What is a Detour?

  • A shared, interactive experience between guests and hosts, making every tour one-of-a-kind.
  • A balance between “headline” and “offbeat” Austin, so guests can check off their bucket lists and also experience the unexpected wow moments.
  • An experience led by big-personality, local-expert hosts. We don’t simply “find Tour Guides”, we seek out culture creators – actors, musicians, comedians, and other talented locals.
