Texas Capitol Visitors Center
About
112 E 11th St, Austin, TX 78701, USA Get directions
Austin's Texas Capitol Visitors Center sits a block south of the Capitol itself, housed in the 1857 General Land Office building—the oldest surviving state office building in Texas and once a workplace of writer O. Henry. Inside you'll find exhibits on the building's history and the Capitol grounds along with maps and information to orient your visit, and it's worth knowing the center keeps shorter hours than you might expect, so plan for a daytime stop.

Pedal Pub Austin
Austin
Pedal Pub Austin runs group pedal-powered party bikes that you and up to a dozen or so friends power yourselves while a guide steers you between bars in the West 6th Street and downtown area. Tours typically run a couple of hours and route past local watering holes, so it's more of a rolling social outing than a sightseeing trip — bring a group and expect to do some of the work.
Austin Detours
Austin
Austin Detours runs small-group walking and food tours out of a storefront on East 5th Street, right in the thick of downtown Austin's nightlife and dining district. Expect a guide-led, locally focused experience that leans into the city's food, music, and neighborhood history rather than checklist sightseeing.

Texas Tipsy Tours
Austin
Based downtown on Congress Avenue, Texas Tipsy Tours runs guided, driver-led outings around Austin, handling the transportation so you can focus on the stops rather than parking or navigating. It's the kind of operator worth booking ahead, since their listed hours run weekday mornings into mid-afternoon.
