    Hipside Peddler is such a FUN thing to do because it is not every day that we get to ride around…read moreAustin on an electric assisted bar on wheels, while sippin' on an alcoholic beverage that makes you feel a little bit prettier & blasting your favorite music so loud, that you think you're at the club!! ;)) Sounds fun, right?! :)) Trust me, you WILL for sure get points for creativity if you book a tour w/ Hipside Peddler to celebrate a special occasion. We booked the "Eastside tour" w/ Hipside Peddler on Saturday, 11/14/2020 to celebrate my friends 40th birthday & we had so much FUN! This was my 1st time so I had no idea what to expect but I can say that I am so glad that we were able to safely celebrate my friend's milestone birthday during this time of pandemic craziness. Since sharing is caring here are a few of my "Helpful Tips", "FYIs", & "Likes"... FYI: *You will be peddling the same way you would if riding a bike so be mindful of your foot wear & you will be getting a mini workout while peddling. *There are mini fans above each seat that you can turn on, if needed. *The peddle boat driver does have a plexiglass barrier between him & the passengers as a COVID safety precaution & the peddle boat itself is all open w/out any walls. *You can tip your peddling boat driver in cash & via Venmo. *The "Eastside" tour is 2 hours long & we made 3 separate stops at different local bars for 15-20 mins each so you can use the restroom, cool off, take a few pictures w/ your peeps and/or buy a drink while relaxing at each bar. Our awesome peddle boat driver was Matt & he also made a 4th stop at an Italian ice truck. *Each passenger must submit a liability waiver & you can do it electronically. Once your tour has been booked, you will get the waiver emailed to you. Helpful Tip(s): *BEVERAGES~I recommend that you bring your own ice chest already filled w/ ice & beverages (no glass containers are allowed) & there is an open area in the middle of the peddle boat for ice chest storage. *FOOD~only snacks are allowed & I suggest you bring snacks that are easy to munch on since you will be peddling while eating them. ( ex: mini bags of pretzels, individually wrapped cookies) *MUSIC~The peddle boat does have a stereo system that is very loud & has a usb that you can connect your phone to for music. I highly recommend that you create a music playlist of songs that help set the vibe that you're going for. I made a playlist using Spotify of all the songs I wanted to play. Lastly, I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Matt, who was our p.d driver because he really did a GREAT job of explaining "all things peddle boat" :) & putting us at ease so we could fully enjoy ourselves. This was so appreciated because each of us were newbie peddle boat passengers. Stay AWESOME Hipside Peddler & for sure I'll be seeing you again very soon! ~Rebecca out

    Hipside Peddler was way more fun than anticipated! I went on the East Side Ride with a group of…read morefriends and Max really took care of us. He was very personable, patient and flexible with how we spent the allotted time. It was a great outing and a very different experience! On the evening I went it was just our smaller group on the tour so we had full control of the jams, cooler and schedule. We definitely held up traffic a bit when on some of the main roads but the motorists and bystanders we came across waved and cheered us on. Thankfully there is a motor on board so it's not necessary to be fully exerting yourself peddling. Recommend for a fun activity. Ask for Max!

    I experienced my very first "tea party" this year when I was invited by friends to go to Tea Around…read moreTown. I was so excited and looking forward to a great time with our group of 9. On the day of our visit, it was pouring down rain. We made sure to arrive early per the instructions and when we arrived there were several families already in line. After standing in the rain (with umbrellas) for 10-15 min past the pick up of time, many people including our group tried to contact the company for an update. We weren't able to reach anyone, so we attempted to take refuge in the swim club as the rain was really coming down. Many of the other people waiting did the same or went into their vehicles. It was close to an hour before the bus arrived and by then everyone was pretty much soaked from head to toe. Once the bus arrived we were let onto the bus and seated, our group was able to all sit together which was nice. The set up was cute and the on board entertainment was a nice touch, our host had a beautiful singing voice. We rode around Austin, unfortunately our windows were dirty/foggy so we didn't get the picturesque moments we expected. The food was what you would expect for a tea party, nothing to rave about but plated well. The drinks were pretty good but the drink portions were only a few ounces. Not enough to leave you satisfied, I think they should at least fill the cups half way or more and include bottles of water to help wash down the sandwiches and sweets. Overall, I probably wouldn't recommend this for adults, although it may be fun for younger kids with lower expectations.

