Willie Nelson StatueStanding proudly in front of the Moody Theater, Willie's statue is an iconic representation of why Austin is known as the "Live Music Capital of America". In addition to the statue, there is a cast bronze map at this intersection which shows detail of "old Austin" and the surrounding bodies of water. A perfect opportunity to give our tour the right historical context!

Just a short beautiful stroll from the Congress Ave. bridge, (aka Bat Bridge), to the historic Rainey St. District. Along your walk, your guide will inform you on everything from details of the famous Austin bats to the history of the Austin barges and ferries before the age of iron bridges. This is a wonderful shaded addition to your tour with spectacular views of the city skyline and, of course, Lady Bird Lake. :-)

Rainey Street Historic DistrictThe Rainey Street District is one of Austin's best kept secrets! It is an eclectic combination of soaring new condominiums and charming cottages and bungalows. These quaint little dwellings used to be private homes in Austin but now serve as some of the finest, and certainly most fun, restaurants and breweries in the city! While in the Rainey District you will be able to grab a drink or some great food truck eats at the "Stay Put Brewery". This is an award winning brewery with nearby access to some of the finest truck grub in the city!
