Jess was a terrific host!
Had so much fun on our tour with Jess! She is so knowledgeable about Austin history and current events. We greatly enjoyed each stop along the way. Amazing tacos and churros. Also ordered a few drinks. She had excellent recommendations for things to try during the remainder of our visit. We would definitely do another tour next time we’re in town.