    I attended Tea Around Town in Austin with a group of friends and was really looking forward to the…read moreexperience. The concept is adorable, and from the photos online it looked like a unique way to spend an afternoon. Unfortunately, the experience got off to a rough start. The company instructed guests to arrive 30 minutes before the 3:00 p.m. departure time, so our group arrived early as requested. We waited at the designated pickup location at the Swim Club, only for the bus to arrive more than 30 minutes after the scheduled start time. As we were waiting a huge rain storm blew in that left all the guests running for cover and getting drenched. (my group and i made it into someone's vehicle just as the monsoon hit but we saw several other tea attendees trying to take cover in the Swim Club outlet) What was most frustrating wasn't even the delay itself it was the complete lack of communication from the company. No email. No text update. No clear way to contact anyone for information. Standing around wondering if the event was still happening was not a great first impression and is bad customer service. Our group was literally about to call it a day and head somewhere else for our afternoon just as the bus pulled up. Once we finally boarded, I'll give credit where it's due: the interior of the bus is absolutely adorable. The decor is whimsical and exactly what you would want from a tea party experience. It was hands down my favorite part of the entire event. The food, however, was pretty underwhelming. While everything was presented nicely, the finger sandwiches and snacks were just okay. I was also surprised by how many of the savory items relied on onions or scallions. As someone who hates onions, it was excessive and repetitive across the menu. The tea service was another disappointment. We were served 2 hot teas, one cold, and then a cold pink lemonade. The souvenir teacups (which you get to keep). were only filled about halfway, and there wasn't a clear process for requesting refills. For an experience centered around tea, I expected more generous pours and more attentive beverage service. There was also a prerecorded audio tour of Austin playing during the ride, which sounded like a great idea in theory. Unfortunately, it was often difficult to hear because our host was singing over portions of the narration. While she was talented, having live singing competing with the tour audio created a clash that made it hard to enjoy either one fully. Overall, Tea Around Town has a cute concept and a beautiful bus, but the execution didn't live up to the price point. Better communication and a few adjustments to the food and tour experience would go a long way toward making this a memorable outing.

Not exactly what I wanted to see at such a moment. As it turned out later, technically, the error was in our order, but it would be nice if this detail was spelled out more clearly. After the appeal, the situation was quickly corrected, and by the next stage of the incident we were waiting for a much more comfortable transport solution. This made a positive impression, especially considering that there was a reaction and a desire to correct the situation. The drivers were professional, the organization on the routes - without significant failures. There are things that can be improved in terms of communication and transparency in the choice of transport, but in general the experience remains rather positive.

    The Ultimate Customer Service Story…read more We chartered a bus and coach for our daughter's wedding in Austin on March 30th. As the Father of the Bride I was shocked when the bus that showed up to bring our guests to the church was a school bus. After the ceremony I called Abdul to address my concern. After speaking to him it became clear that in reality the mistake was ours, not his. We had chartered a "transit" bus, which when you look on the website is a school bus. I wish the contract was more specific; as "school bus" certainly would have jumped out. But live and learn. Now to the good part. With my frustration high, Abdul was calm, cool and reasonable. He immediately realized I was not happy and kicked into high gear to see what he could do. While we had to take the school bus back to the hotel, by the time we left for the reception...less than one hour later...a gleaming full scale motor coach was sitting in front of the hotel instead of a school bus. Wow! I can't thank Abdul enough for stepping up. I was thoroughly impressed. When it comes to satisfying customers in a crisis, Austin Charter Services proves that it can still be done the old fashion way...do whatever you can to make your customer happy. I'll be back again some day for the next daughter. Thanks Abdul! Mike McCauley Argyle, TX P.S. The coach we ordered for the wedding party was perfect and the drivers were top notch.
