Thinking about gifting the Congress Avenue Walking Tour! Thoughts?

Hey everyone! I'm considering gifting the Congress Avenue Walking Tour to my parents when they visit Austin next month. They've never been to the Capitol or seen the Bat Bridge. Do you think they'd enjoy it? Anyone done the tour? What were your favorite parts? Also, is it easy to find parking downtown?

Just did the Congress Avenue Walking Tour - so fun!

Hey all! I just got back from the Congress Avenue Walking Tour, and I had a blast! The guide was funny and shared amazing stories about the Driskill Hotel and other landmarks. I took my kids, and they were really into it. The murals were a highlight! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cool way to learn about Austin.
