Overview

Ready to explore Austin like a local? Hop into our open-top Ford Bronco and leave the crowds behind. At Capital Hill Tours, we limit each ride to just you and your party; this means no giant buses and no one-size-fits-all itineraries. Instead, you’ll enjoy:

Experience Iconic Landmarks: From the panoramic views of Mount Bonnell, the colorful murals of East Austin, the vibe of South Congress, and the serenity of Lady Bird Lake.

Local Perks: A curated list of recommendations to help guide your vacation itinerary. On top of that, your new Capital Hill Rewards Pass unlocks exclusive deals at our hand-picked partner businesses.

Seamless Comfort: Modern ride, expert guides, and personalized storytelling at every stop—Lady Bird Lake included.

Tours sell out fast. Book now to secure your spot, and if we don’t make this the best few hours of your trip, we’ll make it right. Dive into the real Austin now!

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
