Austin: Private Pedicab Mural Tour with Selfie Stops & Pickup

Summary

Austin murals by pedicab with local stories and photo stops

You’ll ride through Austin by pedicab with a local guide, stopping at famous murals like “I love you so much” and “Greetings from Austin.” Snap selfies, hear stories behind each wall, and catch unexpected moments along the way. Includes hotel pickup downtown — just bring your curiosity (and maybe your sense of humor).

What’s the experience like?

We rolled out from our hotel in downtown Austin — literally rolled, since our guide, Jamie, showed up on this bright green pedicab. There was a breeze that morning, just enough to ruffle the map Jamie kept tucked in her basket. We zigzagged through the city’s side streets, music drifting from somewhere (I think it was Willie Nelson, fittingly). The first stop was the “Greetings from Austin” mural. I tried to take a serious photo but ended up laughing because a local couple photobombed us with their dog wearing sunglasses. That set the tone — nobody here takes themselves too seriously, you know?

Jamie knew every shortcut and every mural’s backstory. She pointed out the “I love you so much” wall on South Congress — apparently people line up for that one at sunset, but we had it almost to ourselves except for a barista on break smoking nearby. The paint smelled faintly sweet in the sun. We hopped off for quick photos at places I’d never have found alone (one mural was behind a taco stand where we grabbed horchata — honestly, that might’ve been my favorite part). The city felt alive: bikes whirring past, someone yelling about breakfast tacos, and colors everywhere.

I lost count after maybe fifteen murals? It blurs together — not in a bad way, more like a collage of faces and slogans and wild color. Jamie told us stories about artists who painted them; she even knew which ones had changed over the years. At one point she laughed when I tried to pronounce “Willie for President” in my best Texas accent (it was not good). The whole thing felt less like a tour and more like tagging along with a friend who really loves her city. I still think about that last mural we saw — something about hope painted in blue letters — as we bumped back toward downtown.
