then plan other visits as this ride gives you brief idea about most of the attractions. It was cool breezy day for us and we loved it.

The best tour for adults and kids! If you don’t see Austin from the water, you’ve missed half the beauty. Great for littles as they get a “quacker” and rubber ducky. My 2 and 4 year old were engaged the whole time!

I went on the Duck Tour late August 2020, there was plenty of space for distancing, the tour guide was also smart and witty and provided water and small fans. I learned a lot more about Austin. I would definitely go again if other friends came to visit.

This is one of the attractions in Austin and kind of must try thing in Austin but we havent found it fascinating as it was mentioned over net. But I would say its a worth a try only if you have group on coupon. The staff was friendly and the driver tried his best effort to entertain the audience during the drive. Its a more the one hour drive includes boating ride as well.This ride recommended for family and especially for kids. For kids it will be kind of adventurous trip.

Captain Bob did a great job giving us an awesome Austin tour! The lake portion was my favorite. We did the 3:30 ride and there wasnt a lot of ppl on there, which we preferred.

Great way to see downtown austin. Learned a little history too!! Guide was super nice and fun! It was my daughters birthday and he got everyone to sing. Would do it again!

Had a great time. Your lasts about two hours. Goes around downtown and into the lake.In the past I could park around the corner for free, now due to construction parking is extremely limited. Parking lot from across the street is a rip off with two parking choices $15 for 13 hours or $30 for 25 hours. Those are your only two choices, so park somewhere else.

Great tour! I had been on a few years ago and I also thought it would be the perfect tour to take an out of town friend! Because of the holiday weekend the water was closed but this was made up for by the visit to Motzarts instead (A spot I wanted to go to anyway) the driver was friendly and the experience was super fun! I would do it again! Especially if you just want to see the city quickly and get a little history and a fun easy way.

Sooo much fun. Bus goes into the water the guide is sooo funny! And they skip a seat for social distancing.. Id do it again for sure

We visited from Houston. Lovely adventure for a family. People were there from different countries.

Loved the tour. A lot of local Austin history and info along the way. The water ride was amazing.

Had such a great time with my family

Its a must do for folks visiting Austin. Captain/Uncle Bob our tour guide kept the experience lively and engaged well with our group. He also educated us on the history of landmarks, the recent floods and history of the area in general. You get a duck whistle to quack and wave at locals. Overall a great experience.

Great experience with the family. Funny and informative tour of Austin. Your kids will love it.

Captain Bob was entertaining. He powered through any challenge that faced him. Music, new water route. The sites and facts were fun, going into the water was neat. Great tour and a fair price. If the weather is fresh, take a jacket since the bus isn’t closed in.

The tour guide was very informative and tried to keep us informed in between locations. You do not get off the vehicle but you do get to see most of the historical sites in Austin. Going on the river was very nice too. My only suggestion is to take the earlier tour because the later tour you get lost of traffic. Overall it was very informing and entertaining.

Great tour guide. Great ride. Would definitely do again and recommend when in Austin.

Loved it!! I would recommend to anyone who comes to Austin Texas.

Fantastic tour! Our guide was Eddie. He was high energy, positive, and funny. We loved learning about Austin too. Thanks for such a positive experience!!

Tour guides are disrespectful and rude. driving would-be customers away from local businesses struggling during a PANDEMIC. Disgusting. Hacky jokes too.

I absolutely loved the tour but as usual I like to be honest with my reviews. The only thing that prevented the 5 stars was when the driver did not instruct us where to turn and look when giving details about a certain building. We had people turning left and right trying to figure out which building he was talking about but besides that I had a wonderful time with the family and I would definitely return back if given the opportunity.

The driver was Hilarious! It was so worth it. I would take this tour again just for fun.

Nice land and lake tour and the tour guide was really informative.

We check-in at 2pm bus tour to Austin .bus started with quakes quakes..they had shown all 1980s Buildings,capital.. after that bus had gone into the lake like a boat.seen lake side buildings,sailing in beautiful cool weather..we too tried to drive the bus. Totally a very nice experience to see Austin.Kids Wil enjoy those quakes quakes..

Didnt get to go ever your boat sold out

We dont know name of captain. Lots of quiet pauses. Brings a dog ?? More worried about spilling his Gatorade on the dog. Didnt speak a whole lot . Did this tour in Nov and captain Bob was awesome. Never a full moment . Im kinda disappointed when I bring a family of 8 that came out to visit.

Captain Bob is a perfect tour guide! He is knowledgeable, super funny, and knows how to manage a crowd. If you ask Bob, he can suggest great places to go for whatever you are looking for!

