Overview

To begin your tour, your local friendly guide will meet you outside of Merit Coffee, 222 West Ave #120, Austin, TX 78701, United States. Starting out, you will walk towards the Willie Nelson statue, passing by the Austin Public Library along the way.

From there, you will begin walking through the Rainey Street Historic District. This increasingly popular tucked-away street is dominated by renovated houses turned into bungalow bars.

Your guide will then lead you toward the Colorado River, where you will see The Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge.

Next, you will head to your first food stop along your tour for an incredible pulled pork sandwich. After you’ve finished your sandwich, you’ll need something refreshing to quench your thirst.

From here, you will continue toward your next food stop through the Red River Cultural District.

Your last, but definitely not least, BBQ stop is the perfect way to top off your tour.
