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 list 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.