My wife and I booked a Austin Duck Adventure tour on the weekend of our anniversary. We’ve lived in Austin for 8 years so just for fun we wanted to do something we hadn’t done before.The tour was over an hour long. It was great! “Captain Bob” was friendly and engaging, talking with passengers, making them feel welcome and also interacting with passers-by.There is a little Texas history and a lot of Austin culture included as you make your way down 6th St., Congress, the Capitol, Warehouse District, the emerging East Austin and of course 20 minutes or more on Lady Bird Lake.We did the tour during COVID-19 and they offered hand sanitizer, encouraged masks and enforced social distancing (limited number of seats).Definitely recommend for people looking to have fun in Austin. Will bring the kids next time!

I really enjoyed this trip. The vehicle is capable moving on the road and in the lake.

I had some free time in Austin and found this place while looking for tours in Austin.I have to admit, this isn’t quite what I was expecting while booking a boat tour but it was a pleasant surprise that there was a city tour included. For the price, I think it’s a great deal.Captain Bob is a great tour guide, very fun and engaging. I definitely had fun on this tour and would recommend them. I was a little embarrassed at first with the quacking but it grew onto me really quickly lol.

Wonderful experiences. The tour guide kept the entire ride very lively and enthusiastic. Enjoyable for people of all ages. Highly recommend this to anyone who is visiting Austin.

Great for kids and adults! Fun trip around Austin, also informational with funny tour guide.

Really fun time

75 minutes long $30 per person. Takes you on driving tour and a little water for some drive by pictures

My family came in for the annual family reunion so we all joined up and had a good time. The driver was entertaining and the tour had some great points. We had a few older members in the group that really struggled getting on and off, so you may consider that it is a steep ladder entry when thinking of going. There was also alot of construction and walking to get to the place to get our tickets, and then back to the bus. Had we known this ahead of time we may have picked a more ability-friendly option. But it is definitely a fun and unique way to show off the city.

We had a blast, thanks for the knowledge!!!

Captain Bob was well informed with tons of interesting and really entertaining facts. Hands down one of, if not THE best tour Ive been on. Ive lived in Austin 9 years and tons of things about Austin I didnt know. Great thing to do for out of AND in towners. Great date activity!!

I had so much fun!! There were so many interesting facts I didnt know about austin. Aside from that it was absolutely fun, beautiful, energetic, and interactive. I absolutely can not wait to take all of my friends and family when they come by for a visit.

It was fun and Its great for kids. My 2 year old son loved it.

Great experience for someone new. Would be nice to get to see Lake Austin but saw good views of city from Lady Bird Lake.

Not worth it. Cmon.. upwards of $25 per person for a short drive around town and few minutes at a lake? I think there should be a ton of other ways to wisely spend your money than simply hand it out to them.

I went on that tour few years age and it was an exceptional experience. Boat was pretty much new and it felt like riding in solid tank. Driver gave us an excellent tour and ride. Driver turned out to be retired fire department truck driver. If you are visiting Austin this is a must thing to do in my opinion.

The tour was fun and definitely great for first timers. Some of the tour information given was false and they need to do some fat checking but still a good tour if youre visiting Austin for the first time. The boat is very safe and there is plenty of space.

Waiting area was nice and clean, bathroom and gift shop. Our tour guide was nice and funny. Some of the information was less than desirable to me. A little attention to what actual tour would look like and more music selections would be nice. My husband was happy, and amazed how boat went from land to water. We enjoyed the sights, cool breeze and someone else doing the driving.

This was so fun and well worth the price! The driver was very funny!

Great guide and tour.

I probably would have rated it higher if we had been able to do the water portion. Couldnt be helped by them as the ramps were closed by the city. Still wish it would have been stated before making reservation.

An absolute blast that everyone needs to experience! We learned so much about Austin and the area on this unique tour. I cant imagine you finding a better way to get to know the area than by land and sea! Give the Duck Tours a chance! You wont regret it!

If you never been in Austin this is a great way to look around.

Great Experience! Fun Ride thru down and the Lake On the same Bus/Boat.

We brought family and out of town guests on the Austin Duck Adventure and we had the BEST time! We felt safe, and were totally entertained with Captain Bobs great senseOf humor and knowledge of the Austin area. There was never a dull moment. We thought we knew a lot about Austin but he shared so many interesting facts that we did not know. He made sure to engage everyone on our tour “bus” as well as passers by and they seemed to enjoy the fun spirited attention :) he is an excellent tour guide. We highly recommend Austin Duck Adventures :)

My wife and I had an absolute blast taking the tour of Austin on the duck tour. The driver (former teacher) was very friendly, funny and enthusiastic. We laughed the whole time. The driver really did a great job engaging us and giving a fun overview of the city. Loved the locations visited. Money well spent! Highly recommended.

