What a fun weekend treat! We learned all about Austin while having delicious treats and teas. Most of the teas were sweetened which is not my favorite, but they accommodated me easily with refills on the tea I preferred. The food was delicious. While you are dining, the tour guide does a fantastic history lesson on Austin and points out the various sites as we are being driven around. Definitely a fun way to learn about Austin!

Terrible. I wish I could give zero stars. Tour was delayed 3 times & wasted the whole day waiting for a bus that never came. Finally just requested a refund. Ruined our trip. The phone number where we called also said they didn’t know where the bus was nor could they give an ETA. And they didn’t care & promptly accepted a refund. Ridiculous. 14 ppl left waiting for nothing. Will never book again

We never got on the bus. Our original reservation was for 12pm, Got a notification it moved, then again. We arrived for the 240 reservation but at 239, got another notification they are leaving at 315. Unacceptable. Paid for parking, got dressed. Had to find another activity last minute so our trip wouldn’t be ruined. There was nobody we could get a hold of to talk to for updates/reschedule/cancel.

The actual experience was very fun and interesting, the food and treats were super yummy and the tea of course tasted amazing, our server/tour guide/Entertainer was very nice and had a beautiful voice, she accommodated well and did a very good job of explaining the types of tea and such. The bus was comfortable and cute and nicely conditioned but a huge downside of this experience was the bus's lack of time management. I attended the 12:00 pm tour and I would not recommend that time if you have a tight travel schedule, the tour is estimated at 90 minutes and since there is only one bus logically, the 11:00 am tour collides with the 12:00 pm one. They recommend being there 15 minutes before your tour time to accommodate for boarding and ticket procedures, HOWEVER our bus literally arrived at 12:45… People were waiting for almost an hour while and and my sister waited for 45 minutes and it got very annoying, other than the extreme lateness of the bus the experience was good.
