Jax and Nicky Rule! - Jax and Nicky were super awesome! The defiantly took the time to engage with me individually and with the group. This tour was defiantly interactive in that engagement! While I have spent my life in the Austin area off and on, I saw a side and learned a few things that I have not had the chance before. 11 out of 10, would do a tour again and I defiantly will see what is happening next time I am in town

Austin Live Music Crawl: A Surreal Music Adventure - Austin Detours' Live Music Crawl was an unforgettable experience! They take you off the beaten path to hidden gems you won't find online – think quirky venues with an atmosphere straight out of a Tarantino-Lynch film noir. Each stop had its own unique charm: the first, a red velvet haven with a killer country band and a lively crowd, the second, a hidden spot where a soul legend came alive on stage, and the third, a Tarantino-esque bar with an unexpected (and hilarious) surprise. It was truly surreal and unlike anything I've ever experienced. Trace and Kelty are fantastic guides! They provide a comprehensive history of Austin's music scene, keeping the van ride entertaining and will give you great recommendations to enjoy while in Austin. Even as a solo traveler, they made me feel welcome and helped turn a group of strangers into a night of fun. This live music tour is a must for any music lover visiting Austin! The talented musicians and the one-of-a-kind bars create an unforgettable experience.

Marvelous Music! - Wow! We have visited Austin for years and this tour took us to clubs we never would have found on our own! Nick and Joe were PHENOMENAL guides! They made everyone feel at ease immediately. They really took care to plan a great range of music for us to experience. Highly recommend!

A Must Music Crawl! - Matt and Brent were fun, knowledgeable and engaging on the music crawl. We went to three different venues with 3 different genres. We even tried a little two step too! Would highly recommend the tour to learn the lay of the music venue land.

Fantastic music Awesome tour guides - Great way to get immersed in the Austin music scene. Max and Ike were incredible as our tour hosts, with awesome insight to music in general as well as Austin. The 3 venues each had their own vibe a genre performing. Ask for Ike and Max you will be glad you did.

Good with some issues - experience was nice it was a good experience. However, they left at the last stop without letting me know which makes me walk for a 10 minute to get to the drop off point.
