Why Groups Love our Custom Tours
“My organization took a tour that was crafted just for us based on our interests by the owner Emily. She was a wonderful guide who was clearly very passionate about the city, and I felt like I learned a lot of the hidden history of Austin. Our entire group had a fantastic time.”

What’s your cancellation policy for private tours?
Most private tours are paid in full at the time of booking. For larger groups booking more than 30 days in advance (typically 15+ guests), we offer the option to reserve with a 15% deposit.
In either case, the first 15% of your booking total is considered a nonrefundable commitment once you're within 30 days of the tour. This helps cover guide scheduling, planning time, and any tour customizations we've started preparing.
Our cancellation terms:
More than 30 days before the tour: You’ll receive a refund minus 5% of the total booking amount.
30 to 1 day before the tour: The 15% deposit is nonrefundable. Any additional amount you've paid will be refunded.
Less than 24 hours before the tour: No refund.
If only the 15% deposit has been paid and you cancel fewer than 30 days before the tour, no refund will be issued.