Fun activity for the whole family. Driver was very entertaining. Great value!

Yesterday I was at Festival Beach. An older woman who had been kayaking had pulled her kayak up onto the ramp and left it there while she took her dog, who had been with her in her boat, to her truck. About that time one of the duck boats started to come up out of the water. There was plenty of room for the duck boat to exit the lake in the northwest end of the ramp. The driver of the duck boat started up the ramp coming right at the woman’s kayak literally stopping less than 5 feet from it. The driver couldn’t have seen the kayak from where he was. The driver started yelling at her telling her that he had “the right” to use that end of the ramp and that he couldn’t use the other end because of a “drop off” and that “the police” had given them the right to use that end of the ramp and did he want her “to call the blues” and have them remove her. I helped the woman get her boat out of the way of the duck boat. None of that about the police giving them the right or even having any kind of exclusive right was true.PLEASE DON’T SUPPORT THESE BULLIES OF THE LAKE. PLEASE WRITE THE AUSTIN CITY MANAGER NOT TO RENEW THESE BULLIES’ LICENSE TO USE OUR LAKE FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES WHILE THREATENING TO RUN OVER BOATERS AND KAYAKERS ON THE LAKE.

Street was closed, no notice drove all over the place trying to find another way in, ended up missing the tour, hopefully we can get a refund

Fun and informative adventure.

Hardly recomended!!!! Donne it twice and will repeat it without problem

First off - Great job to Bob who drove and narrated our trip (he also plays in a band at the Irish pub). He made it fun, interesting, and memorable! Booking was easy and pickup at the visitor center was a breeze (they have bathrooms you can use before the tour). Really enjoyed learning about 6th street and other facts. The Duck boat they drive is custom built for tours and 100% safe and unsinkable according to Bob (not like the military vehicles that have been recommissioned for your use). Hope you enjoy!

Excellent tour. Driver/tour guide was wonderful. Full of information and keeps you laughing. If you go in the summer, go early. Not quite so hot, etc.

An absolute adventure indeed! My girlfriend and I came to visit Austin for a couple days and we were looking for something that involved sightseeing, the lake and an overall great experience. We came across Austin Duck Adventures and boy oh boy, was it awesome! Its not everyday you hear about a tour bus going INTO THE LAKE and go from a tour bus to a tour boat! It was super cool and fun all at the same time. Our tour bus guide/driver (I forgot his name sorry!) was phenomenal at knowing a lot of facts around the city making the tour 10x more interesting along the way. I highly recommend checking it out!

Had a great time on the trip Captin Bob was hilarious and knowledgeable kept everyone entertained.

The weather was sunny, breezy and comfortable. The waiting area is in the gift shop which was nice, and bathroom were cleaned. Our tour guide was nice and funny. Some of the information about the restaurants in the are were clearly mentioned. The Duck Adventure was a little uninteresting for millennial because my wife and I fall asleep during the ride. However, after the ride if you decide to go to 6th Ave where the restaurants are, just be prepared to encounter lots of homeless individuals.

Fun way to tour the city. Real nice adventure for the young and old.

The tour was great , captain was so informative & funny. My bachelorette group & I enjoyed the tour , definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin .

So.... we booked this tour (pre reserved) for a party of 6. We didn’t get to sit together for one, and for two I had a ladder in my knees and view of the ladder the entire time. For three, they overbooked and there wasn’t even a seat for everyone. I’m pretty sure this is illegal, regardless of the law, this company is highly unethical. I guess they think everyone is drunk because it’s in downtown Austin? The tour guide was very rude and kept saying “this is a public tour” (which I was fully aware of). The guide said to us that we can only get a refund if the tour was cancelled in the first 5 minutes. I’ll post a photo of my view for reference. Save your money and see the city on a bike. Also, with the AAA card they will only give you $2 off ONE ticket- not the group. This company is very greedy and not customer service oriented. We were really looking forward to this tour for weeks and it was a major let down.

I Decided to take this tour when I first visited Austin. Our tour guide was very entertaining and informative. We drove around Austin streets and even went into the Colorado lake. The whole experience was very fun and engaging. I definitely recommend taking this inexpensive tour.

Very informative yet fun tour. Covers all the major parts of Austin.

The guide was great! My picky family had a great time on the tour. The visitors center where you check in has some great stuff to purchase as well.

