The Connoisseur
"Who knew that wine and pedicabs could be such a fun combination. A great way to see Austin and experience some of the city's best restaurants & bars. I'd customize or bring a group of friends to do a Red Devil Rides Wine Tasting Tour again in a heartbeat. Definitely the way to get around downtown and have fun doing it. Unique, fun and a little weird -- just like Austin."
