    Music Crawl and Small Group Tours

    We took a mother-daughter whirl wind weekend trip to Austin and booked 2 Austin Detours Tours: Music Crawl and small group tour of Austin. Ike, Luke and Joel were fantastic! All were informative, personable and funny :) On our next trip we will be sure to book other Austin Detours Tours. You can't go wrong.

    Great team outing and live music experience!

    I booked this live music crawl for my team and I to have a good bonding experience after a few days of meetings. I worked with Kyla to book the tour. She was super responsive and great on communication. The tour was reasonable cost. Communication on day of tour was great. Received a text message from Dave our tour guide and driver on the day of our tour, confirmed pick up location and he was right on time. Dave took us to 3 iconic Austin music spots; Saxon Pub, Broken Spoke and C-boys. All of these spots were fantastic and gave different flavors of live music. My team and I had a great experience along with having some fun and good bonding experiences while seeing some great musical talent that Austin has to offer! Highly recommend this for a business event or personal. It wont disappoint.

    Great music in a variety...

    Great music in a variety of venues. It was very convenient to be shuttled to the locations vs concerns about driving. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the music scene in Austin. An all together great experience!

    Austin Live Music Crawl: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Austin.

    How much does Austin Live Music Crawl cost?

    +

    Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Austin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Austin Live Music Crawl take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Austin is not rushed.

    Is Austin Live Music Crawl worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 516 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Austin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Austin Live Music Crawl?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Austin Live Music Crawl suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Austin Live Music Crawl?

    +

    Around 181 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Austin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Austin and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Austin Live Music Crawl start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Austin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Austin?

    +

    Austin's activity list runs on food and water: barbecue crawls to the pits that sell out by noon, Lady Bird Lake kayaking under the Congress Avenue bat colony, live music walks on Rainey and Red River, and Hill Country wine and distillery runs. We weight timing detail in the ranking, because a barbecue tour that arrives after the brisket is gone is a different product entirely. On Outty we rank every Austin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Austin: Hill Country BBQ & Wine Shuttle, Best of Austin Small-Group Driving Tour with Local Guide, The Escape Game: Epic 60-Minute Adventures in Downtown Austin. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Austin?

    +

    March to May and October to November, avoiding the triple-digit summer. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Austin?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Austin Live Music Crawl?

    +

    Included: Local driver and guide; Live entertainment - see authentic live music at different Austin venues; and Transportation in a Mercedes Sprinter van. Not included: Gratuities; and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Austin Live Music Crawl?

    +

    Meet Outside of The Driskill in the Valet Area. Please arrive by 7:45 PM. We are unable to delay the departure for guests who arrive late. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Austin Live Music Crawl offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Austin Live Music Crawl?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Austin Live Music Crawl wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Austin Live Music Crawl if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