So much fun!! A great way to experience Austin and get an experienced guide. Will definitely do again!!

Ive wanted to do this for years and it wasnt a disappointment. As fun as I thought it would be and very informative.

The Duck Adventure its a popular tour in many places, but weve done our first in Austin, and Captain Bob, our driver/guide, was super friendly, interactive and had good stories to share. Besides the cold and wind, we actually had fun being ducks, learned a few things about the local history and got from land to water at Austin Lake. Since was my girlfriends birthday, she was invited to get a taste of how you drive this vehicle on the water. That was exciting and a surprise. Very safe ride. Dress warm when its cold outside, vehicle has no heaters. Takes you 1h:30min round-trip.

Loved it! Very family friendly and fun!! Highly recommend, and affordable’

The tour guide did a excellent job on board. Kids enjoyed the adventure.

Had a great time. It was my daughters birthday and she wad allowed to drive on the water. Awesome birthday memory.

We knew ahead of time how early to get to the area and approximately where to park. Directions were good. Check in was good and quick. Check in area was clean with a gift shop. Rest rooms were very clean. Captain Darrell was really engaging. Came around the boat and introduced himself and even referenced back to folks on the bus later during commentary. Told jokes, history of the are, really seemed to know what would keep the group going. Played music and kept both kids and adults entertained without being over the top annoying.Glad we made it part of our trip

Captain Bob was superb and the running live history and commentary is what makes this special and oh yeah the duck whistle.

Captain Daryl was wonderful and so funny! He made the tour so much fun! If you can make it to Austin Tx you must take this tour. It was so exciting going into the lake!

The tour is a good experience. It goes through downtown Austin and then in the lake.

We had a fantastic time during our tour. It was very informative and we got to see quite a bit of the variety that Austin offers, of course including Lake Austin which really blew me away. Our tour guide cap Bob was funny and pointed out quite a bit. I would definitely go again and highly recommend.

It was a great addition to our agenda while visiting Austin. Captain Bob was informative and very friendly. High recommend this tour. Going into the water was the highlight for me.

Paul you need to know that your customer service is terrible. We visited your business and a gentleman was sitting at his desk with cell phone in hand. He was more concerned about his phone than giving great customer service. I would have fired him on the spot. He was rude to say the least and i would give negative stars if i could

Captain Bob was upbeat and funny. The tour went by quickly and was a easy way to get a feeling for Austin.

Captain Bob is awesome!

This was surprisingly a great tour of Austin proper. Lived in Austin for years and took my Mom visiting from Guam on it. We all enjoyed it. Captain Bob was the funniest and very informational. Kid friendly. Our kids 5, 7, & 20months thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended! Get the groupon and enjoy the ride in a nice day!

Great scenic tour of the area with lots of good information for places to visit. Funny Captain as well!

Captain Darryl was so sweet and funny. The trip was very informative and the splash in the water was great. Loved it!

Hi, I brought my family for the duck tour a few weeks back.When our boat was on the lake, the driver let one guy who was on his birthday to drive the boat around, then let a female to drive it. She even made a sharp turn on the lake. My parents are at their 60s and both felt very uncomfortable during the turn. Eventually the driver let each and every kid try it. This is so unprofessional and it put all tourists safety at risk. We paid for a trained driver, not to let a tourist (crazy or not nobody knows) to drive the boat on the lake.I think this irresponsible action must immediately stop.

Ugh! The tour bus/boat was super hot - as it slowly toured around, we melted inside. It was very difficult to understand the tour guide. From beginning to end, it was miserable.

Excellent tour. Our guide, Bob was friendly and refreshing. He was really knowledge about the area and kept things fun and interesting for both the adults and kids on board. He made it a poi t to interact with everyone. Had a great time a d learned of many more areas we wish to visit and explore in area.

I really like Austin Adventures. Wether you are a tourist or a local, its a great place to go for information or a local tour. The people who work there are always friendly and informative. And the gift shop is full of unique and fun items.

My experience was super fun. Our guide Denis was very knowledgeable and funny! Beautiful town and the lake was cool! A different way to take a tour of the city and learn a bit of history.

Real funny, perfect amount of time for the tour

For me, personally the duck tour was quite an amazing experience. Our guide was entertaining as well as informative. I have been a resident of Austin for about 20 years and this tour still managed to teach me quite a bit about my city. This tour was very enjoyable and I intend to take all of my future visitors from out of town on this tour.Dev

Great tour of the city! Our family loved the bus/boat ride.

It wasn’t bad, my in-laws enjoyed it. Price should be $20 instead of $27.
